Your step-by-step guide to moving to a new state in the USA

The information you want &
the guidance you need

What Do You Want?

A better standard of living?
A home you love?
 A community that embraces your values?

What's Stopping You?

Where should we move?

Simple Process, Detailed Information

Make the Move simplifies the moving process, but it is not a basic checklist

It's a detailed guide that contains more than 4 hours of informational videos
and 43 detailed checksheets,
covering every aspect of your move

There are four modules:

#1
Deciding Where to Move

#2
Budgeting for Your Move

#3
Planning Your Move

#4
Managing Your Emotions

And you work at your own pace:
If your move is soon, you can binge watch all the videos and plan your move in a matter of hours
If you have months or years until you move, you can work through each module when you have time

Step1
Decide Where

In Module 1 you'll get clear on:

What you want from life in your new state  

The kind of weather, landscape, political & social issues, cost of living, employment opportunities & amenities that will be perfect for your needs 


This creates a shortlist of communities that could feel like home

Make the Move also lists the best websites to compare crime rates, school rankings, cost of living indicators, tax rates, demographics and many other valuable indicators

Then you'll plan a road trip to visit the places you love and learn how to decide if a town is the perfect fit for you

If you can't visit, you'll decide where to move using online resources

Step 2
Budget Carefully

In Module 2 you'll customize Make the Move's Budgeting Spreadsheet to create a detailed budget for your move

- How much can your earn before you move?
- What are your expenses & assets?  

The spreadsheet also calculates your cost of living in your new state

Then you'll calculate your moving costs

The spreadsheet lists every moving expense and allows you to calculate your costs at 3 different price points:

- cheapest
- average
- luxury

This enables you to cut costs if needed

And Make the Move is packed with information and guidance to help you save money and avoid scams

Step 3
Create a Plan


In Module 3 you'll plan for every issue you need to deal with during your move:

  • Finding the right realtor  
  • Buying a home in a new state  
  • Selling your home  
  • Downsizing and sorting  
  • Moving your stuff
  • Finding employment  
  • Finding healthcare  
  • Finding schools & colleges  
  • Planning for family who are moving with you  
  • Planning for family who are staying behind  
  • Moving a vehicle  
  • Moving animals  
  • Planning your trip to your new state

Step 4
Deal with Difficult Feelings

One of the hardest things about moving is leaving the people you love behind and dealing with a rollercoaster of emotions

One minute you're happy and optimistic about the future, the next minute you're stressed about all the things that could go wrong
 
And dealing with fear of the unknown in your new state is also stressful

I'll show you how to overcome your doubts, deal with your fears and a manage all your emotions

And I'll give you practical advice on how to deal with other people's feelings, so you can help them focus on the future and all the postives things about your move

And I'll also teach you how to maintain close bonds with the friends and family you leave behind
