For years, I knew that I did not want to stay in the Northeast but up until now I haven't felt like I was ready or had a good excuse to take the plunge and move.I have been reducing the amount of "stuff" in my life for years to the point where I can now fit everything that I own in (or on) my 2011 Honda Fit.I have paid off all of my debt, have over 6 months of my current spending in cash, and have a current NW around $282k with $120k of that in a taxable account.I have a stable job as a Data Analyst that I have been working remote with since the pandemic hit.I am single with no children or pets (but do have 2 small house plants)I love walking, cycling, mountain biking, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking... basically all things active and outdoors.I like to reduce the amount of my personal consumption and focus on the important things in life such as my relationships, health, and finances.I am that guy in the neighborhood that always walks or bikes everywhere although I have a great car parked in the driveway.Anyway, a good friend of mine asked what I thought about moving out west with him.

This is not a common niche for an agent so it is always good to find an agent who specializes in this to help you get offers accepted.Does your lender call the listing agent to connect on each for your offers to vouch for the strength of your offer and give you a fighting chance against multiple other offers?
