If you have been reading this blog for a while, or even if you just started, it's obvious that there is a lot to take in regarding relocation. Some information, I'm sure, is more relevant to your situation than others.
I decided to write a series of summary articles on my ActiveRain blog regarding relocation to point buyers and sellers in the right direction during some of the key phases of the process.. the psychological stuff that you have to deal with, getting the home ready for sale, and so on.
My premise, having done this a bunch of times myself, is that relocation is NOT for dummies, and that you really need to have a good idea of what you are doing, and what to expect, in order to make it work. Hopefully these summaries will help you with the major points you probably need to address.
1. The first summary article, Relocation is NOT for Dummies (Part 1) on my ActiveRain blog, tackles some of the psychological and emotional issues that you may have to face - making the decision to move, emotions during the move, and more. Don't overlook this - this stuff happens and it can drive your crazy. And you can expect you WILL have a range of emotions during the process...perhaps some of them not so pleasant.
2. The second article, Relocation is NOT for Dummies (Part 2), addresses some of the issues sellers need to confront regarding selling their home - not everything, but the major highlights.
The next few articles are in process and I will link to them here. Or stop by my ActiveRain blog and read them as soon as they get posted.
If I can answer any specific questions that you have about relocating, please don;t hesitate to ask. it's likely others have the same questions, so I can address them here for everyone to read.
