A simple “Pick Your Path” section

1) I’m relocating and need to narrow down where to live

Start with the city guides below — each one is built to help you choose areas based on daily life, commute, schools, and budget (without overwhelm).

 

Relocation Guides

 

TRIAD GUIDES (city living + easy commuting, hospitals, universities)

 

HIGH COUNTRY GUIDES (mountains, cooler temps, views, cabins, second homes)

 

TRIANGLE GUIDE (bigger job market, tech, more metro feel)

 

2) I’m moving soon and need homes to look at now

Tell us your price range + must-haves and we’ll send a short list that actually fits your life.

          Quick request options (choose one):

          “Send me 3 homes in my budget in (area).”

          "Give me a price range for homes in (area) with (beds/baths).”
