1. Start Early and Strategize Your Search:
Don’t wait until the last minute to begin your home search. Atlanta boasts diverse neighborhoods, each with its own unique charm and amenities.

2. Define Your Priorities (Beyond the Number of Bedrooms):
Think beyond the basics. What are your must-haves and nice-to-haves in a new home and neighborhood? Consider:
Commute: How important is proximity to your workplace or major transportation hubs?
Lifestyle: Are you looking for a bustling urban environment, a family-friendly suburb, or a quiet, green retreat?
Amenities: What’s important to you – walkability to restaurants, access to parks, community centers, specific types of shops?
Future Needs: Consider your long-term plans. Will your housing needs change in the coming years?
JNL Smart Realty Tip: We take the time to understand your lifestyle and priorities to narrow down the perfect neighborhoods and properties that truly fit your vision.
3. Line Up Local Services Before You Arrive:
Don’t wait until you’re surrounded by unpacked boxes to figure out essential services. Start researching and, where possible, setting up accounts for:
Utilities: Electricity, gas, water, internet, trash and recycling.
Banking: Consider opening an account with a local branch.
Healthcare: Research doctors, dentists, and specialists in your new area.
Transportation: Familiarize yourself with Atlanta’s public transportation options and parking regulations.
DMV/Vehicle Registration: Understand the requirements for transferring your driver’s license and vehicle registration.

Networking: If you’re moving for work, connect with colleagues and explore company-sponsored relocation resources.
