You need to relocate. These words are dreaded by almost every person, no matter where they are moving. Moving is stressful enough already, without the added discomfort of learning an entirely new location.
If you have children, the first item you will want to consider, is the school district in the area. Most people will actually base their move upon wherever the best school district is within relationship to the main reason they may be relocating, for instance a job or other career move. Researching the local entertainment and recreational facilities for your children can also help to narrow the home search area, as well as daycare facilities, elderly care or anything else you may need to have nearby. Remember also to have the measurements of your furniture handy so that when you look at new homes you can determine whether your present furniture will ‘fit’.
Find a realtor prior to your arrival who will be ready to assist you immediately. Obtain a list of local lenders from your real estate agent, also prior to arriving, so that you may obtain a pre-approval letter. Having a local lender will make things that much easier should there be an issue at the closing that needs to be addressed.
Do not pack important papers like birth certificates, marriage licenses, stocks, medical and school records or passports, keep them handy, as well as anything that you will need to register children for school. And finally, have a list of everyone you need to contact to either cancel or initiate necessary services, like telephone and electricity, handy in one place.
Being organized is only half the battled when you are in the process of relocating. It is always advisable to have a qualified real estate professional who can easily assist you with locating housing and many other important and varied details during the move.
