Buying a home in Galax
A home you understand before you buy it: the house, the land, and how you'll live there.
Buying a home in Galax: what to know first
Buying a home in Galax starts with one question most buyers don't think to ask: is it inside the city or not? Galax is an independent city surrounded by Carroll and Grayson counties, and a Galax address can sit on either side of the line. That changes which schools serve the home, whose taxes you pay, and whether you're likely to be on public water and sewer or a well and septic.

Why Galax buyers work with me
Galax is home ground for me, and I make sure you know how you'll live in a place, not only what you're buying. We'll talk about the drive to work and to Twin County Regional Healthcare, how close you are to downtown and the New River Trail, and what the roads are like in winter.
My fix-and-flip experience has helped me identify problem houses, and I'll tell you what I see on every house you're serious about. I always recommend a professional licensed home inspection, too.
How buying in Galax works
You'll sign a buyer agreement with Avante Realty Group, get pre-approved, and then we'll tour homes that fit your list. When you find the one, we write an offer, get through the inspection period and the appraisal, and close with the attorney or settlement company you choose. Each step is on how buying works.
