Whether you’re planning a cross-country move or settling somewhere new nearby, here are a few key tips from Carol to make your relocation smooth and stress-free in 2025.

  1. Start planning early

The earlier you start preparing for your move, the better. Create a timeline for key milestones, including finding a new home, selling your current property and organizing logistics like packing and transportation. Early planning can help you avoid unnecessary last-minute stress.

  1. Partner with a trusted real estate network

  1. Understand the local market

If you’re moving to East Tennessee, it’s essential to work with a local real estate expert who understands the market and the community. East Tennessee offers something for everyone, from the stunning Smoky Mountains to vibrant urban centers like Knoxville. A knowledgeable agent can help you find the perfect neighborhood to fit your lifestyle.

  1. Prepare for the unexpected

Relocations often involve surprises. Stay flexible and have a contingency plan for delays, budget adjustments or last-minute changes. Working with a relocation specialist can help you anticipate challenges and stay on track.
