Downsizing Into Happiness

How Downsizing and Retirement Living Can Brighten Your Life

After helping hundreds of older Australians and their families relocate over nearly 20 years, Dan Salamati wrote this practical guide to make downsizing simpler, calmer and more rewarding.

It is written for people planning their own move, families supporting ageing parents, and professionals assisting retirement and aged care transitions.

How It Works

A Clear Plan From the First Visit to the Final Box

Every move is different, so we begin with a free in-home consultation and create a practical plan around your timing, belongings, destination, floor plan and family needs. We identify what will be kept, moved, sold, donated, stored or disposed of, then coordinate the packing, transport and unpacking. This structured approach gives seniors and families one clear point of contact and helps prevent last-minute stress, unnecessary costs and too many belongings arriving at the new home.

Free In-Home Consultation

We assess the property, discuss your priorities and prepare a clear plan and quote.

Declutter and Organise

We coordinate auction items, charity donations, family deliveries, storage and disposal.

Pack and Move

Your belongings are packed carefully, transported safely and placed in the correct rooms.

Unpack and Settle In

We unpack, arrange furniture and help make the new home comfortable and ready to live in.

Experience and Guidance

Support Built on Nearly 20 Years of Real Moves

Downsize and Move was founded by Dan Salamati after many years working directly with individuals and families across Sydney.

That experience has shaped a service focused on planning, patience, respectful communication and practical solutions—not simply loading a truck.

Dan is also the author of Downsizing Into Happiness, a practical guide to downsizing, retirement living and creating a more manageable next chapter.

Our Philosophy

A Successful Move Should Feel Organised, Not Overwhelming

“The best result is not just an empty old home or a full moving truck. It is seeing the client comfortable, organised and confident in the new home.”
More Than Removalists

Support for the Belongings That Are Not Moving

A successful relocation often involves many items that will not be going directly to the new home. We help create a practical destination for each category of belongings.

Suitable items may be directed to family, auction, charity, storage, recycling or responsible disposal. We can also coordinate cleaning, gardening, repairs and property preparation after the home has been cleared.

Additional Support Can Include

  • Auction assessment and delivery
  • Charity sorting and transport
  • Short-term and long-term storage
  • Rubbish and unwanted-goods removal
  • Cleaning, gardening and minor maintenance
  • Secure document shredding
  • Preparation for sale, settlement or handover
