Last Out, First In Box is always a good idea

Published by rns under Family Relocation Tips

There are plenty of tips and tricks that you can use to help you during your relocation to Orlando Florida, but one simple piece of advice is to use a Last Out/First In box. This can be especially helpful if you are traveling long distance to get to your new home, this way you will have all of the essentials with you in one place, at all times.

A last out, first in box is a container that you can keep important items in whether you are still packing your old home or have already relocated to or your new home in Orlando. There are plenty of random things that you don’t necessarily think about keeping out while you are packing but always wish you left out so that it would be easier to use or find later.

You can include a variety of items in your last out, first in box including: Medication, toilet paper, keys, jewelry, toiletries, a shower curtain, important records, cleaning supplies, pet food, milk, snacks, plastic cutlery, paper towels, can openers, tools or items placed in your homes safe.

By keeping all these items in one box or storage bin, it will be easy to locate all these items to make your relocation go much smoother. This will keep you from frantically opening and going through dozens of boxes to find that one item that you need so badly.

Not only is Relocation Networking Services here to give you moving advice and tips, it is a resource you can use to help find services and items that you may need when you relocate to Orlando, Florida. If you need any advice during your relocation to the Orlando area, please call 407-595-4474, to receive more helpful tips and advice to make your relocation as easy as pie

New City, New Furniture

Published by rns under Family Relocation Tips

When you are relocating to a different city, sometimes it is easy to get rid of too much furniture before the move, thinking that it is going to make the moving process easier. We have all been in that position, you’re looking at your family room couch and thinking to yourself, “Maybe we should just toss it and get a new one when we get there.” Or maybe your bed frame and dining table broke while it was being transported in the moving van. Lucky for you, the new Orlando resident, there are plenty of places in town for you to buy furniture to furnish your new home.
Some local places to pick up new furniture are Ikea, American Signature, Ashley Furniture, and Rooms To Go. If you are still in the process of relocating, and want the furniture to be ready for you when you arrive in Orlando, place your order on-line so you can get the ship date to be as close to your move date as possible.
One of the benefits of needing to buy new furniture is that it gives you a fresh start on decorating your new home, Florida style. Florida has a very eclectic decorating style since it is made up of a stew of different types of people from around the country. Some great local stores in Orlando to buy items to decorate your new house with are Pier 1, Bed Bath & Beyond, and even Target.
Use your relocation to your advantage and set yourself up to be happy in your new home. For more local recommendations on relocation services, call 407-595-4474. Relocation Networking Solutions is there to answer any of your questions about moving and to recommend stores and services to make your relocation to Orlando go as smooth as possible.

Helping Your Child During The Relocation Process

Published by rns under Family Relocation Tips

Relocating can be stressful on anybody, but for most children it is a life changing event. As a family it is important to make your relocation as comfortable as possible for everyone and to keep a special eye on your children, even while you have plenty of moving responsibilities of your own.

One of the best ways to help your child welcome the idea of moving is to show them as much as you can about Orlando before hand, so they know what to expect and have something to look forward to. Showing pictures to your child of your new house, their new school, ball parks, dance studios, whatever your child is into, will help give them a better idea of what Orlando is like.

Once you finally relocate to Orlando, it is important to take the time to introduce your child to all of the places you showed them before. When you have a break between painting and unpacking boxes, drive around and show your child their new school, local library, and local recreational areas like parks and lakes. It is also nice to visit some of the unique places Orlando has to offer like the Orlando Science Center or the Orlando Museum of Art. By acquainting your child and family with these new places it helps your new area feel more like home and gives your children something to talk about with their new friends at school. It is easy to put such outings on the backburner since other responsibilities may feel more immediate, but helping your child adjust to their new area is something that will pay off in the long run. It usually takes about six months to a year to finally feel at home in your new area, so help  that process move along faster just by taking a few extra hours during your move to help your child feel more comfortable.

Relocation Networking Services is here to help with all of your relocation needs. We know that relocating to a new area with children is an extra responsibility, so let us help you decide what schools are best and give you other advice that will help your children be successful. Give us a call today at 407-595-4474 to make relocating easier for your entire family.

Fun Stuff to Do Once You Relocate to Orlando …Other than Disney World

Published by rns under Orlando Recreation

Once you relocate to Orlando, you might begin to wonder what are some fun things to do that don’t involve Disney or SeaWorld? Don’t get me wrong, the theme parks are great, but there are plenty of other things to do that don’t involve people dressed up in costumes. You should enjoy the perks of your new location, so here are a few ideas to help you get started.

If you are looking to do something one-on-one with nature, head down to Wekiwa Springs State Park and take a trip down the Wekiva River in a canoe or kayak. The trip takes a couple hours, but is well worth the journey and is a great way to learn about the native plants and animals of your new homes region. Once you move to Orlando you will discover that there are plenty of rivers to paddle down, so purchasing a kayak or canoe is also a fun investment for your family and home and a great way to become more familiar with the area.

If you like to be outside, but aren’t so much into wildlife there are plenty of neighboring cities that are easy to get to from your new home that have unique, historic buildings and quaint shopping centers. Winter Park is built around its historic Rollins College and has streets with plenty of shops and restaurants for you to stroll along and relax. After all your unpacking is finished, treat you family to a day trip to historic St. Augustine! St. Augustine is very similar to Winter Park, except that it houses one of the oldest forts and school houses in America. If you have recently relocated to Florida or are planning to in the future, this is a great place to learn some of Florida’s history and have fun at the same time.

There are plenty of places in Orlando for you to explore and have fun, that don’t cost a fraction of what a theme park would cost. If you are looking to relocate to the Orlando area or have recently moved here, please check out all of the relocation services that I offer for free on my website. I am here to make your move go smoother and make your adjustment to the Orlando area easier. I hope you get a chance to discover some of the great places in Florida that I have come to love so much. Please give me a call at 407-595-4474, so I can assist you with your move.

Finally, Good News for Homeowners!

Published by rns under Orlando housing market

Wanting to relocate to Orlando, but not sure if you are going to be able to get the true value of your house you are currently living in. Well good news is in, finally! A recent article posted by Alan Zibel called Data Showing Housing Market Starting to Recover is giving homeowners across America a sparkle of hope. According to Zibel and the National Association of Realtors,

“Sales of previously occupied homes rose for the third month in a row in June… That hasn’t happened since early 2004, during the boom… Stocks jumped on the news, with the Dow Jones industrial average rising above 9,000 for the first time since early January. Home sales rose 3.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.89 million last month, from a downwardly revised pace of 4.72 million in May. Sales were up in all four regions of the country.”

In this changing market, it is sometimes difficult to gage when the best time to buy is and when the best time to sell is. The positive, current industry trends can at least give all of us some solid ground to make future decisions on. So, when you do decide to make the big move, whether you are relocating for another job, you’re a new snow bird, or you just like the weather here in Orlando, be sure to look us up at Relocation Networking Services to better help you with your adjustment. We can help you find a new mortgage broker, an attorney, an insurance agent or real estate agent.

So, when you get all of your housing ducks in a row and are ready to relocate, give us a call at 407-595-4474 and let us help you make your relocation easier.

Change of Address Checklist

Published by rns under Uncategorized

There are many concerns going through your head as you are relocating to your new home in Orlando.  The key to moving AND keeping your sanity is getting as much done as you can before you make the big move. Changing your address is something that shouldn’t be a pain if done enough in advance. Here are some places you may want to remember to submit an address update to …

- Post Office
- Bank or Credit Union
- Insurance Company
- Investment Institution
- Credit Card Companies
- Vehicle Registration
- Clubs & Memberships
- Magazine Subscriptions
- Doctors/Dentists Office
- Don’t forget your friends and family!

You can easily change your address on-line at The United States Postal Service website and place a specific date for your change of address to go into effect. This is a great hassle free way to change your address since you don’t have to wait in any lines. As a form of checking your identification on-line, USPS requires a credit card number and charges a dollar to your account. An added bonus when changing your address on-line is that they give you up to three hundred dollars in coupons from places like Lowes, SafeTouch, and Publix that you can use for your new home. If there is a post office locally, you can always fill out a form on-site for free. They will forward your mail on a date of your choosing and give you specific forwarding periods for magazines, credit statements and other miscellaneous mail you may receive.

For companies that you may get bill statements from, you can usually fill out a form to change your address on the back of their bill statements. This is handy, but requires a second party to manually type in the address change. Now, many companies let you change your address on their website, that way you know that it is documented correctly and the processing time is immediate. Don’t forget that some companies take up to a month to process change of address forms, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time.

For all of the other issues that may come up during your move, look to RNS to help ease the stress and worries of relocating. RNS is there to help you with free information and support that will make your adjustment to your new location much easier! If you need any assistance with a real estate broker or agent, RNS can make your transition into your new home smooth on all aspects of your move from finding your new home to helping you find the right movers, the right maintenance company and the best storage centers.

Relocating to Orlando, Florida? What do I do first?

Published by rns under Uncategorized

For some, the thought of relocating to Orlando, Florida can be stressful as well as exciting!

There is so much to be done that it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Completing address changes, packing, cleaning, taking care of utilities, unpacking and setting up camp again can seem like an endless task, but there is hope. There are several things one can do to ensure that relocating goes over smoothly.

First and foremost, make a list. The list should be set up like a timeline, if you will. You will feel more in control knowing what has to be done and when.

Next, call a moving company if you would like to have your stuff moved professionally, or if not, they may be able to help you out with moving supplies. However, if you decide to do it yourself get prices and available dates that will coincide with your budget and timeline.

You will need to call utilities for both residences. Utilities would include, electric, water, gas, cable, and trash. When you do have a new home you will have to contact the local utility company for hook up. They will need a date and address to connect services, so be sure to have all the correct information in front of you. As for your current residence, you will need to call to set a date for disconnection.

Next, you will need to go to your local post office to do a change of address. They have a simple form for you to fill out that will ensure that your mail will be forwarded to your new residence.
After all this is accomplished and the moving day arrives, things will start falling into place. Whether you are moving yourself or having someone do it for you, you will need to be prepared for another means of living while you accomplish the actual moving. A hotel or friend is a good option. Staying with family can be helpful too. However much time you are in transit, patience is key. Don’t forget to leave your old residence as you would like to find it when you moved in, clean and ready for the next tenant.

Finally, once you get to your new residence and start unpacking and setting up camp, be sure to take a moment to just breathe. You are almost done now.

RNS can alleviate the stress and uncertainty of relocating to Orlando, Florida. We will provide you with the consultation and resources you need to make your move stress free.
