Why did you decide to sell?
We decided that life was more than being tied to a larger home and all the work that came along with it. We want to be able to travel, spend more time with our grandchildren, and pursue our hobbies.
Why Angelina Fox-Smith & Company?
What we were looking for when we sold our home and moved was a real estate team that made our transition very smooth. I have known Angie and Jennifer for years and had a lot of confidence in both of them. They are beyond great! I am very proud to call them friends!
What were you looking for in your new home?
We were looking for a home with a first-floor master bedroom and a smaller amount of space to take care of. We love our porches! We have a large front porch and a wonderful screened-in back porch. We both feel like we live in Mayberry when we sit on the front porch and see our neighbors pass by?
Best part of your new community?
We love this community! We have a clubhouse and pool which was wonderful to use this year. We have met a lot of new people and just feel much more relaxed in our new surroundings.
Shields Top Selling Tip:
When you are downsizing, realize that will have to purge things. It was a wonderful feeling to get rid of stuff to make our lives simpler. It is funny that we don’t even miss the stuff we have gotten rid of. It was a very freeing feeling.
"So many days when we both get up in the morning we say to each other that we feel like . . .
we are on vacation!
It is a great way to start a new chapter in our lives!"
