relocating

Change can be a good thing (I'm told). If a move is necessary, research your options. Consider quality of living and education, distance to providers, amenities, etc.

1. Research the quality of living and education

Check the home for health hazards

Our passion is for OLD homes because of their beautiful woodwork, archways, nooks and crannies, hardwood floors,  and windows...but they are also a high risk  to our health as they may contain asbestos (banned in most areas by 1989), lead paint (banned in most areas by 1978), mold, radon and faulty wells
