Question 4

Will I get something to take home?

Yes! Every attendee receives our Downsizing Toolkit — including a checklist, declutter guide, moving timeline, trusted partner directory, and even a bonus list of local charities that accept donations.

Question 5

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself (and a spouse, family member, or friend if you’d like). A notepad is handy, but we’ll provide checklists and guides for you.

Question 6

Will food or refreshments be provided?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’ll have light refreshments — and attendees are also invited to join us for an optional complimentary lunch after the seminar.

Question 7

What if I can’t attend this date?

Accepted Answer

We run these seminars regularly. If you can’t make this one, email us at 'matt@soldsignexpert.com' and we’ll notify you of the next available date.

Question 8

Is this seminar going to make me feel guilty about my “stuff”?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. This is a judgment-free zone. Everyone has too many coffee mugs, VHS tapes, and boxes marked “miscellaneous.”

Question 9

Do you cover what to do with 49 sets of Tupperware lids that don’t fit anything?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — that’s our specialty. (Well, not really, but the declutter guide will help!)

Question 10

Can I bring my adult kids so they can be part of the process and I can put them to work?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In fact, we encourage it — sometimes hearing the information as a group helps you create a plan the works best for your family.

Question 11

Will this seminar convince my spouse to finally part with 37 coffee mugs?

Accepted Answer

We can’t promise miracles… but our declutter guide might help spark negotiations.

Question 12

If I attend, do I have to commit to downsizing right away?

Accepted Answer

Nope. You can keep your stuff, your house, and your coffee mugs as long as you want. This is about learning, not pressure.  As a matter of fact . . . we'll share some strategies for staying in your current home as long as you want to . . . we are all about you living your very best life!

Question 13

Do you have a special downsizing strategy for 1980s exercise equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Step 1, dust it off. Step 2, post a curb alert on Craigslist. Step 3, celebrate the extra garage space.
