What was I thinking? I hate moving!

Have you ever made a quick decision, and then found yourself thinking "What did I do?"

We decided, totally spur-of-the moment, to move from one office to another in the same building. Our insurance Agents (Mark and Susan Green, Farmers Insurance) told us they were moving around the corner to a larger office, and we are moving into their old space.

Yesterday I ordered signs, today we started the change utilities process. Then it hit me. We manage properties for many Owners. I'll have to let all of them know. All of our tenants will need to be informed. Vendors, other REALTORS, the local Board, the Dept. of RE! ACKK!

And then there's the web site- and all our paperwork, and a new letterhead.

I looked at a Calvin and Hobbs cartoon I have on my desk where Hobbs is debating throwing a snowball "should I or shouldn't I?" Next frame- "Too late- I did". And that's how I feel- too late- I did.

It's going to be a good move, really. We are giving up street frontage, but the way the building is set back off the street I don't think it really did us much good anyway. We get a LITTLE walk-in trade, but they are never serious. And we are trading one large space with an L-shape kitchen which we use for storage for THREE nicely set-up offices, each with room for two desks if we want them.

I want the new office to look professional, but also friendly and inviting. What do you think is most important in an office? Once we get moved and set-up I will post pictures.

 Officially, we will be 814 N. Beeline Hwy., Suite F, Payson, AZ 85541

Leslie- I recently closed one office and boy do I know all the people and places we need to change the information :)  I liked the cartoon..."too late" :)  It sounds like your new office will meet your needs better....me we had maybe 10 people a year walk in :)  So for me it was a no brainer.......
