Intentional Living
Through Strategic Selling.

Downsizing is a major financial pivot that requires a level of analytical rigor most real estate agents overlook. It is not just about moving to a smaller house; it is about harvesting equity and optimizing your carry costs for the next twenty years.

As a CPA and Realtor, I help my clients calculate the multi-year impact of their decision. We analyze property tax relief programs like "Stay NJ" against the skyrocketing insurance costs of the Sun Belt to ensure your move is as financially sound as it is lifestyle-focused.

How does "Stay NJ" impact my decision?

Stay NJ is legislation aimed at cutting property tax bills in half for seniors 65+, capped at $6,500/year. This makes staying local significantly more attractive from a long-term carry perspective.

How do you handle the physical move?

Our Concierge Service manages everything from estate sales and junk removal to professional staging and minor repairs, ensuring a frictionless transition.
