For many Australians approaching retirement, the thought of downsizing or moving to a retirement village can feel overwhelming. With so many options, legal considerations, and practical steps to take, it’s no wonder people put off making a decision. But what if planning your retirement could be simpler, clearer, and even exciting?
A free upcoming information session on Wednesday 26 February aims to do just that—help demystify the process of retirement living and provide practical, expert advice to those considering their next steps. Hosted at Rivervue Retirement Village, 25 Bellavista Drive in Avondale Heights, the session will bring together specialists in downsizing, real estate, and property law to answer the common (and not-so-common) questions many people have about transitioning to a new lifestyle.
Among the speakers is Annette Simpson-Rial from Classic Moves, a relocation specialist who understands that downsizing is about more than just packing boxes—it’s about letting go of the unnecessary while keeping what matters most. She will share her insights on decluttering and moving with ease.
Property law expert Julian Vagg from Oakley Thompson & Co Lawyers will offer guidance on the legal side of purchasing in a retirement village, ensuring attendees understand their rights and feel confident about making informed decisions.
For those considering selling their home, local real estate specialist Basil Zoccali from Harcourts Vision will provide valuable tips on preparing a property for sale and navigating the current market.
Beyond the expert advice, attendees will have the chance to experience what premium retirement living looks like, with guided tours of Rivervue’s community centre and resort-style facilities, as well as a chance to meet residents over a complimentary morning tea.
For anyone thinking about the next phase of their life, this session offers a rare opportunity to ask questions, get real answers, and start planning a future that feels right.
The event is free, but places are limited. RSVPs are required by February 23, call 1300 298 439 to secure your seat.
