How does a senior downsize without the stress of a two-move mess?

Avoiding a two-move mess comes down to timing the sale of the current home and the purchase of the next one close enough together that there is no gap requiring temporary storage or a second move. That takes coordinating financing, closing dates, and any needed repairs on both ends at the same time, rather than treating them as separate transactions. Brian Beatty sequences these steps for downsizing seniors so the whole move happens in one coordinated pass.
