The work, up close
Declan O'Brien works with people in Savannah making the move out of a longtime home, and starts the process early so nothing gets decided in a rush.
Downsizing is rarely about square footage. It is about forty years of a family in one building and who has the energy to sort it. In Savannah I work almost entirely with people making that move, and I have learned that the timeline is the kindness. We start earlier than anyone wants to, so nothing has to be decided in a hurry at the end.

A home value estimate is one way to start early. No pressure to list, just a number to plan around while there's still time to decide.
Nothing good gets decided in the last two weeks. If a move is somewhere on the horizon, Declan O'Brien can help you start sorting through it now, at whatever pace makes sense.
