How long does it take to downsize from a Hollywood house?

Downsizing from a Hollywood house takes about as long as any coordinated sale and purchase: time to prepare and list the current home, find and close on the next one, and handle cleanout in between, and skipping preparation on either side usually adds time rather than saving it. Timing both closings close together avoids paying for two homes or renting temporarily. Brian Beatty sequences these steps for Hollywood sellers so the schedule reflects reality rather than hope.
