Thinking about downsizing? There’s one thing I want you to think about BEFORE you think about selling.

It’s not your home’s value.

It’s not interest rates.

And it’s definitely not how much stuff you’ve accumulated over the years.

It’s this:

Can your current home still work for the life you want to live?

Stairs. Property taxes. Yard maintenance. Repairs. Cleaning. Space you rarely use.

Sometimes the signs that it’s time to make a move have nothing to do with the real estate market.

That’s why I’m hosting a FREE Downsizing Seminar for Oak Park, River Forest & Forest Park homeowners.

We’ll talk about:

🏠 When it actually makes sense to sell
📦 How to tackle decades of stuff
💰 What your home is really worth today
🔑 How to buy your next home before selling
🛠️ What to fix — and what NOT to spend money on

No pressure. No sales pitch. Just practical information to help you figure out what your next move could look like.

☕ FREE food & refreshments

📍 Maze Branch Library
845 Gunderson Ave, Oak Park

🗓️ Saturday, October 10
⏰ 10:30–11:30 AM

If you’ve been thinking, “Maybe it’s time…” — this is a good place to start.

Comment “DOWNSIZE” or send me a DM and I’ll get you the details.

Congratulations Alice Matthews Kustusch 🏡❤️

Some closings are a transaction. Others are a journey.

This one was definitely a journey.

My clients and I started this search about a year ago, working virtually along the way and navigating the process from a distance. There were plenty of conversations, showings, possibilities, and decisions along the way — but today, it all came together.

And I couldn’t be happier for them.

They found an awesome house that I truly think is going to be a great home for them, and getting to be part of that journey makes this job so rewarding.

Congratulations to my amazing clients! 🎉🥂

Thank you for trusting me, sticking with the process, and allowing me to help you find the right place.

So happy for you both — and so excited for this next chapter! ❤️🏡
