A new home means a new neighborhood, perhaps a new school for the kids, new commuting distance to work, new restaurants to try, new doctors to find, new friends to make.
Ask your real estate agent to assist you with finding new contacts, referring you to trusted professionals, great places to eat, the best shops or malls, a local barber shop and hair salon. Your real estate agent lives and works in the area you are inquiring about, so they are a great resource for you, and they are happy to help. A good realtor will also have resources for an electrician, plumber, painter, landscaper, cleaning company; all of which you may have need of in your new home.
