Relocation Services

So you’re moving to Cleveland—congratulations! But you know very little about the city and where to live or even look for a place! Yes, you can do a research online. But you will be inundated with loads of information, oftentimes conflicting and based on the author’s own agenda or biases. And the outputs and information are not tailored to your preferences or necessarily accurate. But good news! I can help you through a phone or zoom consultation.

Cleveland is big and diverse. The City of Cleveland is comprised of at least 50 neighborhoods—each unique in their own way. Surrounding Cleveland in suburban Cuyahoga County, there are 58 separate municipalities overlapping 30 suburban school districts. Then there are the six outer counties—Lorain, Medina, Portage, Geauga, and Lake—again, each with their own characteristics and features.

Beyond commute times to work or schools, there are many, many considerations---school district offerings, walkability, proximity to retail or parks or the Lake, safety, traffic levels, rail transit access, bus transit access, proximity to restaurants or bars or ice cream parlors, friendliness to pedestrians or bicycles, quality, responsiveness of local government, property tax levels, and much more.

We can set up a 1-hour call or zoom meeting. We can do three-way calling or have more than one person on the zoom on your end if you want a spouse or other person on the Zoom with you. And we can schedule evening or weekend hours—whenever is convenient. A one-hour consultation on the insights of Cleveland and discussing your questions and concerns is $200. If we decide to work further together and I represent you as your agent as you purchase a home, you will get the $200 back as a credit at the closing.

Yes, a good realtor should be able to give you neighborhood insights, but you need to find an agent that knows that part of town—so you first need to know which areas you’re interested in so you can find the right agent! Spending an hour now will save you countless hours later (and maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars) as you will have an instant “short list” of communities to explore as you learn about the city overall. I’m a Cleveland expert and certified urban planner with profound insights and depth of knowledge and am here to help!
