Downsizing, Della prefers to call it Right-Sizing! There is nothing “down” to it!

She has been in your shoes on more than one occasion. She got divorced in 2006 and walked away from a mansion on an estate in a prestigious historic neighborhood. It was 6,600 square feet of living area with 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens (her degree from LSU included a minor in horticulture and soil science).

She moved into a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse that she renovated with luxury finishes before moving in. She kept most of her precious art, wines, artful earrings, and extensive shoe collection, and little else! But she was happy to be free of the steep mortgage note and upkeep that comes with an old house and landscaped grounds. She had to keep up appearances in the case of a historic home, as folks seemed to expect that. She doesn’t miss that! Whew! It was exhausting!

Are you ready to free up some of your heart, mind, and financial burdens that can come with a home that doesn’t fit your lifestyle anymore? Are you wanting to make some of those lifestyle changes, but your home is holding you back? Are the kiddos all gone, and you want just enough space for company to visit occasionally? Do you have better things to do than maintain a high-end homeplace? You want to move to a place that feeds your soul differently than the home you are in? Della understands! She has personally bought and sold over 35 houses in her lifetime. Every one of them took creative negotiating and financing. It was never conventional or run-of-the-mill for her. She understands!

Do you want to sell your current home in order to buy your “Right-Sized Home”? Or do you want to keep it as an investment? Or do you want to buy with the finances you have at hand and then sell once you are all moved? As you can see, there are so many questions that need to be asked and answered in order for you to maximize your treasure and peace of mind.

Let Della help you navigate these pathways to find which suits you and yours the best. She has the experience, wisdom, and expertise to do it. She will implement her award-winning marketing plan to your advantage!

As it turned out, she moved six times after her divorce. Each time is a story in and of itself! She kept finding better ways in which to live, and she ultimately got married again and moved to Northeast Florida.

She now lives in an 1890s farmhouse on acreage in Green Cove Springs. Furthermore, she was able to pay cash for the home and use cash to restore it due to the wise and skillful moves she made after leaving that expensive mansion! Let her help you and yours do the same! She’s right-sized herself into her forever home, and she can help you do the same. Now she will be able to age in place! The feeling of security is almost priceless!

She recently helped a couple sell their high-maintenance house for $6,000 over the asking price in a shifting market. They kept wanting to reduce the price, but she got them to let her have time to market the home and to always keep their eyes on the prize! Then she found them a lake house in Keystone Heights. It was out of their budget at its original asking price of $437,500. She asked them to be brave, let her advocate for them, and hang on while she negotiated. They got their dream house for $365,000! They are so happy! They will be able to age in place and live the lake house lifestyle!
