Do I Move?
Do I Move? Ltd. is New Zealand's leading consultancy for seniors and their families seeking comprehensive advice about moving to a retirement village or other accommodation. A deliberate and well-informed approach is essential when considering entering the real estate market and making a life-altering move. Do I Move offers individual and group information sessions to older clients considering a downsizing move. This often involves leaving behind a lifetime of living in a much-loved family home. Good support and preparation is central to decision-making which avoids the possibility of regret at a future date.
