A house full of stuff getting you overwhelmed?
I constantly come across seniors who have collected things throughout their lifetime. Sometimes this collecting becomes a hazard, since many years of collecting takes up space. Often seniors may find they can no long maneuver about since the collecting after awhile may cover every inch of the floor.
Not only is collecting to this extent unhealthy it can cause many other difficulties. If a person is trying to sell or refinance their home appearance is very important, if you want top dollar. With a FHA reverse mortgages, I have had several underwriters refuse to clear the loan to close, because of an overwhelming amount of clutter. Clutter can be a fire or health hazard, amongst many other things.
I have been speaking with What is a senior move manager?
Katie Hustead, Owner of Paper Moon Moves
Here is what Katie has to say..........
"If you or a senior you love need to downsize and move, don’t stress about doing it alone. A new industry, senior move management, has emerged to fill in when seniors or their caregivers need help with the tedious process of dismantling a home and moving.
Most of us start with a floor plan of the new home and help the senior decide which of their things will fit comfortably. Then we help them sell, donate, recycle or ship gifts to family and friends. And we can manage the move – selecting good movers, overseeing the move, and unpacking.
The best part of our job is the moment the senior walks into their new home: the bed is made, pictures are on the walls, and dishes are put away. The senior, having avoided the work and worry of doing all this alone, can plunk down in their favorite easy chair and feel at home. That’s why we all love what we do.
