Have you ever thought about moving to the Asheville area? Our mountain region in the Southern Appalachians is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the country. With leaf season already beginning, more people are visiting our town, and this leads many to considering relocating. Perhaps you already live in Asheville and are thinking about moving on to California, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, or South Carolina. Me and my team at GoPrime Mortgage can help, see how below.
Finding a Mortgage Lender
At GoPrime Mortgage, we always recommend that the first step in the home buying journey is talking with a mortgage lender. Why? Having this initial discussion will help you understand your budget before you begin shopping for a home. If potential issues are identified, we can work with you to correct them before moving forward with the process. Whether you’re moving to North Carolina, California, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, or South Carolina, contact me and my team at GoPrime Mortgage to learn more.
Chamber of Commerce Resources
For people moving here to Asheville, we can’t recommend our local Chamber of Commerce more. They offer a relocation package that provides useful resources for retirement, employment, education, housing, and more. Wherever you’re moving, tap into their local Chamber of Commerce to find similar assistance to help streamline the transition.
Moving Away from Asheville
If you are moving away from Asheville, you may need to sell your home here in order to afford to purchase in your new location. If you already have a real estate agent, open the conversation about selling your home. You can also contact me and my team at GoPrime Mortgage in West Asheville to learn more about the buying process and get referrals to professionals in other locations.
Steps to Take for a Smooth Relocation
Are you looking for more practical tips for relocating? Here’s a short checklist that can help you get started.
- Identify your budget, and don’t forget to include the cost of hiring a moving company, any hotel stays, and packing supplies
- Make a detailed inventory of your belongings
- Gather all paperwork related to the move in one folder, both physically and electronically
- Research and talk to schools, both in your current and future location
- Measure your new space and your furniture to ensure that everything will fit in your ideal spots
- Take this time to decide what you really think is worth moving, and declutter ahead of packing
- Label all moving boxes by room and contents for ease of unpacking
- Gather items you’ll need in the first few days of moving, such as toiletries, kitchen utensils, and bedding, so you’re not searching through dozens of boxes
- Keep all valuables and necessary paperwork with you as you travel
- File a change of address form with the United States Postal Service, and remember to update your address on all bank cards, subscriptions, and other services
My team and I would love to help you get you started on your road home through relocation, wherever your destination may be. Contact us to learn more today.
