Downsizing in Fries

Moving to less house, at your pace, with a nurse's understanding of this season of life.

Your next move, at your pace

Downsizing in Fries can mean selling a larger home in the county for a smaller place in town, or leaving Fries to be closer to family or to Galax. Either way, it's often about more than a house. I spent years as a registered nurse and case manager, so I understand this season of life. We'll plan the sale and the next home together, with attention to accessibility, at a pace that works for you. More is on downsizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy my next home before I sell?

Sometimes. It depends on your finances and your lender. We'll work out the order with your numbers before you start.
