A useful plan starts with your priorities
Start with your reporting address
Confirm the office, hospital, plant, shipyard gate or other location where you will report. Ask about days on site and expected hours. A corporate mailing address may differ from the place where you begin each workday.
Compare the route as well as the home
Hampton Roads includes cities on both sides of the harbor. When comparing Newport News or Hampton with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake or Suffolk, identify any bridge or tunnel on the actual route. Use current travel information at the times you expect to drive instead of treating a citywide commute estimate as a promise.
Check the details at the property address
Compare home features and costs against your priorities. Review applicable association documents, parking provisions and property condition. Use official flood and municipal property resources for the exact address, and confirm insurance questions with an insurance professional. If school assignment is relevant to your search, verify it through the appropriate public school system or official locator.
Give the move a practical timeline
Share your arrival date, showing availability and any deadlines you already have. Decide whether you need an interim housing arrangement while you evaluate a purchase. Confirm any employer relocation benefits and approved-provider requirements with your employer or relocation administrator before making commitments.
Let’s plan your move around you.
Tell Burchette Homes where you will work, when you expect to arrive and what you want from your next home. We can help you compare properties around those priorities.

Questions about this guide
Do you work for these employers?
No. Burchette Homes provides independent real estate assistance. The employer names identify publicly listed local workplaces; these pages do not represent an employer partnership.
Can you confirm my relocation benefits?
Your employer or relocation administrator must confirm benefits, eligibility and any approved-provider requirements. Burchette Homes does not administer those arrangements.
Does every listed employer pay moving expenses?
Relocation arrangements vary by employer and role. Confirm benefits, eligibility and any approved-provider requirements directly with your employer or relocation administrator.
Can you help if my employer is not listed?
Contact Burchette Homes with your worksite, move timing and housing preferences. A useful search starts with your circumstances rather than a particular employer name.
