Re: Migration Agent / Relocation Services?


I am a US citizen and my husband and I will be moving to Portland
Oregon once we sort out his Green Card and passports for our
children. We're looking at a moving date sometime in February/March
of next year.

I am looking for a Migration Agent, someone who can help with the
whole moving package, work, place to live, schools, relocation animals
and our belongings etc. I obviously don't know the right search terms
for these people as Google keeps giving me just removal companies
which isn't what I'm after.

I'm pretty sure that an agent will be beyond our price range for
everything we need but perhaps they will be able to help with one or
two areas (mainly work/houses) which are the hardest to do at a
distance.

Any other help/ideas also greatly appreciated. I've not lived in the
States since I was 12 and we'll be going with a 4 year old, a baby, 2
cats and a dog so things will be a big manic!

Thanks for any help!

hey AshesUK,
You must've forgotten how nice people in the PNW are. :) Lots of
folks will help you with the work/living situation online, and there
are several resources that make it easy. Portland is still very fast-
growing, and there are a lot of folk reclocating here without
visiting first.

The daily newspaper with its classified ads can be found here:
www.oregonlive.com
The weekly alternative paper and its online classifieds is here:
www.wweek.com
The latest greatest that none of us can live without is here:
http://portland.craigslist.org/

Those three links should get you rolling on contacts and reading should
give you an idea about neighborhoods etc.

Feel free to send me a message or email if you need some other leads.

PS: to actually answer your question.. I dont' know anyone who
specializes in just doing that.. maybe you've opened a new line of
business for me! :)
