Preparing to Downsize: How to Plan for Your Special Possessions

Join Carrie Pinney of Cowan’s Auctions and Jennifer Souers Chevraux of Illumine Creative Solutions as they provide you with guidance on planning for a future downsize. They will cover how to evaluate your possessions to help you decide what to keep and how to plan and care for what you’re holding onto and how to find homes for what you’re not.
