At Gray Fox Realty, we take pride in helping our clients navigate major life transitions with ease. Today, we're thrilled to share the heartwarming success story of a couple who decided to downsize and set up their retirement plan while staying close to their son in Franklin. Referred to us by a client from a decade ago, we assisted them in selling their beloved home and finding the perfect downsized property. With our expert guidance, meticulous planning, and the benefit of our flat fee service, this couple achieved their goals and saved an impressive $26,505 in commissions. Join us as we delve into the details of their seamless journey.



Receiving a referral from a satisfied client is always a testament to the quality of service we provide at Gray Fox Realty. This particular referral came from a client we assisted nearly a decade ago. Eager to help their old neighbors sell their home and embark on their retirement plans, we arranged a meeting with the couple. Understanding their desire to stay close to their son, we explored their options and concluded that selling their current home was the best path forward.


One of the advantages of working with this couple was the stunning beauty of their home. Recognizing its appeal, our team focused on merchandising the property correctly to attract potential buyers. With a few strategic touches, we highlighted the home's best features, ensuring it made a lasting impression on potential buyers.



As we listed their home, we began exploring downsized properties in the desired area near their son. Our goal was to synchronize the sale of their current home with the purchase of their new residence. This allowed us to streamline the process and make the transition as smooth as possible.



Our meticulous planning paid off, as we successfully negotiated a full list price for their home. This not only maximized their returns but also aligned perfectly with their retirement plans. Furthermore, our flat fee service saved them an impressive $26,505 in commissions, compared to a traditional 6% listing agreement. The financial savings were an added bonus that further enhanced their retirement plan.



At Gray Fox Realty, we understand the importance of seamless transactions. Our transaction team worked diligently to keep everything on track, managing dates and loans with precision. Their expertise ensured a smooth transition, allowing the sellers to focus on their retirement dreams.



The joy on the sellers' faces says it all! Not only did they achieve a successful sale and save on commissions, but they also found their perfect downsized home in close proximity to their son. This ideal location allowed them to strengthen family bonds while embarking on their retirement journey.



The success story of this downsizing couple demonstrates the power of strategic planning, exceptional service, and the financial advantages of Gray Fox Realty's flat fee model. We are proud to have helped this couple seamlessly transition into their retirement years while staying close to their loved ones. If you're considering a significant life transition, trust Gray Fox Realty to provide the expertise and support you need to make your dreams a reality
