How To Deal With Downsizing
If you are transitioning from a house to an apartment, there’s a good chance you’ll need to downsize your possessions and furnishings before moving in. While some people find the process of downsizing liberating, it is a prohibitive drawback for others who have a home full of items that have high monetary and/or sentimental value.
There are several options to deal with downsizing:
Donate and/or sell your items: Selling or donating items is a quick and (usually) painless way to get rid of a lot of things quickly. This is a good option if your items have low monetary and/or sentimental value.
Store your items with friends or family: If you want to keep a lot of what’s in your home, but don’t have space in your new apartment, consider asking friends or family to store items for you. Of course, this option only works if you have friends or family who themselves have extra storage space available to lend.
Put your items in a professional storage unit: If you don’t want to get rid of your things, and don’t have friends or family who can hold onto them for you, a professional storage solution is a great option. Climate-controlled storage is an excellent way to protect items that are delicate or need to be kept at certain temperatures.
Other Services To Consider
If you’re new to the Sacramento area and plan on renting as a temporary solution before purchasing a home, consider renting a private mailbox. A private mailbox can alleviate the hassle of having to change address and deal with mail forwarding when you transition from an apartment to a new home.
Finally, if you have a medium or large wine collection that won’t fit in your new apartment, GoldKey offers private wine storage lockers that are temperature controlled to industry-recommended specifications. This gives you a safe and secure way to store your wine collection if your new apartment doesn’t have enough space.
