Moving is one of the top 3 stressors adults feel – right up there with major illness and even divorce. It’s understandable, then, to want to be as organized as possible to mitigate feelings of overwhelm.
After all, actually moving your stuff to Winston Salem is only part of the challenge.
- Where will you shop for your everyday items now?
- What schools and parks are nearby for your children? What considerations might affect where specifically you’d want to move in the Winston Salem area?
- What recreational activities are available?
- How do different areas compare in terms of crime, safety, pricing, and privacy?
- What if your new home won’t be available for a while? Where can you move nearby as a temporary solution?
My experience has been that people want to nail down exactly where they’re going to live, and what that looks like, before they even take a new job elsewhere.
The personal relocation services I provide are designed to solve all of these challenges. We offer area orientation tours to equip those new to the area with the know-how to feel comfortable right away.
Helping You Find A Community
Feeling comfortable in your new home goes beyond the home itself. One of the hardest parts of a new home is feeling isolated from the community around you. In preparation for the move, I help all families I work with to find solutions for things like:
- The school system best suited to your children’s needs
- Parks, playgrounds, and bike trails for family activities
- A church home that fits your family
- Groups and areas for your hobbies
- Shopping and lifestyle amenities nearby
This is true even if you need temporary housing. Sometimes the home you’re looking for isn’t available for awhile – whether because it’s being built or that the one with the right features isn’t on the market just then.
Our relocation services include this fairly common situation as well. I can help you find somewhere short term that works for your family, gets you close to the community you’re looking for, and remains convenient for the new job. From there, it’s only one more step toward the long term home.
In short, everything leading up to moving into the new house is something we help folks with.
Discounts and Proper Usage of Your Relocation Budget
Whether your employer is paying out a lump sum for moving expenses or you’re covering that yourself, the endeavor can create a bunch of costs that eat up that budget quickly – and often unnecessarily.
(And the lump sum aspect of employer-funded relocation is the most common these days. It’s less common that the employer provides a hands-on batch of relocation services. So if you’re being given a budget for it, using the budget wisely is huge.)
Because of my industry experience and vast knowledge of the Winston Salem area, I can help my clients make decisions that maximize the value of each piece of the move. I can also advise against choices that past clients have not found as helpful, things that are expensive with little payoff.
I can also find my clients discounts they wouldn’t get elsewhere, largely because many vendors are keen to work with Berkshire Hathaway.
Relocation Services For All Walks of Life
Just because we’ve used families with young children as examples thus far shouldn’t be taken as those are the only folks that can benefit from relocation services.
In fact, a significant number of families relocating to Winston Salem from elsewhere in the country are in the 50s to 60s age range. Those who are not yet retired, but are looking for new opportunities.
For them, the quick integration to business, hobby opportunities, and even beautiful scenery are all huge draws to this area.
And speaking of that…
Winston Salem is A Big Draw For Numerous Other States
The top places folks from elsewhere have moved to Winston Salem from include:
- Oregon
- Ohio
- New Jersey
- New York
- California
- Texas
This says a lot about Winston Salem’s variety of innovative opportunities as well as beautiful outdoor areas for downtime. Our greenways, parks, bike trails, and relatively nearby access to both mountains and beaches make those who live here feel like they have it all.
When I work with families for relocation, we take care of everyone in the family in the move and not simply the one who called me.
