The pacing is different too. A downsizing agent expects the sorting and preparation phase to take longer than a typical sale, sometimes 4 weeks or more, and builds the listing date around that reality instead of pushing a senior to list before they are ready.
Coordination matters more here than in a standard sale, since the sale of the current home and the purchase of the next one, whether a condo, a smaller house or a move to be near family, usually need to line up within the same window.
