MOVING IN TO A NEW COMMUNITY

Bought a new Property and want to get to know your Neighbours? Here are a few tips to get you started and help you settle down in the new community.

Tip 1: Choose the right time to introduce yourself.

Families have family time. That is not the best time for you to go on knocking on their door and introducing you as the new neighbour that is unless you want them to hate you. Depending on the type of person you are, you can walk directly to them and talk or simply start from a warm smile, moving on to a wave and then to a Hi. In order to get them to know you better and vice versa, you need to get them in the correct time. Try to find out what time of the day they are free, relaxed or catch them outside in their front yard.

Tip 2: Equip the Man’s best Friend.

Depending on the community every property has a dog. Having a dog means that you have the perfect tool to connect and start a conversation. You can most probably get any and all information there is to about the services provided within the community for dogs and where to buy the best dog food and which vet to choose if your dog is sick.

Tip 3: The Gathering

Each morning the School bus would come in to pick up the kids. This is a great opportunity to meet the neighbours, well that is those who come out to see their children off to school.  This is also the one time where parents get a chance to breath and starting a conversation over a hot cup of coffee can make wonders for you.

There is also the option of calling in the neighbours to have a short tea party to get to know stuff like the handy man of the community or the street corners to avoid during night time. It is essential that you get to know the people around you as they can provide the insight on the community no one else can.
