Senior downsizing resources for Spotsylvania, VA
From Massaponax and Salem Fields to the quiet of Lake Anna, here is what Spotsylvania County families need to know about downsizing, selling, and moving later in life.
Downsizing in Spotsylvania
Many Spotsylvania homes come with a little more land and a lot more to sort through. Take it in stages: sort at your own pace, plan a sale for what you are not keeping, and line up the move. The guides below walk through each one.
When you want help, Addison Moulds, a licensed REALTOR and Seniors Real Estate Specialist serving the county, can time the home sale with your move, and Smooth Transitions of Fredericksburg handles the hands-on work.

Questions & answers
The questions families ask us first
Is Downsizing VA a moving company?
No. Downsizing VA is a free resource center. The hands-on work, sorting, packing, estate sales, the full move, and the home sale, is provided by Smooth Transitions of Fredericksburg and Seniors Real Estate Specialist Addison Moulds.
Do we have to sell the home first?
Not necessarily. Whether you sell first, buy first, or move in stages depends on your finances and the market. Addison, our Seniors Real Estate Specialist, helps you choose the order that fits your situation.
What happens to the things we do not keep?
You have options: pass them to family, sell them through a professionally managed estate sale, or donate them. Our estate sale checklist walks through each one, and Smooth Transitions can manage the sale and the donations for you.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of the home and how much hands-on help you want. Our article on the cost of downsizing in Central Virginia explains what drives it. Smooth Transitions can quote the hands-on work.
