moving to beaverton oregon: Moving to Beaverton Oregon? Should you hire a moving company… Well NO! - 05/11/09 04:04 PM

If you are thinking about moving to Beaverton, Oregon, or any where for that matter, if I think you should hire a moving company, my answer will, 90% of the time, be a big no! They charge a lot and they tend to arrive late with your stuff and your bill always seems to be larger than you agreed to.
But, that doesn’t mean I think you should do it alone. You don’t need a backache that will keep you out of work for the next six weeks… that won’t help any move be non-stressful!
Here is what I suggest to my clients moving … (17 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: The Hart Neighborhood of Beaverton, Oregon (Finding a neighborhood to call home) - 05/05/09 10:02 AM
One of the problems in moving to a new area is that you don’t know a thing about the area and the neighborhoods before you relocate. I think it is important if you are relocating to Beaverton, Oregon, to find out as much as you can. Finding out about the Hart neighborhood before you actually live there certainly isn’t something that is easy to do. But, hopefully, this neighborhood guide will help you to find a neighborhood to call home. 
The Hart Neighborhood of Beaverton, Oregon, is a good mix of new and older homes, but most were built in the … (4 comments)

So, you have found yourself having to move to a completely new city and you put Beaverton Oregon, on that short list of cities that you want to relocate to. Moving to Beaverton Oregon can be a very pleasant experience, but it can also be heartbreaking if you don’t take precautions.
Many people wanting to relocate to Beaverton, Oregon, decide that it is best to rent before they buy, just so they can find out more about the area and the neighborhoods. I have to agree. This is a good idea, but how do you know who to trust when finding a good … (19 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Please call before relocating to Beaverton Oregon, I want your relocation to succeed! - 03/28/09 06:27 PM
 
Twice now in the past year I’ve have seen the heart break of a potential client moving to Beaverton Oregon. They move here without actually investigating Beaverton and the surrounding areas of Tigard, Portland and Hillsboro where homes can still be rather expensive.
Now, home prices have dropped in Oregon just as they have in other places around the country, but what people are finding out as they move from a place where they can buy a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home for under $100,000, that the same home here is over $250,000. It is just heartbreaking when they find out that they … (12 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Beaverton Oregon Relocation: Where can we take our pets? - 02/22/09 02:36 PM

One of the biggest questions I get by families relocating to Beaverton, Oregon, who have dogs is, “Todd, where can we take our pets? Our temporary apartment (or hotel) won’t allow pets.”

Well, until a couple weeks ago, I didn’t really have any good answers for that question. I didn’t have anyone I knew speak highly of a place until one client, who was moving to Beaverton, Oregon from California, needed to have a place to keep her little dog Ginger.
Ginger was a small dog, and she was her family. The place she was staying while looking for … (15 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Moving cross town or cross country, help your kids deal with it (Beaverton Oregon Relocation) - 03/23/08 04:33 PM
One of the biggest concerns for kids when it comes to relocating across town or cross country is that they will have to make new friends and will never be able to talk to their current friends again.
One thing to consider to help your kids before you move is to enroll them in Boy Scouts / Girls Scouts before you move, and while visiting the new city or area, take them to the new troop so they can start to make friends before the move. That will help with their anxiety of the move if they have already started to make … (6 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Oranges in the Kitchen, Bananas go to the bedroom and um… and Coconuts to the living room - 03/23/08 03:41 AM
Have you ever had to relocate or even move across town, and had to go buy boxes at the local u-haul for $3.00 a box? This can get real expensive real quick and I admit I move myself about every two years now and one of the secrets I've learned to save money is to make real good friends with my local produce manager!
You see, every couple days the produce department gets new boxes of fruit and then they recycle the boxes so they can make room for more boxes of fruit to come in. But, if you talk to the … (15 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: New State, New Job = No bank financing (What?) - 03/02/08 02:39 AM
 
If you are thinking about moving to a new area for a new career, have you thought about the possibility that when you get there, and try to go get a loan on a new home, that the bank will say "No!"?
Why would the bank do this? The banks like to see a down payment, good credit and a good job history, and if you are changing fields, even if you make more money, the bank still may say "No!"
This is where someone like myself may be able to help! I specialize in lease options and owner financing and both are … (7 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Don’t forget your pets when relocating - 01/26/08 02:08 AM
I know it may sound strange, but more pets are lost during a move than at any other time. They get used to their home, just as you do. But, they feel stress and may feel the need to run away and try to get back home. They don't realize that you have moved, they want to get back to what they know.
So, before you move, please put a microchip in your pets and tell the new owner of your home where you are moving to, just in case Fido escapes and tries to go back home or what he or … (9 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: Where in the heck is my spatula? (Moving Hint) - 01/14/08 06:13 PM
AHHHHHH! It has come to that time again, where I just have to break down cry and spend another $4.99 on a new spatula. I know it seems insignificant, but it is just another thing in a long list of things that I have had to re-buy recently.
Because there are moving boxes that I have yet to unpack, because the investment property is half the size of our old place, we have had to keep certain boxes in storage. The only problem is the boxes I bring home labeled kitchen supplies has books and CD's in it or my one labeled … (10 comments)

Are you considering moving to Washington County, Oregon? Moving can be a stressful and very expensive venture, but there are ways to save money and today I'm going to give you a few ideas.
Money saving tip #1 - Instead of buying boxes from your local u-haul consider going to your local Target or Walmart and ask for them to save you some of their boxes. They have to pay to have these boxes crushed and recycled and will more than likely give them to you for free!
 
Money saving tip #2 - Instead of hiring a moving company to drive your stuff … (5 comments)

moving to beaverton oregon: How a relocation can change your outlook on real estate - 08/20/07 02:55 AM
We keep hearing how bad real estate is in certain parts of the country and how prices keep dropping. Did you know financial freedom could be as close as a relocation for some? I have people that are moving to Portland from both Seattle and California all of the time and they couldn't be happier with the real estate market.
Why, may you ask? In Seattle, in some areas of the city, prices are twice what they are here in Portland, and in California the price may be as much as 4 times the price of a home here. So what these … (8 comments)
