New To D.C. is excited to announce that our website is officially live! http://new-todc.com/ This is great news because Washington, D.C. has a significant turnover rate of residents – higher than anywhere else in the country. There is always a fresh batch of people stepping off the plane, trying to make new lives for themselves here and it’s anything but easy. So many factors go into preparing for the move: packing, hiring movers, actually making the move, unpacking, settling in, acclimating to the new city, and more. If that’s not hard enough, many individuals don’t have solid contacts on the other end to consult for advice or guidance along the way. New To D.C. would like to help – we are your contact on the other end of the move, providing you with expert advice. Relocation can be a major life transition and no one should have to go through it alone.
It’s common for people to spend hours searching online for specific answers to their relocation questions, but this is a big waste of time. Not only can it suck up your time without returning the answers you need, but you can’t always trust the information that you do find. As relocation experts in D.C., we have the answers all in one place and offer credible information.
One way New To D.C. would like to simplify your move is with our Special Package Deal, which is designed to meet all your relocation needs. The Special Package Deal includes a detailed Relocation Assessment to determine your particular goals and needs, a Relocation Plan, communication with our relocation experts who can answer all your questions, and vital information on adjusting to everyday life here in D.C. The ultimate goal of the Special Package Deal is to streamline your move process, so that you can move on to more important things such as your family and new job as quickly as possible.
If you’re moving to Washington, D.C. for an internship, we didn’t forget you. We love interns! Interns have unique needs and goals, which is why we have designed a special Intern Package Deal just for you. The Intern Package Deal provides you with support on critical matters such as preparing for your move, having a successful internship experience, making friends in the District, and more.
One factor that’s critical to your success as an intern is networking. Contrary to popular belief, networking is not necessarily intuitive. There’s a right way to do it just as much as there’s a wrong way to do it, but you won’t know the difference until someone’s taught you. Coming straight from college, many students have not yet developed these muscles and that’s okay! You have to start somewhere. Our intern networking workshop: “Interning in D.C.: How to Network for Your Dream Job” provides you with the tools you need to take advantage of your limited time here and ultimately make your dreams soar.
One of the most difficult parts of moving to D.C. for both interns and career professionals is finding housing. It can be challenging because many people are unfamiliar with the neighborhoods here, making it hard to know which neighborhood would fit their needs. Plus, it can be tricky determining a frame of reference for price. Unless you’re moving from L.A. or New York, chances are that you’ll have sticker-shock to some degree. Housing in the District does not run cheap. But this doesn’t mean that you’ll end up living under a bridge; it just means that you will need to seek out assistance. New To D.C. has a wealth of information on this important topic and would like to help you reach the point of signing a lease or buying a home.
To help you reach that point, we offer a housing-vetting service that will serve as a tremendous asset to you. Sometimes new residents are unable to fly or drive out to D.C. before they move here and are forced to commit to housing, sight-unseen. But you really should know just exactly what you’re getting into, with more than just a small, grainy picture from Craigslist to go by. If you provide us with addresses of apartments or houses that you would like viewed, then our relocation experts will meet with the landlord or real estate agent to check out the property. We will take pictures of the inside and outside, report back to you on measurements, roommates if there are any, the surrounding neighborhood, and anything else you want to know. Although we have to charge for this service, it still has the potential to save you hundreds of dollars on plane tickets, gas money, and hotel charges that you would rack up on a housing-hunting trip out here. Save your time and money and let us do the work.
The website also offers detailed information on sightseeing in the District, which is just as valuable for new residents as it is for tourists. One of the best ways to learn your new city is by sightseeing, which requires you to walk around, take public transportation, and even get lost. This is how you develop an internal map of the city. Plus, one of the great things about Washington, D.C. is just when you think you’ve done it all, there are new activities and sights that surface to keep you entertained.
I hope that you come to love this city just as much as we do. You have chosen to relocate to an incredible place and we look forward to helping you make this your new home!
