Downsizers

What is Downsizers?

Some homeowners reach a stage where less home just makes sense. Whether it’s retirement, an empty nest, or simplifying life, this play helps you identify and connect with longtime owners quietly thinking about their next move.

The Right Audience

These are longtime owners, often 55+, in homes that no longer match their lifestyle. Some are approaching retirement, living with adult children, or empty nesters. They’re open to downsizing but want guidance from someone who understands the emotional and financial transition.

The Right Message

Lead with empathy and encouragement. These owners are thinking about quality of life—not urgency. Show how downsizing brings freedom, flexibility, and a better lifestyle fit. Share stories of others who’ve made the shift and offer help planning their next step when they’re ready.
