Reliable Downsizing Services for Seniors

As a move management company, Brilliant Moves provides guidance throughout the moving process as well as downsizing services for our clients. Downsizing can be a daunting task. Moving to a new and often smaller place necessitates the need to condense belongings. For those with collections or sentimental items, downsizing is especially difficult. Brilliant Moves provides techniques and tips to make the downsizing process an easier one.

How to Downsize

  • 1. Ask Yourself These Questions

    Do I use it?  Do I love it?  Do I have room for it?

  • 2. Sell, Give, Donate, or Discard

    Make sure everything you sell or give away is in good-to-excellent condition.

  • 3. Plan Time to Downsize

    Depending on how much you have accumulated, downsizing can take weeks, months, or longer.

  • 4. Get Help If You Need It

    While family or friends can be helpful with downsizing, sometimes it is best to work with an objective professional, like Brilliant Moves, with no emotional ties to your belongings. 

  • 5. Evaluate Your Need for Temporary Storage

    Sometimes moves happen suddenly and without adequate time to truly downsize. In such an instance, consider renting temporary storage, and make a plan to complete downsizing after your move.

Tips for Downsizing

Downsizing is something everyone needs to do at some point. At Brilliant Moves, we know this can be an emotional journey, as many people feel sad or guilty about letting go of sentimental belongings or family heirlooms. Letting go of things that no longer serve a purpose can be freeing, and you may find joy in donating items to help others. Through our downsizing process, you may also develop a greater appreciation for the things you keep.

The downsizing process takes time, effort, and thought. Our downsizing services from Brilliant Moves provide tips and support to help you:


  • Determine an item's usefulness to you
  • Give away, sell, or donate items 
  • Recycle whenever possible 
  • Discard items that cannot be donated or recycled
  • Evaluate the potential need for additional storage space
