Adam Mills is a returning guest to the CleanBreak podcast. He joins hosts Daren Givoque and Tina Murray to discuss what it means to "rightsize" your life. Adam is a Realtor with Royal LePage Team Realty, Adam Mills Brokerage, and is often helping older clients find their next chapter in their story. Oftentimes clients are unsure what they want but know they need a change, and open discussion about expectations surrounding downsizing/rightsizing are vital to make sure that all parties involved are in alignment and will be satisfied with the outcome.  There are many reasons why a person or couple may need to downsize, or rightsize, their lives and living arrangements and Adam works with his clients to understand the "why" behind those reasons; by going deeper and understanding their stories, he is able to assist them in finding the right fit for them and their needs.
