How to Right-Size Your Life Without the Stress
By Georgia brokers Ron & Addison Corbin · The Corbin Real Estate Team

Less house, more life

Downsizing isn’t just about “moving to something smaller.” It’s about trading maintenance and extra space for freedom, flexibility, and the next season of your life. This guide walks you through the emotional and practical sides of downsizing—so you can make clear decisions without feeling rushed or guilty.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Decide if now is truly the right time to downsize.
  • Clarify what you want more of (and less of) in your daily life.
  • Create a realistic sorting, donating, and packing plan.
  • Prepare your current home for sale with smart, targeted updates.
  • Choose the right next home—condo, townhome, 55+, or low-maintenance single-family.
  • Coordinate timing so you’re not stuck between homes.

Who this book is for

This book is perfect if you:

  • Are recent or soon-to-be empty nesters.
  • Feel “over-housed” and ready for less maintenance.
  • Want to free up equity for travel, retirement, or other goals.
  • Are helping a parent or relative transition to a new place.

How to use this book

Read this book with a calendar nearby. As you go, circle the ideas and timelines that fit your situation. Then we’ll sit down together and turn your notes into a step-by-step downsizing plan that feels doable—not overwhelming.
