Your Online Relocation Package for Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Home of Fort George G. Meade, NSA, Northrop Grumman, BWI, Parsons Paper, the U.S. Naval Academy, and Maryland's State Capitol.

Sailing on the Severn, with USNA in the background

When you relocate to Maryland, you will fall in love with Anne Arundel County's stunning scenery, laid-back atmosphere, and local feasts from the Chesapeake Bay.

Anne Arundel County's convenient location, less than an hour from Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., may attract residents and businesses alike - but it's not the only reason they stay.

You'll see why residents love it here, as you explore the pages of this ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY RELOCATION PACKAGE and read some of my blog posts about communities, things to do, and the quality of life in this area.

There's no substitute for a personal visit, of course, and I hope you'll contact me soon to schedule your first house-huntiing trip. As a native Marylander and long-time REALTOR, I know the area well and look forward to giving you the grand tour of Anne Arundel County (and nearby Howard and Prince George's Counties, if you like).

In the meantime, check back often because you will find new posts added periodically.

Margaret, you've put together an excellent relocation package which should serve you and your future clients well.  I can't imagine anyone moving to Anne Arundel County choosing any other Realtor besides you.

(02/29/08 07:17AM) — Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services

Margaret-Superb!  You continue to give consumers just what they need to make a move to Anne Arundel County.

(02/29/08 08:05AM) — Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate

Hi, Brian - So many topics, not addressed yet - it's hard to imagine how I got along without this! 

Cindy - You know how I admire your posts, so your compliment means a lot.  'Just looked this over and realized that I should never post something after midnight... too many minor typos.  Hopefully they're all fixed.

(02/29/08 08:12AM) — Pamela STETSON

Terrific post! Love the layout, links and quality of the information. Thank you!

(02/29/08 10:31AM) — Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate

Thanks, Pamela - Now let's home a relocating consumer or two finds it, after all this work!

(02/29/08 10:54AM) — Natalie Langford, Winchester, VA Real Estate

Margaret.  What a great and comprehensive post.  The fall photo is absolutely amazing!   You're lucky to live where you do!

(03/03/08 05:01AM) — Fairbanks Real Estate Broker Jesse Clifton

Margaret, I have to say, you're setting the bar pretty darn high with this one.  Very nice. 

(03/03/08 06:41AM) — Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate

Jesse & Kathy - Once I got started, I kept thinking of things that newcomers would want to know... and I threw in that Maryland in Films post, just for fun.

Natalie - That photo is exactly what it looks like in October, along the water!  Thanks for your comment.

(03/13/08 09:01PM) — Debra A. Brooks Lake Livingston Waterfront Specialist

(07/18/08 06:48AM) — Donna Yates, Georgia Realtor North Georgia Blue Ridge Real Estate

Margaret:  I know a great deal of care and work went into this one.  If I were moving to your area, this post along with hiring you as my agent would be all I could ever need.

(08/07/08 07:33AM) — Pam Dent -Charlottesville, Albemarle,VA horse farms, residential, country homes

Margaret - This is the perfect tool for buyers.  You have everything.  I cannot see why they would go anywhere else for information.  I would bet that this brings you a lot of clients.

(08/19/08 08:37PM) — Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate

Donna, this is one of the best things I've done since starting on ActiveRain, in terms of producing results.  I'm gonna have to put together some additional summary posts.


Pam, I hope they agree!  LOL.  Yes, it has brought some business my way, and I'm expanding the home search links, which may help more.

(08/28/08 08:20AM) — Thom Abbott, GRI Associate Broker Midtown Atlanta Real Estate

Margaret:  Awesome Creation! I've got alot work (and blogging) to have a Relo Package like this! But you've given me some fantastic ideas!


Thanks again!

(08/28/08 08:30AM) — Margaret Woda, Maryland Real Estate

Thom, just imagine what you'd want to know if you suddenly found out you were moving to Hoopeston, Illinois - Home of the Annual Sweet Corn Festival and the National Sweetheart Pageant (a great place to visit)... Is that far enough from Atlanta geographically and culturally?   Answers to the questions you would have about that are what consumers want for your area.  Simple.
