“Dealing with Downsizing” is an informative and interactive seminar addressing a key concern for seniors who are overwhelmed with the thought of moving. Those who attend usually leave the seminar energized with an “I can do it” attitude about their pending move.
Retirement communities have found this to be a great marketing event. It brings seniors to the community for the first time. More importantly, it brings seniors back to a community who have already taken a tour.
The seminar is presented by Andrew Androfff, co-owner of Professional Movers.com. He has presented numerous times to both professionals and seniors for groups from 20 to 500. Andrew has personally performed nearly 1000 senior moves, from hoarding clients to white-glove clients, Andrew fully understands the challenges seniors face.
