Ever since the pandemic, relocation seems to be on the forefront of people’s minds. With many companies and organizations allowing “work-from-home” and “remote” options, places that were once an unattainable dream in which to live, have suddenly become hotter than ever!
As a licensed Realtor in two states – New York and South Carolina – my team and I work with many folks who are coming into or out of our areas very frequently. In fact, relocation makes up at least 60% of our business overall!
One of the biggest questions we get regarding relocation concerns logistics and how to begin the process. Our #1 answer is this: Before you do anything, contact an experienced Realtor who can advise you!
As Realtors, we can start by giving you an assessment of what your current home is worth, that way you might have a better idea of what you want to spend in the market in which you are headed.
We can also give you advice on how to prep that home for sale. Our team provides a list of companies who can assist you with preparing to make a move. We have trusted resources who can ORGANIZE/DECLUTTER, STAGERS, MOVERS, PACKERS, PAINTERS, GARDENERS, FLOORING CONTRACTORS, HANDYMAN SERVICES, HVAC COMPANIES, EVEN PEOPLE WHO WILL HELP SELL YOUR ITEMS ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE TOO…PLUS many, many more! Our list is comprised of contractors that we or our clients have personally used for services so you can rest assured that they are true professionals!
Once we make a plan with you for your current home, we can help connect you with one of our colleagues in the market that you are headed. As part of the RE/MAX International brand, we have connections across the US and all around the world. Let us vet your next Realtor to make sure that they will be the perfect fit for you and that your goals are aligned. We will work in tandem with that agent to ensure a smooth transition from our market to theirs in order to make the process as seamless as possible for you.
As someone who has relocated cross country myself, I understand how many things need to fall into place. Let us guide you in your next move either into or out of Rochester, NY. We are here to get you there!
Cheers,
Amy
