About Us
“Craig Robinson at Time To Downsize has the experience, expertise and network of contacts to make your transition stress-free.”
My expertise includes
-
Financial planning expertise
With a Master of Finance degree I have worked as a financial planner, advising retirees on superannuation and transitioning strategies as well as estate planning.
-
Buyer’s agent
There are so many new over-55s complexes and retirement villages in The Hills, it’s vital to stay connected. I use my network of contacts and real estate buyer’s agent expertise to help find the right home for you.
-
Vendor advocate
All real estate agents aren’t equal. I help cut through the deluge of information, interview real estate agents and ensure we choose the one who has a proven track record of achieving a faster sale at the optimum price.
-
Government entitlements
How you manage your pension, superannuation, and any government entitlements will make a huge difference to your lifestyle. I understand how to navigate the paperwork so you can live a richer life.
-
Aged care and emergencies
As an Aged Care Accredited specialist, I can help with everything from standard placement to urgent placement needed after an illness or injury.
-
Deceased estate management
Managing a deceased estate whilst dealing with grief is challenging. I’ve handled probate and home sales many times and can make the process stress-free.
With Craig by your side you’ll get the understanding and support you need to create a retirement plan that offers a richer life.
Time To Downsize will help you
With planning and strategies to establish financial security into your twilight years.
Sell or rent your family home, buy into a retirement village or over-55s complex.
Check your eligibility for government support via Centrelink or Dept. Of Veterans’ Affairs.
Preparing to transition to retirement or aged care can be a challenging and stressful undertaking. You might prefer home help and be unsure how to get it.
Don’t feel you need to do this on your own. I’ll ensure you are financially and emotionally prepared for this next phase of life with the experience, contacts and information you need to get there faster.
What can you expect from me as your adviser?
A suitable strategy
Time To Downsize provides effective strategies for your retirement plans, including maximising government funds and exploring existing financial arrangements while creating the best financial strategy for you. I’ll also walk you through your options for keeping your family home.
One point of contact
Whether you’ve decided to move to an over 55s community or retirement village or your health dictates a move to aged care, I can help. I wear many hats and liase on your behalf with other professionals so you only have to deal with one person – and that is me.
Peace of mind
Once we establish your needs, financial situation and lifestyle goals, I can help you choose the type of village or aged care accommodation that will suit you best. If we determine that home help is your best option, I can help organise the assessment and other paperwork.
I’ll help simplify your transition from living in the family home to moving to a retirement village or aged care facility. Selling your home? No problem. We can be your advocate. Buying into a village? We have the contacts to ensure you get into the village of your choice sooner.
