Wow - I'd be your favourite client.  I'd want nothing from my realtor other than finding me the house that matches my criteria.  The rest is mine to discover!

Nina Hollander will probably provide you with a full list, John. We get a lot of relocation clients here and their concerns vary but I always include tips on moving across an ocean (shipping your belongings and car, etc.).

For me I'd be most concerned about lifestyle items (gym, volunteer opportunities, single life, etc.).  If I was moving for work too, I'd be concerned about traffic patterns, commute times, etc.

I'd also want to know about the typical weather patterns and area disaster concerns (earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes...), of course I'm odd that way being a disaster prepardness guy.

John,
I’m a climate and weather guy. Beyond the numbers, I want to know how comfortable it is to be outside and how often the sun shines. No surprise then that I live in Colorado Springs.

John, if you'd like to call me sometime, I will give you a quick synopsis of everything that goes into my relo packages. (Just don't call this coming week, as I'm overseas until Thursday!) Let's just say there's a lot that goes into my relo packages.

The first and most important to me is safety.  I need to be able to walk outside anytime, day or night, without fear.  It is even more important that my wife will be safe when I'm away from home.  Living in fear is not an option.
