Relocation
Sheleana Harder
Relocating can be a daunting task. Make sure to have a checklist while planning your next move. Having a checklist will take away some of the stress and allow you to visualize the pros and cons of your relocation, assess your decision and find solutions to imperfections of your relocation. Before the big day, it is important to have all of your affairs in order. Use your list as a guideline for things you need to do, task you have completed and write down comments as you go.
The most common reasons for relocating today are business and pleasure. You may be transferring to a new job, sending your children to a new school, or want to be closer to family and friends. Whatever the reason take these points into consideration.
CONSIDER:
• Where will you relocate, what part of the city?
• If you have a timeline, are both you and your realtor aware?
• Change of address, don’t lose your mail, getter done bitch!
• What do you know about the city you are relocating too? (Crime rate, population, climate, etc.)
• Find a realtor who is knowledgeable about your new area, they will be able to tell you which areas are more desirable and have the qualities you seek in your next home in a new city.
• Think ahead: the more you have ready prior to your move the better, last minute hassles are the last things you need when you are in the middle or relocating.
• Book your moving company now. Don’t wait, this will cost you time and stress as moving companies book up fast and are nearly impossible to contract near the end of the month.
• Will you get moving insurance?
• How will you transport your pets?
Relocation can sometimes seem overwhelming, pace yourself and be organized. If you do not have connections in your new city, attempt to network with others before you arrive. This will relieve the feeling of being all alone in a new place. Otherwise, familiarize yourself once you get there, go for a walk around your neighbourhood, and take a drive through the city.
With your busy day to day schedule, relocation may be too time consuming for you to take on alone. Relocation companies are very helpful in these situations and can take care of virtually all the details of your move.
