There are a lot of things to consider when you prepare to relocate to a new area of the country or world.  This may be exponentially more difficult if you a Baby Boomer or Gen X.  The implications are considerable.  New Doctors, New Church, New Specialists.  Today, the siblings leverage a conversation Donna had with a national group of BNI real estate agents about the challenges, opportunities and considerations that are required to help a Young (or Old) Baby Boomer relocate to new town, new state, new time-zone, new, new new.  Everything that was comfortable and familiar is possibly long gone.  As real estate agents, our expertise goes well beyond the showings and transactional components of relocating.  In many cases your real estate expert is your first, best (perhaps only) contact for navigating and connecting to your new city and neighborhood.  Take advantage of our expertise and knowlegde.  We can get you connected.  If you don't take full advantage of us, then you are missing something good (likely great)! Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.
