Moving? Make Yourself at Home Anywhere
 
Moving to a new home, a new city or a new country can be exciting--but it can also be challenging. In the midst of unfamiliar surroundings, you may find it difficult to get plugged into the area. Fortunately, there are a few tried and true steps you can take to help yourself feel at home after a move. Try these tips.

Tap your hobbies. Look for local communities built around something you enjoy. Are you a runner? Seek out a running club. Do you love making crafts? There's probably a local crafting group. From stamp collecting to scuba diving, your favorite hobby can help you connect with like-minded individuals and form connections in your new locale.

Use an app. If you know about a move in advance, you can use social media and other apps to find out about the people and places near your new home. Look for restaurants you might want to try, parks you'd like to visit and unique shops you might enjoy. Get recommendations from locals. Armed with online research, you may feel like you already know your new home long before moving day arrives.

Find current connections. Are you a member of any organizations? Use alumni associations, professional affiliations, or service groups to help you connect. As with hobby groups, other members of these societies are potential sources of information, referrals, and friendship.

Say yes. One of the fastest ways to get plugged in to your new neighborhood is to make a habit of saying yes. If you get invited to do something, accept the invitation. If you've never tried salsa dancing before, don't say no because it's outside your comfort zone. Be willing to try new things. Look for unique opportunities and seize them. You might be surprised at how many new enjoyable activities, people, and places you discover!

Ask your agent. As experts in their local markets, real estate agents are another great source of information. For the inside scoop on transportation, events, and other helpful tips, make use of these valuable resources.

Ask Kelli: 
What is the first step I should take if I want to buy a home?

Before anything else, you should get pre-approved by a lender. This involves consulting with a mortgage professional to determine how much you can afford.

First, it gives you a realistic parameters for your search. With a practical price range in mind, you can partner with an agent to view homes that fit your parameters.

Secondly, a pre-approval will strengthen any offers you make. If sellers can confirm that you are a qualified buyer, they are more likely to take your offer seriously.

I can refer you to experienced mortgage lenders in Summit County who will work with you to determine a realistic home buying budget.
