Born and raised in Reston and now a resident of Loudoun County, I began my career as a Realtor after nearly two decades of teaching. Assisting friends and fellow community members on their real estate journeys, I quickly drew parallels from my experience in the classroom. I offer clients the same care and attention I have provided to students and their families in Northern Virginia since 2001.

I am one of two Certified Senior Housing Professionals (CSHPs) in Virginia. CHSPs provide support, guidance, and solutions for homeowners and/or their families as they navigate the process of parting with a long-held home. Using the five steps of the Downsizing Made Easy system, I help clients:

• explore living options and create a customized plan
• communicate goals and wishes to others
• collaborate with other vetted professionals to execute the plan
• tend to a house full of possessions
• and celebrate the progress!

Serving buyers and sellers from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty’s Ashburn office, I am an educator, advocate, and REALTOR®… in that order.

Downsizing Made Easy

As the population ages, more and more senior citizens and their caregiver families are faced with the challenges of “downsizing.” A late life move away from the family home can be overwhelming, particularly if moving to a small apartment or retirement community. 

This seminar was developed to help navigate the transition.  You'll gain valuable insights into today's real estate market, practical solutions for de-cluttering and preparing your home for sale, best practices for hiring estate liquidators, movers, organizers and more.

If you are considering a move now or in the future, you owe it to yourself to be prepared. To find out when and where this seminar it being offered in Northern Virginia, contact us at Rachel@AskRachelCheng.com, use the REGISTRATION PAGE.
