Below is a sample
itinerary for visiting Portland, Oregon
to determine and help with your
relocation.
Sample: Seven
Day Itinerary to
Prepare for Your Relocation to Portland
Decisions
Day 1 (Will be focused
on getting organized and acquainted and
setting your mind right for how many
huge decisions you have to make in a
short period of time.)
Day 2 (will be focused on
researching your work location and
identifying traffic patterns what is
important for you. Such as do you
need to be next to the golf club, or do
you need to be near freeways. What
is absolutely the most important.
How many minutes are you willing to
commute too and from work?)
Day 3 (Now that you've identified
the maximum amount of commute time
you've narrowed down your search to
specific areas. Next item is how
do you want to live? Do you need
to be within walking distance of tennis
club or organic food store? Need
to be within walking distance of the
best public High School?)
Day 4 (Now that you've
identified where you are working, how
long your commute will be, which key
areas you need to be close too, what
county you want to live in now is the
time to search out neighborhoods.
What kind of neighborhoods do you want
to live in? Do you want
neighborhoods with HOA's? Do you
want neighborhoods with larger houses,
smaller houses, newer houses, older
houses? Do you want neighborhoods
with very little cars that park on the
streets? Do you want neighborhoods
with security gates? Do you want
high income or middle income or lower
income neighborhoods? Do you want
neighborhoods with extras like parks,
walking trails and pools? Today
and tomorrow you'll be working with a
Real Estate Agent to help you.)
Day 5 (Ok yesterday the Real
Estate Agent has shown you many
neighborhoods of which we've found 4-5
different neighborhoods that all meet
your criteria and today it's time to
take a look inside of some of the homes
that are for sale in those
neighborhoods.)
Day 6 (Ok now that your realtor
knows exactly what you are wanting it's
time to narrow down your search and
choose 3 homes that all meet your needs
and to make offers on each one of the
homes.)
Day 7 (Ok you've now made
offers on three of the homes and have
ranked them from 1-3 as to which is
best, second best and third best.
Now you can feel comfortable and relaxed
flying home knowing that you've
successfully identified where you want
to live, what you want to live next to,
what kind of lifestyle you want to live
(sitting in traffic or biking to work or
short 5 minute commute), you've
pinpointed the type of neighborhood and
home you want to live in. You've
found three homes that will work for
your needs and have ranked them from 1-3
and have made offers on all of them.)
Now it's up to your Real Estate Agent
and the sellers.
