Simsbury offers modern shopping, dining, and entertainment venues among beautiful, historic settings. Local restaurants cater to your most divergent tastes, serving everything from fine dining to traditional pizza.

For your entertainment, the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center showcases iconic performers, holiday celebrations, and movies under the stars. Simsbury Culture, Park & Recreation provides family-friendly art, culture, and activities in facilities throughout town. If you love communing with nature but crave more adventure, the Farmington River runs right through Simsbury- perfect for kayaking and canoeing.

Among the mix of historic and modern residences, you’ll discover a home that matches your taste and style.

Our Simsbury Relocation Guide

At Brooke Group Real Estate, we understand that relocating is often stressful. We work closely with you to make the process as stress-free as possible. Our buyer’s agents provide advice, assistance, and service during your initial consultation, your home search, your closing, and beyond. We’ve created a brief guide with tips and information to help you through the process of relocating to Simsbury.

1

CONTACT A REAL ESTATE AGENT

Contacting a Real Estate Agent when you first learn that you’ll be relocating to Simsbury is crucial. When you contact Brooke Group Real Estate, we take immediate steps to assist you in your search. We assess your home-buying requirements and use our resources to locate compatible properties.

2

SHARE YOUR HOME-BUYING GOALS WITH YOUR AGENT

You probably know what you want even before you begin your search. Once we understand your home buying goals, we focus on looking for specific property types and targeting those that meet your specifications.

3

VISIT BEFORE RELOCATING

You get a better feel for a home when you take a tour. An in-person visit allows you to see important details you might not notice in a print or online ad. We recommend extending your stay for a day or two so you can get a feel for the town and the people who will make up the community.

If you can’t visit before relocating to Simsbury, online listings often provide media presentations. Many include high definition photos, walkthrough videos, or 3D virtual tours. The right media presentation could make you feel confident enough to make a choice without seeing a property in person.

4

HIRE A PROFESSIONAL MOVER

DIY moving is an economical option but it can easily cause “relocation burnout”. Relocating to Simsbury (or anywhere!) may often be stressful. Movers help you reduce that stress. They pack everything, load everything, and drive it to your location. When they arrive at your destination they put everything exactly where you want it.

5

BEGIN ESTABLISHING YOUR RESIDENCY

Relocating to Simsbury requires that you establish new relationships. You should begin making connections before you move. Here are a few key contacts to help make it easier

These are just a few of the services you’ll need to access when you’re relocating to Simsbury. For additional information, visit the Simsbury, “How Do I?” page.

6

SELL YOUR CURRENT HOME

Arranging to have your home sold is one of the most difficult things you’ll have to do before relocating to Simsbury. If you’re moving because of a job, you won’t likely have enough time to sell your home. You might not even have enough to get it on the market!

When you contact us about relocating, we can also connect you with one of our associates in your area. You’ll have a Real Estate Professional working with you on both ends to make your home buying and selling go as smoothly as possible.
