Tip: Welcome New Neighbors
Jan/11/2013 02:37 PM Filed in: Tips
Make your neighborhood feel like the friendly inviting place that your new neighbors imagined when they purchased their home.
Your neighborhood only gets one chance to make a first impression.
Simple Acts Go A Long Way:
- Introduce yourself
- Keep the initial conversation short – Moving is busy and stressful; don’t add to it.
- Print a neighborhood directory from the website (Premium Only)
- Offer to help unload – If professional movers are not involved, extra hands unloading the truck are helpful
- Provide the necessary information to login and become a member of the website
- Be careful sharing warm memories about the previous owners. (This is their home now)
- Deliver a hot meal with disposable plates/utensils (Their kitchen may not be unpacked yet)
- Provide a calendar with HOA meetings, local events, trash collection schedule, etc. (Make this a page on the website)
- Recognize new move-ins at your next HOA or Neighborhood meeting
- Create a page on the website with a picture of the new family and a bio (Premium Only)
Keep smiling and greeting your new neighbors every time you see them. A neighbor who feels valued and accepted is more likely to be a positive addition to your community.
