ERA Justin Realty Daniel Jones Report: New Kid On The Block


Moving during Spring 2013 can be a major change for all members of a family. Adult responsibilities are busy times when keeping track of all the tasks needed to make a move go smoothly. If you have children, this may be an important time to focus and keep their move in mind.

Sometimes what seems like a major disruption to grownups is viewed as an adventure to the kids. Still, changing homes can also change feelings of stability (in the case of younger children) and belonging (in the case of teens). These are special concerns for these age groups.

According to ERA Justin Realtor salesperson Daniel Jones, “The most important thing a parent can do is maintain positive routines as much as possible, to let the kids know that a big life change is normal, too. Try to keep calm about the move yourself, and your children will be more likely to follow your lead. It is advisable to be open about what’s happening and how everyone is  excited about the move.

This means keeping your kids in the loop at each stage of the move. They don’t have to get a vote, but it helps everyone for them to get increasingly use to the idea of this change. Bring them along when you look at houses, make them familiar with the new area you’re moving to, and investigate its attractions (including the athletic or extra-curricular offerings that appeal to your kids). Exploring some of this on the Internet is a good way to relate your relocation to an activity they already enjoy.

Encourage your children to express any worries, and do what you can to reassure them. If you went through similar experiences as a child, you can share how you dealt with it, if it was easy, so much the better, and if it was hard, your children will know they're not the only ones who have ever had to deal with change.  
 
Minimizing transitions and heading off family concerns are each essential to a smooth move with children. Try and arrange visits to the new school and meetings with the new teachers before the school year or semester starts. When you have more than one child, make bedroom assignments in the new house as soon as possible to avoid sibling strife (comfort, privacy and age seniority are all issues of kid politics that it is sometimes easy for grownups to forget).

Above all, be open and patient. If you pay the right attention, you will be letting your children know that, move or no move, the most important people in their life aren't going anywhere alone.”

“There is a difference in real estate companies,” continued Jones.  “ERA Justin Realty has been your trusted name in real estate since 1950. Presenting consumer information, we believe, is in order to exceed buyers and sellers expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about, and we don’t offer just the basics.    In that way, we know that we will be  held in the highest regard.  Hundreds have put their thoughts in writing with their reviews of our services.  We have on file for the asking, ‘What people are saying’ our report of over 700 reviews and testimonials from our sellers and buyers.  No other area real estate firm offers that.  Are we proud?  Absolutely!”
