Easing the Stress of a Senior Move

Moving to smaller quarters after the children move out or retirement kicks in can be stressful and a pain…so many memories and deciding what you can’t take with you.

You can stage a garage sale and endure the hassle if you enjoy bargaining over the value of your personal property collected over many years.

For most, though, using a professional is a better idea and an auction house might generate more money.

For local on-site “tag sales” (estate sales), consider “Caring Transitions” (410-951-4111). For auctions off-site, I’ve used Caplan’s Auction Co. in Savage (410-750-7678) and Associated Auctioneers in West Friendship (fairgrounds) (410-489-7200).

Good luck and think positively! No more snow shoveling to do.
