- There're several ways:
-
- 1. Contact a real-estate agent who works or has connection with
- a company that offers relocation services. This was the way
- I got the info about Atlanta areas--lot of info, more than
- I really needed.
-
- 2. Call the Chamber of Commerce of the county of your interest.
- This is the way I've just done while thinking to relocate again.
-
-
- Either way costs you nothing.
-
- When I selected the first option, I felt ethically obligated to work
- with the real-estate agent who had sent me the info package. The
- second option obligated me nothing.
-
- There's another way to find out what's going in the community if you
- don't
- mind paying for it: Subscribe to a local newspaper at least a month.
- The paper
- usually comes to you via mail. Of course, you can go to a library
- and search for the paper of your interest.
