Tips for Moving Homes With Kids – Part 9

By |August 4th, 2015|Buyers, Sellers|

moving homes

Moving homes is stressful, moving homes with kids can be a nightmare. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make the whole process as painless as possible. We have come to the end of our list for tips on moving homes effortlessly with children in tow. Our final suggestion is to honor how they, as individuals, say goodbye.

Bid a Fond Farewell:
Everyone says goodbye differently and your children are no exception. Some respond better to seeing images of friends saying goodbye and there are no shortages of ways to create photo books that your children may enjoy.  Scrapbooks are another nice way to keep mementos, pictures and notes that your kids’ friends may compile for them to take along to their new home. Social media can be very helpful tackling this issue, as well. Keeping in touch via Facetime,  Facebook or Instagram means never really needing to say goodbye at all.  Let your children know that while they may miss seeing their friends in person every day,  saying ‘hello’ is often just a click or phone call away.

Tips for Moving Homes With Kids – Part 8

By |August 3rd, 2015|Buyers, Sellers|

homes with kids

Moving homes with kids can be a slippery slope, but with some careful planning, it doesn’t have to be a traumatic experience. We’ve given you seven tips so far to help make the transition to a new home a bit easier. Today’s tip is extra fun!

There goes the neighborhood!:

Spend some time with your kids and do some research about your new surroundings. Will he/she be going to a new school? Drive past it and show him/her the route from your house to campus. Maybe there are some interesting shops, restaurants and ice cream parlors nearby. These are points of interest for your children and should be explored to make them excited about their new home. If your move isn’t too far away, maybe spend an afternoon walking  around and introducing yourself to your new neighbors.  You never know, maybe there’s a child your child’s age. Today’s stranger may be tomorrow’s new best friend!

Some websites that can help you learn about points of interest in your neighborhood as well as local events are as follows:
