BRAC Relocation
BRAC Relocating to Maryland, whether you are moving to Harford County, Baltimore or any other town foreign to you and your family, it may feel like you have left the planet. There is a good possibility that you do not have a lot of choices when it comes to moving to Maryland and feel as if you have lost control. Having moved a dozen times in my life I can say without a doubt, that “I hate moving”. We understand relocation to Maryland or any other state away from familiar territory is not easy, so the best we can do is make it as pleasant and painless as possible.
How do we accomplish that? Fear comes from the unknown, so it is true that information is power. We could send you a relocation guide, but from my experience they are designed to sell advertising more than provide really valuable information. Sure you can find a mover, realtor and coffee shop. You can find homes for sale Maryland or a Mayland Rental but what is really important to you? If you are with BRAC, you already have a job so your priorities include security, communities, neighborhoods, schools, convenience and housing. Not necessarily in that order, depending on where you are in life.
The best that we can do is give you all of that at one online location. You get, real time market trends, demographics, education and much more. This is a free service that comes without obligation. If you desire human empathy and assistance from a long time resident with decades of real estate experience in Maryland, it is also available at no cost to you.
The good news, there is comfort in numbers, you are not alone. By 2011 the Base Realignment And Closure relocation from Fort Monmouth New Jersey to Aberdeen Proving Grounds is expected to be completed. Between now and then an estimated 28,000 new jobs will be created and an estimated 60,000 new residents will be living in and around our area.
“BRAC” is an acronym that stands for Base Realignment and Closure. It is the congressionally authorized process Department of Defense has previously used to reorganize its base structure to more efficiently and effectively support our forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways of doing business. The most recent iteration of base realignment was enacted as federal law in November 2005 as is known as BRAC 2005.
You will find a variety of options to live, work, learn, and play here in the Maryland, either as an employee of a Department of Defense command relocating due to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), a defense contractor supporting those commands, or a business owner seeking BRAC-related opportunities.
It may not seem so now, but you will come to enjoy living in Maryland. There is a saying that goes “when in Rome do like the Romans”. The keys to success are learning to love eating steamed crabs (best served with ice cold beer on a hot summer day), experience boating on the Chesapeake and get used to being called “Hon”.
