I dropped by a clients new home the other day. She answered the door with a smile on her face, although I could tell she was a bit frazzled. Inside was still a chaotic array of boxes, packing materials, and half filled book shelves. It reminded me of a few years back when we moved offices.  I looked back through my old notes and found this article I wrote during the process.

We have moved, are moving, will be moving – what a process!  I truly believe that a dentist should be required to have a root canal occasionally, a doctor should have to go through a surgery, an accountant should undergo an audit and a Realtor should be required to move – just so they have a better understanding of what their patients/clients are going through.

It is now two weeks since we left our “office home” of 12 years to move to The Muljat Group.  We worked with a very special group of people, and we miss them, but we are also thoroughly enjoying our new colleagues and have been warmly welcomed by them.  The experience is very comparable to moving to a new neighborhood because of changes in your job.

Our move is a bit different than most moves within the real estate industry however, because while we are affiliated with The Muljat Group we are actually opening a satellite office; and while we had considered a move for some time, the actual move happened quickly.  Rather than moving into an existing office space, we have had to create one. This raised some interesting situations.  We worked out of boxes, without desks or chairs, for the first week.  It took 12 days to get telephone service (thank goodness for cell phones)!  Since our permanent site is not yet ready, we are in temporary quarters for a bit.

Are we glad we moved?  Yes.  Will we be glad when the move is complete?  Yes!!  Have we gained some ideas of things that we can do to make your move easier?  Yes.

Call.  We can help.

So do we still remember what it’s like to go through moving? Absolutely yes! Good luck!
