Moving....?

Question

We will be moving in the next year, and I've never moved out of state like this. I'm very nervous about how I will go about doing this. I'm going to need to find employment (doing the same thing I do now) find a place to live, and sell our house here. What if they want me to start the job and I haven't even found somewhere to live yet? What if my house doesn't sell right away. Which order should I do all of this? I don't want to move there without having a set/secure job. AHHH...Help!!!

I am moving because my family is moving out there. I would be renting for the first part of our move since I am unfamiliar with the area.

Answer 1

I am guessing you have a spouse you are moving out of state with for whatever reason. I would work on the job and selling your house first. You can always find at least an apartment to rent for awhile when you get there if you want to buy another house. I would talk to a realtor several months before you are planning on moving. You can also try to find a hiring agency for the area you are moving to. They may be able to help you find employment

Answer 2

I don't know enough information. Why are you moving? If you don't have a job there, and you don't seem to know anybody in that location. I'd find a job first.

I have moved because I have found a new job. You find the job first, then knowing how much you will earn, you'll find out what kind of housing you can afford. Typically people who have to sell houses get some sort of relocation assistance from their employer, contact them for more information.

Many people rent for a while, then purchase a new home after figuring out what neighborhood gets them what they want.

Stop worrying, and figure it out. you're a big girl, you can do it.
