DOWNSIZING

MAKE SPACE FOR WHAT’S NEXT—WITHOUT THE OVERWHELM

At Kerry Mayer Home, we understand that downsizing is deeply personal, especially for seniors and families navigating major life transitions. The decisions and logistics can feel endless and overwhelming. Kerry founded KMH to provide the kind of thoughtful, hands-on support that honors your memories while making space for what’s next.

Our team combines design sensibility, organizer precision, and genuine compassion to transform a daunting process into a calm, concierge experience. We help you edit with confidence, manage every detail, and settle beautifully into a home that truly fits the life you’re living now.

Our downsizing services are ideal for anyone navigating a major life transition. We work with empty nesters looking to simplify, seniors seeking a supportive and dignified move (and their adult children who want expert guidance), families blending households or relocating out of state, and estate executors or real-estate professionals preparing a home to list. Whatever your reason for downsizing, we bring clarity, care, and seamless coordination every step of the way.

Our Process

1

Discovery & Plan

We learn your goals, timeline, and what matters most. Then we map an efficient room-by-room plan, including donation/resale strategy and move logistics.

2

Edit with Ease

We guide decisions using simple categories (Keep / Relocate / Donate / Sell / Archive / Recycle). We label as we go to keep every choice clear.

3

Responsible Release

We coordinate donation pickups, coordinate consigning valuable pieces, arrange junk removal, and provide receipts for your records.

4

Pack & Protect

We pack what’s coming with you using our proven label system for an effortless move-in. High-value items receive custom protection with a 3rd party crating company.

5

Seamless Move day

We coordinate with movers, oversee load-out/load-in, and troubleshoot in real time so you don’t have to.

6

Settle in Beautifully

Our team will Unpack, organize, and install systems tailored to your routines—pantry, closets, bath, office, garage—so you’re genuinely “home” in days, not months.
