Downsizing Step One: Start With the Real Estate — not the stuff (yet)

If you’re thinking about downsizing, what’s the very first thing you should do?

Most people assume it’s this: “I need to get rid of all this stuff first.”
Sorting through closets, attics, garages, and cabinets can feel like climbing a mountain—and many folks stall out before they even start.

But here’s the truth: You don’t have to start with your personal property. In fact, you shouldn’t.

Start With the Big Piece First—Your Real Estate

Your home is likely your most valuable asset. Making a plan for your real estate first creates clarity and momentum that carries through every other step.

Instead of spending months (or years) piecing together your downsizing process, imagine handing off the entire transition to one trusted team.

What if you worked with a company that could:

• Professionally photograph and market your home or land
• List your property or conduct a real estate auction
• Organize and conduct a personal property or estate auction
• Coordinate pickup and removal of sold items
• Handle everything—from the first call to closing day—on a smooth, 45-day timeline

That’s Not Just a Dream. It’s What We Do Every Day.

At Hurley Real Estate & Auctions, we understand that downsizing is more than logistics—it’s emotional, it’s physical, and it can be overwhelming. But with the right team behind you, it doesn’t have to be.
