Buying a home in Fries
A home you understand before you buy it: the house, the land, and how you'll live there.
What to know before you buy
Buying a home in Fries usually means an older home: many are row houses from the mill-town days, some with river views. Older homes deserve a careful look, so I always recommend a professional licensed home inspection, and I'll tell you what I see with an investor's eye. On any home near the New River, we'll check the flood zone and get a flood insurance quote early. Whether you'll live here full time or use it as a vacation home, we'll talk about how you'll use it before we look. The full process is on how buying works.
