Reasons to move out of California, or if you’re thinking more local, out of the Bay Area, may range from a lower cost of living, lower taxes, less crowding, retirement, following family, or simply a change of pace. But it’s no secret that the extensive list of things that need to be done for moving can be overwhelming. How do you start? Where do you start? And when planning ahead, how far in advance should you start?
In a new episode of Absolute Trust Talk LIVE, we are happy to welcome guest Scott Fuller, relocation expert and founder of LeavingTheBayArea.com. As the top resource for helping clients navigate the moving process systematically, Scott brings a wealth of information on the type of moving trends in the Bay Area and across the state. Scott and Kirsten will also examine how COVID-19 has impacted the market and the relocation process. Moving is a big job, but when you have the right plan and thought process in place, you will be able to smoothly check off all the “to-dos” on your list and move like a pro.
- Moving isn’t just about logistics. It’s also about being mentally and emotionally prepared as well.
- Are you ready to move, but not sure where? Take time to sit down and visualize the process and visualize your goal for making a move.
- While there are a lot of people moving out of California, there are just as many relocating within the state to lower density areas – especially now with COVID.
