Very true, but here’s a TIP. Don't say your coming from Texas. After I mentioned that either A: no one response back or B: They say that they already found someone and they sound rude about it by e-mail.
So what I ended up doing was POST on Craigslist that I plan to be coming on such and such date (not mention from Texas
) and what I was willing to pay just for a room, bathroom and closet space. I would not need to eat, use there kitchen ect.
I got plenty of response that they can hold it for me. Then I e-mailed I was coming from TEXAS. None responded back!! No LIE!!
==== You know the funny thing is.... one gentleman posted his home (5 bedroom home). He was the only one welcoming me w/ open arms and I knew why. His family was from Texas (which I also told him I was). We hit it off great by both e-mail and phone (even swapped pictures and told him my ethnicity/so even diversity was no issue w/ him) So that's where my temporarily home will be when I arrive there w/o my family.
nathalie.pearson - as for your hubby, I would not mention the he's from Texas on Craigslist, you will for SURE get a better response. I just feel this way about it. I am starting to believe my dad’s situation when he was located in Aurora (job) and the co-workers found out he was from Texas and they totally disrespect him b/c they say bad things about Texas. Guess where they are now? As for me, I am not there for the people but for my family. I will not mention to anyone, even at the church where I am from. I think it’s best I say we’re from CoS (which we originally are). I am tired of being so honest and all I get is %$#@&^%$#$#@$^*
. LOL!!
If your hubby were looking more in the N. Denver area, I would probably do a room-share apartment/split w/ him. No problem at all.
** Oh this is on ROOM SHARE (when others are looking for roommates). This is not w/ leasing agents at apartments complex like studio / loft apartments.
(( No, this is not saying all Denver'ites are like that, it's just my honest opinion what I experienced so far for relocation experience))
Even here in Austin, when I see out of State plates or Colorado plates I come up by by them and honk and wave. They wave back and smile HUGE!!
