Downsizing Made Simple

At Downsizing Made Simple, we understand the importance of creating a comfortable and personalized living space, whether it's a cozy vacation rental or a new home in an Independent or Assisted Living community. Our founder, Karen Lievense, is dedicated to providing expert support and guidance to seniors transitioning into their new homes, as well as helping homeowners turn their properties into profitable vacation rentals.

Senior Design + Relocation Support

Karen believes that everyone, at every age, deserves a home that provides comfort, wellness, and beauty. She guides and supports her clients in making the exciting, and often challenging, life transition from their large family home into a smaller apartment in an Independent or Assisted Living community. Karen's organized and personalized process removes the stress and anxiety from what can be an overwhelming experience, resulting in a new, well-designed smaller home that is personal, safe, and efficient.

Karen works closely with her clients to understand their needs and preferences, ensuring that their new home reflects their personality and style. Her expertise in senior design and relocation support helps her clients navigate the process with ease and confidence. Karen is committed to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for her clients, making the transition to their new home as smooth as possible.

Vacation Rental Design + Home Staging

Karen also supports her clients in creatively monetizing their real estate investments. A beautifully designed and well-functioning short-term vacation rental can profitably off-set the cost of home ownership. Your cherished retreat can also be a desirable haven for paying guests. The trick is to create a space that's personal and meaningful for you and your family, while being appealing and durable enough for others.

Karen believes that a well-staged home will spark a buyer into imagining themselves living there. The properties she stages suggest the promise of space, ease of livability, and the potential for personalization. Whether you're looking to rent out your property on a short-term basis or sell it, Karen's vacation rental design and home staging services can help you achieve your goals.

At Downsizing Made Simple, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service and support to our clients. Whether you're a senior looking to transition into a new home or a homeowner seeking to monetize your property, we are here to help you every step of the way. Our commitment to comfort, wellness, and beauty ensures that you will find your perfect space, wherever it may be.
