Watch first: is it time to right-size?

Does this sound familiar?

More house than you use

You're cleaning, maintaining, and paying for rooms you rarely go into.

Costs that keep adding up

Upkeep, utilities, and repairs on a larger home take more time and money every year.

Not sure where to start

What's your home worth? What happens to your property taxes? Where would you even go? It's a lot to sort out.

Right-sizing isn't about giving anything up. It's about a home that's easier to live in and a plan you understand before you make a move.

What clients say

"Steve and Tricia came prepared with comps, explanations, and information that put mom at ease... Tricia hand delivered offers to mom so she would have hard copies instead of trying to understand everything on the computer."Sharon M, Google review, March 2025

Frequently asked questions

Is the Right-Sizing Package really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to list your home with us.

What is Prop 19?

Prop 19 is a California law that lets homeowners 55 and older, and some other qualifying owners, transfer their property tax base to a replacement home anywhere in the state, within certain limits. Your report shows how it could apply to you.

Can I buy my next home before I sell?

Often, yes. We can line up both closings or plan a buy-first approach, depending on your finances. We plan both moves together so you're not stuck in between.

What if I'm moving out of California?

We'll help you sell here and introduce you to a trusted agent in your new state.
