    NAPO St. Louis March Program

    Strategically Planning Senior Living


    Many clients of Professional Organizers are seniors, or people making an effort to downsize their material footprint. Oftentimes that is in conjunction with ending a chapter of homeownership and creating a new chapter, whether that be purchasing a smaller home or moving to a facility that provides the appropriate care. We want to embolden NAPO Members to engage in helpful conversations around this topic while also providing the confidence to refer their clients to professionals that can bring client goals to reality. 


    Nathan Pfitzer of Pfitzer Realty Group will share insights for planning the downsizing and selling of the long-time family home. Jeff Balleau of Transitions for Senior Living will discuss ways his team help seniors identify where their next move should be based on their individual needs. 


    Learning Objectives:

    1. Understand how to streamline the downsizing process.

    2. Key actions & steps to take to maximize the profitability of the home sale. 

    3. Learn more about the abundant senior living options available in the St. Louis Metro Area.
