Let Florida RELO Group help you move.
Start your beach life!
Whatever your reason, in a move timing is EVERYTHING! This requires an experienced Realtor to help with the total plan.
Families who relocate have so many pieces of the puzzle to put together in a short period of time, and an experienced Realtor has learned a great deal about relocation from the many families that they have helped over the years. Accurate market information is also critical to the success of the move, as well as introductions to experts in the destination city so that they can work in unison to time closings and move out and move in.
Decisions and Deadlines
Regardless of why you are relocating, there are many time-sensitive decisions to make and deadlines to hit that require careful consideration and planning. Almost everyone underestimates the time needed and the associated expenses of a move.
Destination City
Multiple decisions must be made long distance in a short amount of time regarding the destination city, including:
Which Realtor should I hire to represent me in the purchase of a new home?
What is the cost of living and housing cost?
What part of town do I want to live in?
After you have decided on the first basic need according to Maslow’s Law (shelter), then you're ready to make the other big decisions. You will need to choose new doctors and coordinate forwarding medical records, transfer driver's licenses, auto registration, register for schools, and make deposits for utility companies, all while learning your way around the new town. You will likely feel lost and unsure of your decisions. All of this is being done while missing friends worrying about your children adjusting, and dealing with anxiety over making new friends or acclimating to new job. Having a great realtor on your side that know's the lay of the land can really be a great help to see you through your transition.
Financial Cost of A Move
Many people underestimate the cost of a relocation. The actual move cost is based upon pounds loaded on the truck and miles. A good place to begin in reducing the cost is to get rid of stuff you no longer want or need to reduce moving expenses. There are some charities that pick up unwanted items for tax donations, too.
Fear of The Unknown
Getting orientated to a new city can be fun and exciting as you try new restaurants and activities but, getting lost, finding new doctors, dentists and starting new schools with anxious children is not fun at all. With time you will settle in and be comfortable again. Our Team helps buyers relocating to Florida by giving them a referral package of places and people we recommend in the area. If you're relocating out of our area, we can find a Realtor to represent you who will offer this same type of service to help you easily adjust to your new destination.
Departing City
Decisions in regards to your departing city typically include:
Which Realtor should I hire to represent me?
How much can I sell my home for?
What will I net from the sale in order to buy a new one?
How long will it take to sell?
How fast can it go on the market?
Should it be shown vacant or with furniture?
What should I budget to prepare my home for sale?
What if it does not sell on time?
Can I financially carry this home plus my living expenses in the new area at the same time? If the answer is yes, then for how long?
How am I going to time all of this move?
An expert Realtor with years of experience can really help ease the stress by helping you to plan, execute, and know what you don’t know. The departing city Realtor also works closely with the destination city Realtor to coordinate the details that must be timed together. Details such as closing date, move out and move in dates, transfer of funds from the sale to the purchase, are all things your Realtors are trained to help you with.
We also coordinate the entire closing on this end and do everything in advance so that our relocating sellers can get on the road earlier to help ease the stress of the drive and time- sensitive tasks on the other end.
