selling, buying, moving, job..What do I do first?

selling, buying, moving, job..What do I do first?

by Nikki
(Colorado Springs, CO)

I own a home in Colorado but want to move to warmer climates maybe NC.

But what are the steps?

What comes first?

I am so confused.

I can't move without selling but also can't move without a job first.

I can't stay here anymore....

I get so confused about the whole situation that

I just go around in circles.

Please, Please, Please help.

Dear Nikki

Thanks for your inquiry.

First thing to do is to make a moving list and to write down everything that needs to be done before your move.

First I would map out all the states that are an option for your move. Then I will start searching for a job at those states. Some companies might ask that you fly in for an interview. This will give you a great opportunity to explore the city, research the real estate market, the social facilities, the healthcare etc?.

Only when you secured a job and are sure that this is the state where you want to move to, then you can continue with the relocation tasks like finding a place to live in the new state and thinking about what to do with your house.

You don?t need to sell your house right away. You can rent it and see how it goes in the new location. Only when you are sure that this is the place you want to live, then you can start thinking about selling your house and buying a new house.

It will also give you some time to find out where the good locations in the new state are, and where you would like to buy your new house.

Best of Luck
Sharon
