As you probably know, the Northern Fairfield County Association of REALTORS® (NFCAR) strives to be your premier source of information on the listings, demographics, statistics, schools, organizations and other topics for the northern Fairfield County area. 

But maybe you didn't know that NFCAR also wants to be your primary resource for when it's time to make that big move! 

What to do first? Everyone knows that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do in your life whether across town or internationally.  Once the decision is made to move, you begin to flood yourself with questions like...  

- "What are the things I need to take into consideration for the move?"

- "Should I hire a mover?"  

- "How do we prepare the kids?" 

- "How do we manage the pets?"

- "What do we do first ... and when?"  

- "What am I forgetting?" 

We want to help!  No, we are not moving experts. But what we have done for you is research and compile the most useful advice, tips, tools, and info on the most common challenges people face when it comes time to move.  We want to help you successfully expedite one of the biggest experiences of your life! 

Keep in mind:  Overall, the best advice we can offer everyone is to seek advice from professionals related to your specific needs.
