MyCityMatch worked for me!

​

After years of education and training my wife and I were finally ready to settle down, we just had to decide where!  We spent hours looking at every aspect of our lives and how they would differ in each potential city we were considering.  After four years living in the suburbs of a big city I wanted our next home to have a short commute, a lighter work schedule and nicer weather.  My wife was looking for a city where we could have a garage, space for the kids to play, close to family, and a Costco nearby.  Our list of must-haves, wants, and hopes was long and diverse.  While researching each city, there was a combination of excitement at the prospect of moving somewhere new, but also moments of fear and anxiety about how well our family of 4 would fit in a new place.

​

It was in this setting that MyCityMatch was born.  We had this long list of must haves, wants, and hopes, but we found it hard to compare between cities.  At times we found ourselves putting far too much weight on the value of very small details that, in the grand scheme, were not that important.

​

The beauty of MyCityMatch is that it allowed us to put a number to each our mixed feelings, helping us to visualize what was important to us.  It allowed us to separate each must have, want, and hope and independently decide how much weight both my wife and I wanted to give that item in our decision of where to move  We still had to research each city to decide how well each item we listed matched each location, but that part became easy once we knew exactly what we were looking for!

​

After devising and using the MyCityMatch city ratings and budget by city tools, my wife and I felt confident and comfortable with our decision!  The MyCityMatch system helped us see how good of a fit this city would be for our family compared to all of our options and it has been nothing less than a perfect match for us!
