Whether you are an old hat at moving or this is your first time, we are sure you could use a few helpful hints. We have met the challenges of moving for many years (moving with the military plus being a military Relocation Manager for 11 years) and to help you get off to an easier start we can share some of our experiences and hints that might make your move a great experience. Being well organized will probably save your sanity. Make lists!!! Get a spiral notebook - having all your pertinent information in one place will save you time from searching and save you problems. The first thing you want to do is get your tape measure and measure all your large pieces of furniture. WHY? Because when you get on the phone or email with a realtor you will need to have decided how much room you are going to need in your new home!!! Before military members seek off-base accommodations, they are required to process through the Housing Referral Office (Bldg 714, Commercial 580-213-7438, DSN 448-7438) for a briefing and counseling. BUYING A HOME  Consider the following points of home shopping:adequate square footage sunny and comfortable rooms sound walls, floors and good carpentry good lighting and ventilation lots of cabinets and counter space in the kitchen amount of closets and storage areas throughout the house good electrical, heating and cooling system garage or carport doors, windows and drawers that work easily and safely efficient plumbing safe stairs and handrails good landscaping good water source and water pressure good roof, gutters and downspouts sidewalks for busy streets well cared for surrounding properties and nice views If you are moving with a company, they sometimes offer you a home finding trip. If not you can usually find most of what you need on the internet or through people you will be working with. Your realtor will be one of the best sources of information so don't hesitate to ask questions. Take a look at some photos of Enid..You will want a list of phone numbers to help you become familiar with your new community and just incase, what you need for emergencies. If you are military and want to see photos of Vance and need info, check Vance info. You can also contact your Family Readiness Center (580-213-7120). You can view current happenings in the base newspaper The Scoop and there is information on the base website. Military can also get official info online on Vance and other military installations at: AF Crossroads. Get phone numbers/addresses for hospitals and minor emergency clinics, pharmacies, physicians, and dentists. (Before you move Don't forget to get or have transferred your and your families medical records, prescriptions or your pets medical records). You will also need addresses and phone numbers for utility companies.Find a realtor or real estate agency. Be sure and ask them to send you a city map and city brochure or call the Chamber of Commerce for one. If you feel you need to check on moving insurance, call an agent. You can also check the Automated Housing Referral Network for housing. Check out the information on schools (if applicable and don't forget to pick up your child's school records if you decide to move). You might also need to look into child care services. Another important feature are the many local churches and things for kids to do, parks and sports.If you don't already have a job and are looking or have a spouse that might like to have a job once you move here, check out our jobs page. If you or your spouse needs information on licensing (professional or occupational) check our licensing page..If you are a volunteer kind of person, check out Enid's volunteer opportunities. Check into Enid clubs and organizations. If you like to work out you will want to know about Fitness and Gyms or golf courses. You might also want to see Enid's attractions, entertainment, the music sceneand the Enid calendar of events.You will need phone numbers and locations for banks,, the post office (don't forget to pick up your change of address packet from your local post office) grocery stores, and your favorite type of restaurant.Check out city laws for pets and licenses, get vet phone numbers and addresses. Also check on state license plates and drivers license costs. Here is information if you need hotels and motels that accept pets . Also if you are moving to Enid and need a nice pet check out our Save-A-Pet page. Look into local internet providers so you can easily keep in touch with your family and friends after the move.If you have
a senior citizen moving with your family you may need information
on senior living facilities, nursing homes and senior volunteering.If you plan on living in a mobile home see our mobile parks listings.RENTING (Apartments & Houses) If you are going to be renting you need to check into a few items or ask your home finder these questions: Are the
