Ray White Downsizing

A specialist who understands the whole move, not just the sale of the home.

Selling the family home is not just about the property.

It’s about everything that happened inside it — where the kids grew up, where the celebrations happened, where life unfolded for decades.

It’s not a transaction most families take lightly, and it shouldn’t be sold as one.

Selling on behalf of a parent or loved one

Many of our clients are adult children selling on behalf of a parent. We keep everyone in the loop and move at a pace that feels right for the family.

What makes us different

Selling the family home is one part of a much bigger move. Here's what changes when the agent understands the rest of it.

  • We have launched retirement villages, sold in them, and built the sales teams that run them. Very few agents have seen this move from the other side.

    It's why we understand where you're heading, whatever that looks like: a low-maintenance house, an apartment near the grandkids, a lifestyle community or a village.

  • We coordinate the sale around your purchase or move-in date, so you're not managing two timelines alone.

    That might mean lining settlement up with an off-the-plan completion, a townhouse purchase, or a move-in date at a village or aged care home, where we can deal directly with their sales team.

  • Most agents can recommend a conveyancer and a handyman. We offer more through a full network of people to support you. From decluttering and removals to solicitors and advisers who understand aged care and retirement.

    And if you're still weighing up where to go, we know the operators and the pockets of Brisbane people move to.

  • For a downsizer the sale price isn't just a number. It decides what you can comfortably afford next.

    A rushed or under-priced sale can put the move you want out of reach, so we treat the result as something to protect, with the full reach of Ray White behind it.

The Brisbane Ray White Downsizing team led by Kirralee Couch

The team behind every sale

Ray White Downsizing is led by Kirralee Couch, alongside Adam Downes, principal of Ray White Ashgrove and Indooroopilly.

Kirralee has spent 16 years on both sides of this move, across Brisbane residential sales and the retirement living industry, and has personally guided hundreds of downsizers and their families into their next home.

Behind her are two established Ray White offices, so you get a specialist who knows this move and a principal-led team behind the result.

  • "Doing this on my own felt daunting, but Kirralee never once rushed me, and she got a price well above what I’d hoped for. It made the whole move possible."

    — June, Toowong

  • We’d been putting it off for nearly two years before we met Kirralee. She took us through everything at our own pace, and made sure our daughters were involved when we wanted them there. We love where we are now, should’ve done it years ago!

    — Harold and Elsie, Indooroopilly
