When you decide it is time to move, it is important to engage your children in the process. Depending on the reason for the move and the distance, moving can cause some concerns for children that parents may not be aware of right away. Moving often means going to a new school, leaving favorite playmates, and experiencing a lot of uncertainty about what the new neighborhood will be like.

The transition will be a lot easier if your children support your efforts to get your current home sold. How can you get them involved in the process? Include the whole family in discussions about the move and invite the children to participate in house-hunting trips. Ask for the children's cooperation in keeping their toys and clothes picked up. Teenagers may be especially touchy about strangers invading their space, and may resist keeping their room in "showing" condition. Stay communicative with your children about developments in the home sale to help them feel connected to the process.

Work with a real estate agent who is comfortable with children and can remain sensitive to your children's needs and concerns. When the house sells, take the whole family out to celebrate the event.

My goal as a Number 1 Realtor is to establish an enduring relationship with all my customers while assisting them to meet their real estate needs. Since the majority of my business results from either past clients, or referrals from buyers or sellers, it is of the utmost importance to me to have a high reputation of honesty, integrity and expertise between myself and all those with which I conduct business. Couple this with the many years of experience I have in the industry, as well as the business and marketing tools I implement to assist my buyers and sellers, and you will find that real estate transactions can actually be an enjoyable experience! I am a lifelong resident of the Philadelphia Area and personally know how much this city and surrounding suburbs has to offer. I have raised my own family here and am conversant in all aspects of the vicinity, from shopping and the best driving route to work, to great restaurants and historical sites. My first hand knowledge of the area will be invaluable in assisting you with your real estate transactions.
