Moving is one of the most stressful things you can do - it’s up there with divorce as one of the most anxiety-inducing events in your life. Yet it doesn’t need to be that way. With a bit of planning ahead and help from the experts, you can dramatically reduce the stress around moving. That’s where we come in! Owner and President Laurie Cadigan knows only too well the trials and tribulations of moving - not only has she helped countless people move houses, she and her husband did the tricky “downsize'' move a few years ago. Laurie has since hosted several seminars on the art of preparing your home for sale and downsizing, sharing the tips and tricks she learned then to help people through the process. She teams up with experienced stagers Jan and Liz from Perfectly Placed For You and Lisa Skripps from Linen and Lantern, downsizing specialist Marie LeBlanc from Transitions Liquidation, and antiques expert Bobbi Benson from North Bridge Antiques to walk you through some of the tricky decisions around this process and offer resources to help. They share thoughts on what to keep, sell and donate, how to see your home through a buyer’s eyes, and that most tricky of situations - how to get your grown-up kids to take their stuff!
