Downsizing is more than a move — it is a major life transition. Whether you are preparing to simplify, selling an inherited property, or managing a loved one’s estate, you need more than a listing agent. As a Bay of Quinte REALTOR® and Senior Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I provides experienced guidance for downsizing, estate home sales, and probate property transactions with clarity, strategy, and care.

You're Not Just Selling a House.

You're Managing a Major Life Transition.

Whether you're downsizing, helping aging parents, settling an estate, or simply preparing your home for the next chapter, you don't have to do it alone.

I provide far more than real estate services. My team and I help families sort, declutter, organize, stage, prepare and market their homes to make the entire process less stressful—and more successful.

See the Difference Preparation Makes

Working with Anette and her team at Downsizing in the Bay of Quinte and Exit Realty was an exceptional opportunity and experience. They helped declutter, clean, organize, and fully prepare our home - work that we never would be able to do ourselves. The transformation was incredible, and our property got sold for more than we excepted .
What was more outstanding and incredible that all the support from beginning to the end we got from Anette and her team. She's very knowledgeable, caring. Constantly were checking on us if we needed help and when we needed it she stepped in right away. She made the entire process stress free. We didn't gain just a relestate agent but more importantly we made a fantastic relationship in between us. 100% highly recommended and a million +++++ thumbs up. Thank you! -Agnes T.

Anette didn’t just sell my house for a great price—she helped me move forward with my life.”

After losing my wife, I wasn’t sure what to do next. I was planning to rent, but Anette helped me realize that buying a home made more sense financially—and personally. Thanks to her guidance, I found a place I truly love and saved a lot of money in the long run.

She’s incredibly hardworking, compassionate, and has a great team behind her. Her husband Mark was also a huge help—preparing the house, cleaning up after an ice storm, and addressing everything the home inspector flagged. Together, they’re a fantastic team, and I can’t recommend them enough. -Ted A.
