Thankfully, there is a company that can help you with this process from start to finish. Caring Transitions of Charleston is a locally owned and operated company serving seniors and their families who are going through one of life’s many transitional phases. The owner, Jessica Ancrum, a licensed auctioneer and senior real estate specialist, believes that, with the right outlook and planning, the process of downsizing can become what she calls “right-sizing.” Ancrum explained: “Walking families through the steps of right-sizing, from decluttering and organizing to selling valuables, liquidating assets and the sale of your home, we help clients make educated decisions, ensuring that they understand the psychology and steps involved in their transition. Our team develops personal relationships so that we can prioritize our clients’ goals, making it easier to enjoy their new lifestyle.” Caring Transitions coordinates movers, packs and unpacks and can even floor-plan their clients’ new residences. The team assists families in sorting and organizing, ensuring that families take only what they can comfortably accommodate in their new home. Items that won’t be making the move are shipped to family members, sold, donated, recycled or discarded. Items that are for sale are made available both through estate sales and online auction services to maximize potential shoppers and honor their history and sentimental value. Ancrum is passionate about helping people declutter to live a less stressful life and often gives downsizing seminars in the tri-county area. She hopes that spreading her knowledge will help families reframe their upcoming transitions and look forward to their new start.
