If you’re considering a move to Calgary, the process can be relatively smooth with careful planning:

  1. Start by researching the various neighborhoods to find one that suits your preferences and needs. Consider factors like proximity to work, schools, and recreational amenities.
  2. Next, make a budget that includes the cost of living, housing, and potential relocation expenses.
  3. Based on your financial situation and current economy, decide whether it would be best for you to rent your current residence or sell it to move the equity into your next home. Reach out to your Realtor and begin the process of selling your current residence, if applicable.  
  4. Begin the Calgary home search. Reach out to myself, Parminder Mand, to get started with the home search process in order to find a property that best suits your needs and criteria.
