Crafting Ethical Wills

Ethical wills are an ancient practice in the Jewish tradition.

Spiritual leader, Rabbi Aaron Gaber, of Newtown’s Congregation Brothers of Israel, will present, “Crafting Ethical Wills.” It is an expression of your experience, values and memories. It is the wisdom that you have earned in your life and a gift you leave your loved ones. By documenting your personal insights and principles, you can provide guidance for their life’s journey, fostering a deeper understanding of your motivations and character. Ethical wills are an enduring legacy of values and principles that your loved ones may cherish and carry forward to enrich future generations.

I want to Downsize BUT what do I do with my STUFF?!?

Many of the people I meet with have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years.  Most often they have lived in their home for 25+ Years.  

So, what are your options?

First, would be to go through your things.  

Do you want to Sell Items or Do you just want to donate and have someone help you pack and downsize?

If you want to sell items in your home.  The most common way to do so is to have a local company come in and have a sale for you. 

Or if you have more valuable items (not everyday household) you can have items auctioned off as well. 

But wanting to sell items and needing someone to help pack and downsize you are two different services that people often mistake as one. 

If you are in the need of someone who offers any of these services, please call me (267) 397-6291.  Or visit www.BucksCountyBoomers.com

Red Hot Tip of the Week:
Clutter Eats Away at your Equity
When you Sell.  Less is More.   Too many items makes a space look smaller.  That directly affects your sales price.
