Using your L3Harris relocation package
We work with every relocation company
Nichole Barna and I help relocating employees and their families settle on the Space Coast all the time, and we work with all the relocation companies. If your move comes with a relocation package, just give your relocation coordinator our names, Rachel Langley and Nichole Barna at Blue Marlin Real Estate, and we are happy to sign the referral paperwork.
A few things I tell every relocating buyer: read your package before you house hunt so you know what is covered and what deadlines apply, get pre-approved early, and if your start date is tight, think about renting for a few months while you learn the area. I help you find the right neighborhood either way.
