Why Winter Is Different Here

From late fall through spring, many seasonal residents are in town. That can mean more traffic and moving crews with fuller calendars. If Mom has her heart set on a particular community, start the conversation early.

Rules to Ask About

Many condo and homeowner associations have their own move hours and rules. Ask Mom’s association, and the community she’s moving into, before you book.

Making the Most of Winter

Snowbird family members may be in town to help Mom sort and decide.
Cooler weather makes loading easier on everyone.
Seasonal buyers may be in town, which can help if you’re selling Mom’s home.
