Defining Your Own Success

When packing your boxes to make the big move it’s important to keep your goals in  mind.  Getting caught up in the excitement and pressure of the move is easy, but you can still make it on "your terms."

Defining "your terms" means first figuring out what is most important to you.  Often times relocatees have difficulty with a move because of this lack of clarity.  They want everything one specific way and refuse to budge or they budge on everything putting themselves out on all points.

For instance say you have 5 terms that are important to you, but they don’t all rank at the same level of importance.  Knowing your ranking preference will help you when it comes time to make decisions and negotiate.

I can’t tell you how often I end up being able to negotiate a settlement  on a home in my buyer’s favor, because they shared with me their order of preference on terms.  As luck has it, sometimes your terms are the exact opposite of the terms ranked by a seller. 

Knowing your preferences clears the path and brings the important items into focus.

Before you take the first step in a relocation, be clear on your objective.  Seek a consensus between partners so when it comes time to make decisions everyone is on the same page.
