Overview

Planning to downsize your current home to something more manageable in the future? Then this is for you!

Downsize with Ease

Ready to simplify life and make space for what matters most?

Join us for a fun, relaxed workshop all about taking the stress out of downsizing! Whether you're thinking about moving to a smaller home or just want to make life a little lighter, this event brings together two powerhouse local experts to guide you through every step of the journey - from deciding to move all the way through settling into your new home.

Your Co-Hosts:

Katie Swinson is both a Senior Real Estate Specialist and an occupational therapist, which means she understands not just the housing side of downsizing, but also the human side. She'll share local insights and resources, practical tips, and first steps to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Abilities Network is a nonprofit senior move management organization serving Maryland seniors and families. Their dedicated team specializes in personalized relocation services - from customized floor planning and downsizing assistance to coordinating vendors, packing, directing movers, and fully resettling your new home.

Together, Katie and Heather Murphy with Abilities Network cover every angle of the downsizing journey so you leave with a clear, complete plan that's actually doable.

This event is great for:

Empty nesters starting to plan their next move
Adult kids helping parents through the process
Anyone ready to make life feel a little simpler and more manageable

Come enjoy light bites, drinks, and good conversation - you'll leave feeling inspired and ready for your next chapter!
