A Guide to Moving to Fort Myers
As you feel the morning sun pour in through your windows to start your day and sip on a cold beverage outdoors to end your evening, summertime just seems to invoke a feeling of invigoration and energy in us.
For some, that energy can look something like packing moving boxes to the brim and starting a new chapter in a new home, especially with this summer’s historically low interest rates.
We’ve witnessed a host of new homeowners brimming with joy as they get a photo taken with their new homesite, sign their closing papers, and get the keys to their new home so far this summer. As they envision making their new home uniquely them, making wonderful new memories in their new space, and starting a new phase of life, their joy is truly contagious.
The process of moving into a home this summer should continue that sunshine, not bring rain clouds! There are lots of adjustments throughout your move: schools, neighbors, surroundings. Having the answers you need and a team dedicated to your new home’s construction will put you at ease, allowing you to focus on other things.
