According to a report by the Census Bureau this summer, Texas has twelve of the top 50 "Fastest Growing Cities in the U.S." McKinney (#2), Denton (#9) and Ft. Worth (#11) are right here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. This is fantastic news for our area. We are looking forward to welcoming the new transferees to the Metroplex.
Over the past twenty-five years, I have worked numerous families in various aspects of relocation (both domestic and international). Relocation can be one of the most stressful times in a person's life. There are so many details that need to be done and so many people involved (i.e. movers, realtors, lenders) that it can be overwhelming. One key in not getting overwhelmed is to find someone who understands the process and will take the time to explain everything involved. During a relocation, the last think you want to do is make an unwise decision because you were stressed out and not thinking clearly.
When I work with a relocating family, I listen carefully to what their wants/needs/goals are and put a detailed plan together that helps meet those goals. They may have a family member with special needs so I will help them find resources at their new location that meet these needs. They may have a pet that they need to relocate so I put them in touch with a pet relocation company or provide information on airline guidelines for transporting pets. Maybe it is an elderly parent that they need to relocate with their family (I personally had to relocate my Mother a few years ago to live with us). These are just a few examples of how I work with my clients to make the transition to a new city easier.
I have also worked with several companies (large and small) helping with their relocation policies/procedures. Sometimes a company just needs help finding a rental for an employee which I will gladly arrange for them.
Relocating to a new area can be exciting, adventurous and very scary all at the same time. To make the transition as smooth as possible, try to work with professionals that have experience and understand the process.
