Are You Moving To Or From Bend?
Like so many, my family relocated from Southern California to Bend, Oregon in 2003. We were fortunate enough to find just the perfect home/neighborhood for our family (and I am proud to say we are still in that home today)! I personally know the stress/anxiety of moving a long distance to a new city in which we knew no one, had not secured employment, had no resources for services and frankly did not know our way around the City of Bend. Although we had vacationed in Central Oregon for several years, vacationing in Central Oregon and living in Central Oregon were two very different things. Below are a few ideas that I hope you find helpful that made our transition very smooth.
If you are just beginning your journey of relocating to Central Oregon, let’s connect. Call me (541) 410-2707 or fill out my Inquiry Form! I would be happy to share my experience and provide local knowledge. I would be happy to set you up on a client portal which will feed live time listings to your e mail of properties that best suit your criteria. Super easy to do and is sure helpful (no more wandering around on several real estate search sites). The listings just come directly to you!
One thing that my family enjoyed prior to relocating to Central Oregon was to subscribe to a local newspaper like The Bend Bulletin Bend Bulletin or the Source Weekly. Downtown Bend Association Downtown Bend is another great source to following. Follow them via Facebook.
Need a Relocation Package (either via electronic media or via mail)? I am happy to send.
