Relocating to Calgary?

As a CERC certified relocation specialist, Anne is experienced and qualified to help you in your transition! In addition to her professional experience, Anne has personally experienced a cross-country relocation when she moved to Calgary from Toronto.

Calgary is a growing cosmopolitan city with well over 1 million people. It is located just a half hour drive away from the Rocky Mountains and has a temperate climate with four distinctly beautiful seasons. Economically, Calgary is the energy capital of Canada and hosts the second highest concentration of corporate headquarters outside of Toronto. Here are some things to consider when relocating to Calgary:

1. If you are coming from outside of Canada
   • Relocating from another country is often a large undertaking with many decisions to be made! Make sure that you have looked into immigration requirements, local money & banking systems, schools for you children, language education (if applicable) and more! With so many decisions to be made, Anne Lindsay can help you in your home decisions and explain the home buying process in detail.
2. If you are coming from within Canada
   • Above and beyond the usual moving lists, cross-country or even cross-province relocations add a few extras to your moving 'to do' lists!
   • Ensure that you have informed your bank, insurance company, post office, vet, doctor & dentist, and utilities companies of your new address.
   • Look for a home ahead of time by searching online! This will help you get an idea of value and availability of homes when you arrive. Anne can help in this process by setting up a search that will keep you updated of options within your preferred area and price range. For more information, call 403.663.9878 or email homes@annemlindsay.com
3. Know the Cost of Living Comparisons
   • Calgary is not the most or the least expensive city in Canada. Therefore your cost of living will probably be changing when you relocate here. Investigate the costs before you arrive to avoid surprises!
   • Anne can help with the cost of home buying information! If you would like more information on the cost of buying a home in Calgary and the monthly statistics put out by the Calgary Real Estate Board on the home price in Calgary, Contact Anne today.
4. Know your Moving Timeline
   • In moving cross-country, possession dates become an extra important aspect of any purchase/sale contract. Ensure that you have enough time to pack up and move into your next home!
   • If you have the opportunity to visit Calgary before you arrive permanently, it is a great opportunity to explore the city and view some potential homes. Anne works flexibly with her clients' schedules and can help you find a home on your visit here.
