Being a realtor, you might have come across people living alone or senior citizens who might be willing to sell their bungalow and settle in a small house but they cannot bear to part with their property. These are the people who have lived in their respective homes for a decade or so and thus they are really in the habit of the home. One of the best ways to live in such a house is to downsize the property.

By following some simple tips, you can get to keep all the stuff while making your house more manageable. Once you have started the process, you will find it a lot easier than what you have really imaged it to be. Read on to get the details.

Make a list of all the items which are really important and others which are rarely used. While planning to downsize your house it is essential to remove all the unnecessary things. It may make a person feel sad but things that have not been used for the last two years should be thrown out. Start the cleaning process months before the actual day as it will help you to focus on all the important things and would further help you to keep them at a safe place.

Get the feel of downsized rooms by comparing them to a place of similar dimensions. For example your new living room might be of the same size as your present bedroom. This comparison would help you to do a reality check and would also give a fair idea of what all can be included in the new room. Do a comparison for all the rooms and then decide what is necessary and keep it.

While thinning out the belongings, do not throw everything in the bin, instead recycle or reuse them. You can also put up a garage sale to earn some money from different items which can be used by other people. Donate old clothes to needy and poor people. While downsizing your house, remember to take care of the environment as well and find home for your waste. It is always a wise decision to keep only one half to one third of your belongings when you plan to move in a smaller hose.

For all your high end items, how about planning an auction? Get in touch with an antique or secondhand goods dealer and sell your precious collection to them. However even if after an auction you are unable to sell off some of your items, you can easily donate them to a charity or a shelter. However remember that the stuff should be present in good condition.

After you are through with the packing, remember to mark the boxes with colored stickers in order to give them an identity. Simple as well as efficient organizing ideas can help you by making the process easier. Whatever be your reason for downsizing your property, what matters in the end is that you are happy with the end result and can easily adjust in the new surroundings.
