It can be difficult to source your new home when you are hundreds of miles away, which is why the Internet has become so helpful. You can access all kinds of information in the comfort of your own home and start to narrow things down fairly early on.
There are plenty of property listings for every town and city in the US and no matter where you are heading, you should be able to find a list of properties that are available; however, is looking online sufficient? It is a good idea to find a good realtor to help you to narrow down your choices for a house move, as you will still need to visit the property yourself to see what it is really like – the Internet will only tell you so much.
When you are considering a long-distance move, you need to take more into account than just the new house. What are the local schools like? Are there job opportunities? What about leisure facilities? All these things are important to a family.
In addition, a visit to the prospective new home means that you get to see it as it really is. Don’t forget that sellers’ listings are about finding a buyer; therefore, they are likely to talk up the positive aspects of the house and avoid mentioning any negative points. They are unlikely to tell you about the neighbors who party all day long or the construction site across the street!
