McCarthy Stone made it an easy move and took care of all of the legal side. They also helped with the moving and selling, so we really didn’t have much to do. The apartments are nice and modern, so it really gave us a fresh start to do what we wanted. There were only a few of us to begin with, but we grew together and now have a great community here.
