Downsizing to a ranch in South Lyon
A plan for selling the home you've lived in for years and moving to one that fits your life now.
Downsizing in South Lyon to one floor
Downsizing in South Lyon can mean moving to a 1950s brick ranch near downtown, with everything on one floor. With South Lyon's lower price point than Ann Arbor, a smaller home here can also free up some of your equity.
It's two decisions at once, so we plan the sale of your current home and the purchase of your next one before anything goes on the market.

Selling the home you have
Your price comes from the sales near your current home, and we set it together. In a long-owned home, small changes like clearing surfaces and letting in light usually do more than big projects, and I'll tell you what's worth doing.
Your home gets the full plan: photos, video, drone, a property website, and a paid social media campaign that reaches buyers in and around the Ann Arbor area.
Your pace and your order
We decide with your lender whether you'll buy first or sell first. You set the pace, and nobody gets rushed. Once the order is set, I run a checklist on both sides. Read more about selling your home in South Lyon.
