Plan Your Move
Moving to Northeast Tennessee? Start with the Community that Fits Your Plans.
A move is about more than finding a house. You’re also choosing where you’ll spend your time, how far you’ll travel for work and everyday needs, and what kind of home and setting feel right for you.
Ed and Karin are a husband-and-wife real estate team based in Jonesborough, Tennessee. We help buyers and sellers across Northeast Tennessee, including Washington, Greene, Carter, Sullivan, and Unicoi counties. We’re glad to help you get oriented, talk through your priorities, and explore the communities you’re considering.
Get to Know the Communities
Start with the regional guide for a broad look at Northeast Tennessee, then explore Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol and Sullivan County, Jonesborough, Greeneville, Elizabethton, and Erwin and Unicoi County.
Our free interactive guides bring together local information and resources to help you compare places and plan your move. They’re a starting point for your own research, and we’re happy to help with questions that come up along the way.
What Should You Compare When Choosing Where to Live?
Start with the things that matter most to your household. How much time do you want to spend commuting? Are you looking for a home in town, more land, or a particular style of property? Which everyday destinations do you want nearby? What price range and monthly payment fit your plans?
Once you know your priorities, it’s easier to compare communities and narrow your home search. We can help you understand the local housing search and identify questions to research as you decide where to focus.
Can You Help If We’re Moving from Out of State?
Yes. Many people begin planning before they can visit in person. We can help you explore the region, use the relocation guides, and discuss what you want in a home and community. When you’re ready, we can talk through next steps for your search.
Veterans Resources
Moving to Northeast Tennessee as a Veteran, service member, or military family? Explore our Veterans Resources for VA homebuyer FAQs, official resources, and local guidance.
When Should We Contact a Local Agent?
You can reach out while you’re still exploring. An early conversation can help you organize your questions, understand the home-search process, and make a plan for learning about the communities on your list. There’s no need to have every detail settled before you start asking questions.
Let’s Find Your Starting Point
Have a community in mind—or still comparing a few? Tell us where you’re considering and what you hope to find. With HEART and a bit of HUMOR, we’ll help you feel At Home with Ed & Karin.
