Search This Blog

If you were one of these special people, what would YOUR Google search look like?

Part Two is easiest: 

I would want to find in relation to where I'd be working: 

- Traffic Patterns (Congestion Blackspots & Bottlenecks Bridges/Work/ Sport/Entertainment etc) and Public Transport options 
- Weather & Environmental 
- Utility options 
- Crime Patterns - where is safe, where is not 
- Schools, Chidcare & Recreation Facilities 
- Entertainment & Shopping incl Music, Theatre, Art, etc.. 
- Real Estate Value for Money - which areas were up & coming, new vs old, trendy vs comfort, tech built in etc. 

What would be useful to find on a real estate site 
- Relocation services 
- Community info/Maps Locations - eg Kansas City Kansas vs Missouri 
- Commuting times (peak and off-peak hours etc) 
- Tax Differences living/purchasing in one state or the 
other (assuming there are some) 

Part One: Search Terms - at least how I have spent three minutes. 

1. Google Earth - I've chosen 64111-2416 because it 
was the first employer's zip code I could find. 
2. "relocating to kansas city" yielded - l (you might learn something from their site about the kinds of information they provide to get a page one result) 
http://www.kansas-city-home.com/kansas.htm 
- http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/ 
- http://www.prukc.com/Relocating/ToKC.aspx 


Given the information I just found in under three minutes, I'd think about my options and the costs associated with each 
- buy before I moved 
- rent whilst trying to sell/looking 
- investment options 

Part Three: How I would choose: 

1. Earn my trust. 
2. Establish a service with the company relocating me. 

If I was moving to Kansas, I'd want to find someone who could HELP ME.
