STRATEGIES FOR MIGRATING SNOWBIRDS
If you are developing an aversion to freezing winter winds, snowdrifts and icy roads, you may be getting ready to fly south for the winter. Here are some tips for finding the right place to nest.
Test out an area by making regular visits during the months that you plan to live there. Contact a local real estate agent who knows the area well. Explain what kind of home you want and your price range. During your visits, your real estate agent can take you to see suitable properties until you find the perfect house.
Familiarize yourself with the diverse communities where you choose to spend the winter. Make sure the climate is good for your health, particularly if you suffer from allergies. Find out whether the services, amenities and activities you desire are available in that area, and whether the lifestyle is compatible.
I can recommend vacation rental options that will allow you to get to know the area.
