Downsizing Made Easy: FREE Seminar for Seniors

Susanne McInerney of the Mass Estate Team at RE/MAX Leading Edge and Newton Senior Center, Present Free Seminar, “Downsizing Made Easy”

5 Step System Helps Senior Citizens & Families Navigate Complexities of Moving

As the population ages, more and more senior citizens and their caregiver families are faced with the challenges of “downsizing”: usually a move for the elder from the traditional family home into a smaller apartment or an assisted living community.

To help Newton and area seniors and their families accomplish this life transition with the most ease, local real estate agent Susanne McInerney of the Mass Estate Team at RE/MAX Leading Edge has teamed with The Newton Senior Services to provide the free seminar “Downsizing Made Easy” at the Newton Senior Center located at Newton Senior Center, 345 Walnut Street in Newtonville. This casual – yet educational forum – will take place on Wednesday March 9, 2016 from 1:30PM-3:00PM.

The seminar will include presentation and discussion of The 5 Steps to Downsizing Made Easy along with topics including: questions to consider before making a move, senior living options in the Newton & surrounding area, questions for touring senior living communities, tips for hiring various professionals related to the moving process, guidance on estate sales and estate auctions, and many other pertinent topics.

“As a Newton and surrounding area Realtor who specializes in helping senior citizens and their families with their real estate needs, this part of my job is a great joy. Seniors and their families often don’t know which way to turn when making these important decisions,” says Susanne McInerney. “Downsizing and moving can certainly seem overwhelming, but I’m happy to share how it can simplified and actually made relatively easy.”
