Silicon Valley Relocation Guide

Moving can be stressful or high excitement. Usually it is a combination of the two. Moving to Silicon Valley will be more stressful than moving elsewhere because of the home prices. It is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. If you have been offered a job here, talk to the company about relocation assistance and housing subsidies or low-interest loans. Many companies have such programs.

This guide consists of a series of articles we hope will reduce the stress and turmoil of moving to a new city. Each article is on a separate page in a printer-friendly format.

First, establish a timetable. There are a myriad of tasks to accomplish in making a successful move. This timetable will assist you in making sure everything gets done.

Second, hire a moving company. Depending upon the time of year, this chore can become a nightmare. Do this early because there are only a limited amount of moving trucks and you don't want to be stuck with a local fly-by-night company. They are out there.

Next, do your homework. Advance knowledge of your new community goes a long way towards relieving the anxiety of the move. This site is set-up to assist you in finding out fundamental statistics about the community. As your agent, I can give you the little details about Scottsdale that will make the difference in your purchase of the right home, and neighborhood.
