RELOCATIONS
Planning a relocation to Southern California and considering Orange County? This website is designed for you – and I am here to be of assistance. I hope to become your Relocation Consultant.
I specialize in providing in depth information on Newport Beach and the surrounding areas in the Cities of Costa Mesa and Irvine but can help you in other areas as well. Much of the information you find on this site applies to the culture, economy and lifestyle of Orange County.
Selecting a community and finding the right neighborhood and home is a big decision, especially when the location is unknown and limited time is available. A poor decision can be financially devastating and dissatisfaction with a neighborhood can occur when you had limited choices and focused only on a home. In addition, searching locally on your own, during the home finding process can be both frustrating and costly. A search can last as long as two weeks and cost well in excess of $500 per day plus travel costs.
A relocation consultant is a person who provides assistance when you are planning a move to a new community. I can help you at every step of a move, from providing advice at the start to helping you “personalize” your home after the purchase.
I am a Buyer’s Broker that works exclusively with buyers. I help buyer’s understand the Orange County and Newport Beach housing market, help them chose among neighborhoods and find a house which meets their needs. I work with you on a personal level, considering the academic needs of any children, the type of neighborhood you prefer, and proximity to the types of services use regularly, and then factor these criteria into a decision to recommend locations. The goal is simple; to help you find the perfect match between Home, Neighborhood and Lifestyle. To not only help you find a home, but also ensure that the move goes smoothly and as pleasantly as possible for everyone.
Q:How do you differ from a relocation consultant supplied by my employer?
One of the most common reasons to use a relocation consultant is because of a move for work. If you work for large companies you may receive a relocation consultant as part of your compensation package. In this instance, the employer recognizes that the employee is being asked to move for work, and thus that the move should be made as painless as possible. In other cases, people may hire a consultant on their own because they are not able to deal with the move independently.
A Relocation Consultant provided by your employer will select a local real estate agent. They can't cover every market and know expertise in the local real estate market is of utmost importance for a satisfactory relocation.You can influence this process. I work exclusively as a buyer's broker and reach out to you at the start of your search, providing you the information you need to make an informed decision. I provide extensive services provided by few agents and always work in your best interest.
Finding the Perfect Match Between Home, Neighborhood and Lifestyle
Relocation, particularly long-distance relocation, can be time consuming and frustrating - some call it a harrowing ordeal. Many people move into a new home only a few times in their lifetime, and you are moving from your trusted resources to a new community where you lack local knowledge. This website is rich in information and provides you with Lifestyle Search, an application that answers your neighborhood questions as you search for a home.
I reach out to clients and provide the information they need when they first start their search. Ideal for someone who is considering relocation.
During your Discovery phase I help educate you on communities and neighborhoods so you can better focus your search. I prove the research on market conditions, home sales and prices, employment growth and other factors that help you make an informed real estate decision.
If you are asking your self the question – “Should I relocate?” A good start is a survey that was developed to help people evaluate their basic attitudes and motivations about relocating. If you have a significant other, you both should that the survey. The results may be enlightening and help you focus on areas of concern – and agreement.
This is a short survey and once you finish it brings you to a page that shows you your results. It places you into one of three categories – Better Stay Put, Think Carefully or Start Packing – along with suggestions that relate to your position in considering relocation. Take the Survey.
I work exclusively as a Buyer’s Agent. My focus is on helping you find the perfect match between home, neighborhood and lifestyle. I’m sure that is you goal – but it can be difficult. Especially if you a facing the stress of moving, trying to make a decision from a remote location and are leaving behind your local knowledge and trusted advisors.
Since I work exclusively for you, I provide a level of service you will not find from the typical agent. I am happy to help you arrange hotel reservations and set up a tour of homes to match your schedule. I also service the rental market and can help you set up temporary rental accommodations. Interested in a New Home, I service that market as well. I spent 30-years in the new home building industry as a Marketing Executive.
