“After living in our family home for 30 years, the idea of buying again was daunting. This course broke it down into simple, logical steps. The module on contract types and how to make a strong offer was particularly helpful. We've now bought a low-maintenance unit in Weston Creek and couldn't be happier.”

Questions
we get asked
Will I be pressured to sell if I take the course?
No. The course is purely educational. Whether you sell now, later or not at all is entirely up to you.
Does the course cost anything?
No. It is completely free, a no-pressure resource for Canberra homeowners thinking about downsizing.
What if I'm not ready to downsize yet?
That is fine. Many people join months or even years before they move. The course helps you prepare early, so you know exactly what to do when the time comes.
How much time will it take?
Each lesson is short and easy to follow. Move through it at your own pace and revisit any lesson, with no deadlines.
What if my situation is unique?
That is expected. Downsizing looks different for everyone, whether it is a smaller home, moving closer to family or retirement living. The course covers a range of scenarios you can adapt to your own.
Can my family be involved?
Of course. Share the course with family members, and include them in any conversation with us.
