The two biggest benefits to be found with downsizing your Seattle home would be money and time. Both of those items are tied together in the sense that a smaller home or apartment will cost you less in electric, heating and water bills not to mention rent or mortgage payments. Less space means you won’t be spending so much time cleaning rooms you never use or mowing lawns and cleaning out rain gutters. You’ll be free to take up a hobby, spend more times with friends and family or just to relax. How great would that be?

Making the downsize transition means you’ll need to pick a new home first. As soon as that has been accomplished you’ll have a great sense of what you’ll be able to take with you in terms of furniture, appliances and all the rest. This is when you should put a company like Junk King Seattle on stand-by alert. They should be at the ready to remove all the items you won’t be taking with you. Best of all, Junk King can make many of those items donated pieces to a charity that can use them. All the rest can go right to the dump!

When you start to survey what you want to get rid of, begin with the rooms you don’t actively use. These could be kids’ room where the kids have grown up and moved on, the basement storage area or the garage. As soon as you have earmarked which items you’ll want Junk King to take away, you should consider slapping a sticker on them. Any sticker will do. Then the instruction can be given to the Junk King Seattle crew to take away anything with that sticker. What could be simpler than that?

You don’t have to accomplish everything in a day. If you know you’re moving out at the end of the month then tackle a room at a day. You might just be amazed at how much stuff you can actually live without. The Junk King crew can also make a sweep of your front and back yards. They’ll be able to remove play sets, hot tubs, sheds, lawnmowers, kayaks, wood and any other type of yard waste. There is no need to leave anything behind for the new tenant as long as Junk King is on the job.

Downsizing isn’t a step “down” but a proactive way of making the most out of what is important to you. Being able to save up for retirement and increase the time you can spend doing things you like matters a lot.
