Tips for Relocating
By A. Michael Del Duca
Prudential New Jersey Properties
A new career opportunity sometimes means relocating your family to another city. Careful consideration of various factors, such as your partner’s career, the effect on the children’s educational and recreational activities, and financial constraints all impact the decision to move.
Additional responsibilities crop up when moving to a new home, including getting the house up and running, finding the right school for the kids and getting them acclimated, and getting adjusted to life in a new town. These tasks can be incredibly overwhelming, especially in a new location without the aide of family and friends.
Here are some tips to help relieve the stress of relocation and turn your move into a successful endeavor.
• Take your time. As with all moves, there are so many things you need to do once you relocate into your new home. From dealing with utility companies, to finding a new doctor, to unpacking and decorating the new residence, your to-do list may seem endless. Don’t try to accomplish everything at once. Make a list and divide it into three categories: immediate, secondary and down the road. Set your own timetable because you are the boss of this project and the only person you have to please is yourself.
• Get out and meet people. More than likely, you won’t know many people in your new community. Besides introducing yourself to neighbors, you can find a place of worship, volunteer in a community organization, join a social club or gym, or just say hello to people.
• Reevaluate your career goals. If you had to leave a job behind, check to see if your company offers any employment assistance for relocating partners. Many companies have formal and informal programs, offering as little as resume support to as much as arranging job interviews. If you’ve desired to make a career change, this could perfect opportunity to do so. You may even want to consider an entrepreneurial career that you can take anywhere.
• Talk to your real estate professional. Your real estate professional can be a great resource as he or she has a strong understanding of the area you just moved to. They will have insight on the area’s job market and may be able to give you names of career counselors or just help you feel comfortable in your new surroundings.
Most importantly, don’t push yourself by setting unrealistic goals. Moving is a process and it will take time for you to get acclimated to your new home and community. So, make this move not only a golden opportunity for your partner, but for yourself as well.

Pru New Jersey’s Fifth Annual Golf Invitational Raises $40,000 for The Sunshine Kids
SOMERSET, NJ (AUGUST 20, 2007) – With more than 300 guests in attendance, Prudential New Jersey Properties proudly hosted their Fifth Annual Golf Invitational earlier this summer at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster to benefit The Sunshine Kids—a non-profit organization committed to providing positive group activities and emotional support for young cancer patients across North America. Former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman served as the event’s first honorary chairperson and joined other distinguished guests including: Prudential Financial chairman and CEO, Arthur Ryan; Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services chairman and CEO, John Van Der Wall; Prudential Real Estate Affiliates president, Laurie Keenan; WCBS-TV meteorologist, John Bolaris; several members of the New Jersey Devils hockey team including Jim Dowd, Brian Rafanalski, Rob Skrlac and assistant coach, John MacLean; and the 2007 National Sunshine Kids Foundation SpokesKid, Nick Reyna. As a result of the day’s golfing, awards dinner, sponsorships, silent auctions and raffles, the event raised $40,000.
“It was a fabulous day. The sky cleared, we were able to complete all 18 holes and we had a wonderful time at the awards dinner,” said Whitman. “As someone who has always been sensitive to causes that assist children with cancer, I have been proud to participate in Pru New Jersey’s golf invitational over the years and meet some of the extraordinary children right here in our area who benefit from the work of The Sunshine Kids organization. The Prudential team has always touched me with the energy and compassion they share for this wonderful cause. I was touched to be the company’s first honorary chairperson for the event and I look forward to supporting many more Pru New Jersey fundraisers in the years to come.”
Since its inception in 2003, Pru New Jersey’s annual golf invitational has raised nearly $200,000 for The Sunshine Kids and boosted the company’s total contributions to nearly half a million dollars in less than seven years. As the foundation of choice for Prudential Real Estate Affiliates nationwide, The Sunshine Kids organization received more than $2.3 million from fundraising efforts throughout the affiliate network in 2006.
“Our annual golf invitational continues to be a great opportunity to raise money and awareness for this exceptional organization,” noted William O. Keleher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Prudential New Jersey Properties. “Thanks to our team of volunteers, each year’s event grows larger and garners more community and company participation. This year, I was really humbled by the spirit of cooperation and commitment among those in our Pru New Jersey family who volunteered countless hours to make our event a success, particularly our event’s founders and co-chairs, Dillon Bryant and Courtney Orlando, and our Sunshine Kids Committee chairperson Patty Bishop and all our office liaisons who work nine months out of every year to make the golf invitational happen. This year was our biggest and best yet thanks to our very special guests and the hundreds of others who donated to this great cause.”
