Resources for Relocators

Posted by Wendy Weber

From Money Magazine’s January/February 2010 issue:

Use these tools to help you assess a job in another locale.

– See how far your salary will go:

– Check out various neighborhoods:
homefair.com

– Research school ratings:
schooldatadirect.org

– Investigate home prices:
domania.com and zillow.com

– Find out what it will cost to move:
relocation.com/library/moving_calculator.html

– Evaluate the quality of life:

There is one other relocation resource I recommend to my candidates to assess the differentials between their current home town and the place they are considering a relocation to:
– www.bestplaces.net/city

Relocation can be complicated, but utilizing these resources can help you to make a more informed decision. Good luck.
