Aging in the Right Place is all about Choice

September 26, 2017 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

As a downsizing coach, I have the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families throughout the relocation process. I often ‘geek out’ reading the hundreds of studies and articles dedicated to the topic of late-life moves and what makes them successful or stressful. And as a veteran real estate broker, I frequently witness both […]

Adjusting to Life After a Move

July 12, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

  We get it, we really do. One of the chief reasons people shy away from a post-retirement move is the fear that life will change dramatically. And the truth is that, yes, it will. But contrary to what that little voice inside your head (or that of your loved one) says, downsizing and making […]

Happy Interdependence Day

July 5, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

No. I didn’t misspell the title of the post. But thank you for noticing. In fact, now that you’re here, go ahead and scan the rest of it and see if you can find anything else that causes you to do a double-take! The word “independence” has been on my mind a lot lately. The seed […]

Sorting Through a Lifetime of Possessions: Organizing All That Stuff

February 23, 2016 by Nikki Buckelew Leave a Comment

Anyone who has ever moved from one spot to another can attest to one thing: It’s astounding how much stuff we actually have and how well it is hidden! When one makes the decision to sell a longtime family home and downsize to a more manageable living space, this little fact of life becomes amazingly […]

Tornado Drills and Longterm Housing Plans: A part of growing up and older

May 11, 2015 by Nikki Buckelew 1 Comment

I always find it interesting when one of our elder clients says they have never even thought about where they would live if they couldn’t live in their own home anymore. Having been raised in Oklahoma, as students, we were always subjected to the mandatory “tornado drill” exercise to insure we all knew where to […]

Excellent move management services
October 4, 2017

There was good communication and customer service, and excellent move management services. I particularly appreciated and what most valuable to us, was having someone help us decide what to take with us and what to leave behind. I feel that having the move all coordinated and not having to do things separately was very helpful. Continue Reading

Took away my stress
October 4, 2017

It was a very good experience overall and I would definitely recommend OKC Mature Moves because they were a big help and took away alot of the stress both physical and mental of moving. The move manager was there through the whole process and that made me feel good, as my kids could not be Continue Reading

Thank you for caring
December 10, 2014

I want to thank you for the incredibly caring way you do business. You and your staff allowed me and my sister to go back to our homes secure in the knowledge that Mom was in the best hands...and with people who were looking out for her best interest, comfort and security. You should be proud of the service you perform. We certainly are! Thank you again, in advance, for easing Mom's transition. Continue Reading

Downsizing support
August 8, 2016

The hardest part of the move for me was the downsizing -- the easiest part was the move itself. When friends or family would ask if I needed help, my reply was that Nikki and Chris had it covered. No one, especially friends who had moved recently, could believe how non-stressed I was and how smooth the move went. My move manager was there the last two days to make sure all would go smoothly on moving day. Continue Reading
