Who We Are
At ReNested, we believe that every life transition deserves to be handled with care, dignity, and faith.
Founded with a heart for service and a deep understanding of senior transitions, ReNested is led by Shelia Owens, a compassionate professional with over a decade of experience working in senior communities. As a part-owner of a successful real estate team and a trusted guide for families navigating later-in-life moves, Shelia brings both industry expertise and personal commitment to every client’s journey.
We specialize in helping seniors—and the loved ones who support them—downsize, relocate, and “renest” into homes that reflect their current needs while honoring the past. From organizing and move management to hands-on support and emotional encouragement, our services are designed to simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming process.
ReNested is a faith-based company, rooted in the belief that transitions are not just logistical—they are spiritual moments of growth and grace. Our mission is to walk beside our clients with compassion, patience, and integrity, trusting God to lead the way as we help you or your loved one find peace in their next nest.
We’re not just here to move boxes—we’re here to help you move forward, with comfort and care.
How Can We Help?
Inital Discussions & Solutions
At ReNested, we understand that downsizing or relocating—especially after many years in one home—can feel overwhelming. That’s why our first step is always to listen. We want to understand your story, your needs, and your goals before offering any recommendations.
During our initial consultation, we’ll:
Learn about your current situation and what’s prompting the transition
Discuss your timeline, comfort level, and the type of support you’re looking for
Identify any immediate concerns or challenges
Offer practical, personalized options to help you move forward with confidence
After this conversation, we create a custom transition plan tailored just for you or your loved one. Whether you need full-service coordination, gentle organizing help, or simply someone to guide you through the process—we’ll meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.
Assessing What Stays & What Goes
Letting go of belongings can be one of the most emotional and challenging parts of any transition—especially when those items carry years of meaning and memories. We guide this process with care, clarity, and deep respect for your past and your future.
We start by learning about your new living space, including its layout and floorplan. By reviewing the dimensions and design of your next home, we can offer thoughtful suggestions on which furniture and belongings will comfortably fit—and which items might not serve you well in the new environment.
Here’s how we help:
Reviewing the destination floorplan to visualize room layouts and furniture placement
Room-by-room sorting to determine what’s essential, useful, or sentimental
Custom recommendations for what to bring, what to rehome, and how to repurpose items
Support with donations, sales, or gifting to lighten the load and honor the value of what stays behind
Coordination with movers or space planners to ensure a smooth fit in your new space
Our goal is to help you create a home that feels both familiar and functional—without clutter or overwhelm.
Real Estate
Your move isn’t just about transitioning spaces—it’s also about understanding the market, navigating the sale of your home, and finding the right next place to call home. That’s why ReNested is proud to be partnered with one of the most trusted and experienced real estate teams in Western North Carolina.
Our affiliated team has been serving the greater Asheville area for over 24 years and has been honored as “Best of Asheville” four years in a row—a reflection of the exceptional service and results we bring to every client.
We’re especially proud to have four Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES®) on the team, each trained to serve the unique needs of older adults and their families. From pricing and marketing your current home to exploring age-friendly housing options, we bring knowledge, patience, and sensitivity to every conversation.
Here’s what you can expect from our real estate support:
Expert guidance on preparing your home for sale
Accurate pricing based on decades of local market insight
A proven marketing strategy to attract serious buyers
Support with finding a right-sized home that matches your lifestyle
Seamless coordination between the sale of your current home and your next move
With ReNested, you don’t have to juggle multiple companies or feel overwhelmed by the process. We offer real estate and relocation solutions under one roof, with a team that knows how to make transitions smooth, respectful, and successful.
Let us help you take the next step—with confidence and care.
Packing, Moving, & More
Once the decisions have been made, it’s time to put the plan into action—and that’s where we really shine.
At ReNested, we oversee the packing and moving process so you don’t have to worry about the details. Whether you’re moving to a smaller home, a senior living community, or simply relocating for a fresh start, our team is here to make sure the experience smooth, respectful, and stress-free.
We coordinate all the logistics so you don’t have to, including:
Professional packing with care for both fragile and sentimental items
Labeling and organizing to ensure a seamless unpacking experience
Scheduling and coordinating trusted movers on your behalf
Being on-site on moving day to oversee and troubleshoot as needed
Unpacking and settling in—we’ll help you feel at home, not just moved in
Need extra help? We also assist with things like utility transfers, donation pickups, and setting up key living areas—so your new home feels safe, functional, and familiar from day one.
This isn’t just a move—it’s a meaningful transition. And we’re here to handle the heavy lifting, both literally and figuratively, so you can focus on what matters most.
