Carolina Relocation and Retirement Guide
It's a daunting task moving from one location where you know everyone, have the support of family, friends, and longtime neighbors to retiring or relocating to Your best place in North Carolina or South Carolina where you know no one!
It's made even harder by the fact that once you get there, you now not only know no one, but you also know nothing!
That's right, you don't know where your favorite restaurant is anymore, you don't know where to go to the doctor or dentist, you don't know where to get you hair and nails done…
You get the idea…you know no one and nothing!
However with a bit of planning and following a couple of my " insider tips", retirement and relocation in the Carolinas can be a Great Adventure, and an awesome growing and learning experience.
Here's some tips…
Visit, Visit, Visit…
I always tell our members to make multiple visits to the place they're considering as their best place to live. Nothing beats being there and talking to everyone you meet!
Speak to the retail store owners, cab drivers, restaurant owners and servers, hotel managers, town clerk, and people in the building department.
Get comfortable with the area!
Start making friends and establishing familiar faces. You'll see how quick the restaurant, hotel, and retail people know who you are after just a couple of visits. It starts to create an anchor for you.
Subscribe to the local paper, so you can keep up with the events and developments in the area.
Join some of the local clubs or religious organizations similar to ones you belong to at home. You can attend their events or meetings when you visit, and keep in touch with members you meet by email or phone.
With so many people looking to find their best place to retire or relocate to in North Carolina and South Carolina, many towns host "Exploration Weekends" for visitors.
Take part in these events to meet people who are in the same boat as you.
These are a few ways to get an insider's point of view about areas in the Carolinas as well as starting to establish connections, so when you move to your Best Place to live in the Carolinas, you'll already have someone to go to dinner with or play golf with, and I'm sure they'll know where to get the best ribs or get your nails done!
