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.
We understand that downsizing and moving are not simply about transporting furniture. They are major life transitions that deserve careful planning, clear communication and practical support.

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.
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.
Whether you are moving house, downsizing, relocating to retirement living or aged care, clearing an estate or preparing a property for sale, we can help organise the next steps.
