It is time to talk real estate.
Relocation to Denver or any other place can be exciting and/or scary. Some people embrace change, taking it on like a new suit. They study and analyze it, pondering over every minute aspect until it becomes a natural for them.
Others approach moving to the new location with trepidation and fear. They analyze it to the nth degree only to find the only decision they can make is not to make a decision.
Oh my.
Either situation is very familiar to me. Each month I work with customers who have decided or are in the process of making the decision to move.
One thing I find is universal, the steps are the same, but the route is different...every time. Guaranteed.
Why is this might you ask? The answer is simple, everyone is different. Each person has a personal hierarchy of needs that makes each and every situation different.
Finding the route is simple, once one knows the desired outcome.
Here are questions to consider;
- Urban vs. suburban
- Old vs. new
- Commute time
- Importance of schools
Budget
Type of neighborhood
Lifestyle
Proximity to conveniences
Size of property
Projected time in home
Reflecting over what is important to you and determining your own personal hierarchy of needs will save you time and stress. You will find some issues are "deal breakers" and others are so unimportant they are "throw aways."
Only you the customer can determine what is important to you. I can help you wade through the process, pointing out conflicts in your criteria, avoid issues with resale, suggest neighborhoods that might fit your lifestyle and in the end help you find the right path to home ownership.
No relocation need not be stressful. When you take the time to consider your wants and needs, moving to a new home can be a simple as a walk in the park.
And fun too!
