About a week ago, I received a call from a friend of mine who lives in Worcester, Massachusetts. Pronounced “Wuss-Ter”. I know, I know, something about their funny dialect back in New England. So anyway, he gave me a call to let me know his company’s office is closing. I’d like to say I was dumbfounded but with the number of layoffs happening in the U.S. it was more disheartening for me to hear it. Something was off though, he didn’t seem to be upset. In fact, he seemed delighted.
I asked, “So, from the way you sound, you must have gotten a good lay off package, huh?” He laughed, responding, “No, we are relocating and my department is relocating to our San Diego office.” And then he asked me to help him with a few furnished apartments San Diego. No problem. That’s what I do.
He and his family are moving to America’s Finest City as soon as they sell their house, which could be a bit so he needs a smaller two-bedroom furnished apartment in San Diego. He is fortunate because they have owned the house for nearly fifteen years, and are far from underwater on their loan. It should sell quickly.
Obviously I will work closely with him until he finds the right spot…and blog about his experience!
