Step 1 - Why Move?

Why move to Asheville? Why move at all? Well, you really like Asheville, or at least you think you do. Maybe you haven’t been to Asheville, but it sounds so wonderful. I know exactly what you mean! I was ready to drop everything and move here when I heard about it.

For me, I was in mid-life and considering all that had gone before and thinking about all yet to be in my life. Why Asheville was the best place to move wasn’t something I carefully figured out. It just was.

Life is just too short to settle for less. If you can live the lifestyle you want, do it!

You don’t have to be a millionaire...

...You can live a simple life. You don’t even have to buy a home; you can rent, if you must. Moving to Asheville is just something some of us have to do, even if it means moving out of state.

But the real purpose of this step is to get it down in black and white – why do YOU want to move to Asheville? Why Asheville?
