Free Relocation Assistance

Where to live will have a huge bearing upon where you find a job. Unless you enjoy long commutes, you should use the Online and print version of the SAN DIEGAN to help you find the right suburb as close to your work as possible. And if at all possible, where you like should be as close to the ocean as possible mainly because why would you move to San Diego if you don’t like cool ocean breezes, having a Starbuck’s Coffee while looking at the ocean or riding your bike along the boardwalk in your new bikini swimsuit. So this generally means finding a good realtor to help you find the perfect home in paradise. Thus the relocation chapter and the real estate chapter will help.

However, a lot of savvy newcomers opt to rent before they buy. Thus, if you have not found a job upon arrival consider living in central San Diego.

Then over the next few months, with the use of the SAN DIEGAN print version, you’ll be able to discover where you want to live. And if that includes purchasing a home, the realtors we have hand picked can assist you.
