From the family home to the next one
Moving out of a house you've lived in for 30 or 40 years is a big decision, and it rarely happens on a convenient timeline. Many of the families we help in Cobourg are moving a parent from a west-end bungalow or an older home near downtown into a condo by the harbour, a seniors' apartment, or a retirement residence. We start by measuring the new space, help decide what fits and what matters most, then pack, move and set up the new home. Whatever doesn't make the move is sold, donated or cleared, so the house is ready to list. We work across Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton, Baltimore, Brighton and the rest of Northumberland County.
What a Cobourg downsize involves
Downsizing isn't one job, it's four. We can handle all of them, or just the parts your family needs help with.
01
Plan what moves
We measure the new condo or suite, then help your parent choose the furniture, keepsakes and everyday things that fit and matter most.
03
Sell what's left
Furniture and household goods that don't make the move are sold through online auction, so the proceeds go back to your parent, not a dumpster.
02
Pack, move and set up
Room by room, we pack what's going, label every box, and coordinate moving day so the new place feels like home by the first night.
04
Clear the house for sale
Usable items go to local charities, the rest is hauled away, and the house is cleaned and ready for your realtor's photos.
Let's talk about the move.
