Reimagine where you live and work.
The wave of the future is living and working wherever you please. But, with more than 20,000 cities and towns in the United States and Canada to choose from, how do you know which place is right for you?

Your first step to finding the right place to live starts here.
This FREE quiz will point your search for the right place to live in the right direction by making sure you focus on the type of place that’s most compatible with who you are and how you want to live.

Hi! I’m Margaret Vandergriff.
I founded Your Place Finder to help location-independent midlife women like you take the guesswork out of your search for the right place to live, so you can finally stop dreaming about – and start enjoying – the life you want in a place you love.
I know you’re longing to find a place that better supports the life you want – a place where you can meet new people, explore new interests, and enjoy new adventures. And, with the advent of remote work, this is prime time to move if where you’re living now is not meeting your needs.
The kicker?
With so many possibilities and so much hype everywhere, you’re having trouble figuring out which place is right for you.
Naturally, you want to be happy living in the place you choose. You don’t want to make the wrong decision and move someplace that ends up being a dud. Who has time or money to waste on a wrong move – especially in midlife?
But since you’re not sure HOW to be sure about your decision, instead of making steady progress toward your goal of a new life in an exciting new place, you – and your search – are stuck in neutral.

Lucky for you, my signature PlaceFinder program has everything you need to unstick your search for the
right place to live:
- Data-driven prospect identification and research tools to help you cut through all the online (and offline) opinions and noise and stay focused on the important stuff: your priorities, needs, interests and goals.
- A consultant with 30 years of prospect identification and research expertise to track down your most promising place prospects online for you (or provide expert guidance if you’d rather DIY your online research) so you can save oodles of time and frustration and relax knowing you’re getting the best results.
- A step-by-step plan to scout out each place on your short list in person and objectively evaluate the results of your scouting visits, so that you have all the information you need to make the best possible decision about where to move.
So, if you’re fed up with feeling stuck where you are and you’re ready to fully embrace your location independence, head on over here to learn how the PlaceFinder program can help you find an exciting new place to live in no time!

-Beth Nelson, Technical Writer
"Margaret helped me think through what I really want in my community and make the best the decision for the kind of life I want to lead. Without this process, I probably would have just moved to the first place that seemed like kind of a fit. Highly recommended!!"
