downsizing

How should downsizers compare real estate agents?

Short answer

Downsizers should compare agents by planning patience, sale-and-purchase sequencing, condo or bungalow fit, preparation support, communication style, referral transparency, and whether the agent can coordinate a lower-stress transition rather than rushing a decision.
