Where Do I Even Start?

A Step-by-Step Guide for Families Relocating to Winter Garden (or Nearby!)

Moving to a new state can feel like an emotional and logistical rollercoaster — especially with kids in tow, sports schedules to juggle, and about 37 tabs open on your computer.

If you’re relocating to Winter Garden or one of the nearby communities, you’re probably wondering:

  • Where should we live?

  • What schools are best for our kids?

  • How do we buy a home from hundreds (or thousands) of miles away?

  • Will we actually like it there?

Take a deep breath, friend — I’ve got you.

As a mom of four (two with ADHD, one with autism), a relocation specialist, and someone who’s helped 100+ families move to this area, I know how overwhelming this can be. That’s why I created this simple roadmap to help you get started—with clarity, confidence, and way less stress.

✨ Step 1: Get Clear on Your Family’s Needs

Before you start Zillow-scrolling, take time to figure out what matters most to your family.

Do you want:

  • A walkable neighborhood?

  • Top-rated schools with strong sports programs?

  • Proximity to Disney, downtown Winter Garden, or major highways?

  • New construction or something more established?

This step is key to narrowing your options.

🧭 Step 2: Explore the Area — From Afar

Not in town yet? No problem.

I offer:

  • Virtual neighborhood tours

  • Area guides with school, commute, and lifestyle info

  • FaceTime walkthroughs of homes

    …so you can explore Winter Garden and nearby areas without ever leaving your couch.

🏠 Step 3: Build Your Dream-Team

Relocating isn’t just about real estate—it’s about real life.

You’ll want a team who:

  • Knows the local market and the school systems

  • Understands how to handle out-of-state offers, inspections, and timelines

  • Can connect you with movers, lenders, painters, and every local vendor you’ll need

Spoiler: That’s me. 😊

💬 Step 4: Start the Conversation

The biggest mistake people make is waiting too long to ask for help.

Even if you’re 6–12 months out, let’s start talking.

Together, we’ll map out your timeline, set expectations, and make sure every step is crystal clear.
