A Not-So Stressful Move A September 20, 2020 survey from the New York Post asked 1,000 Americans what they thought the most stressful event in life was. Forty-five percent of the respondents said moving was the most stressful event they’d experienced in the three years prior to the survey. Moving in and of itself is a challenge, but when you are moving internationally — across the U.S. or to a state you’ve never even visited before — moving becomes a new level of difficulty. Many American military men and women know this stressor all too well, so it helps to use a REALTOR® who personally understands the various obstacles a military family might face as they transition.
CHANCE
As a wife of a naval officer serving at Naval Station Mayport, Allison Chance of Anchored Real Estate Group has made eight moves in the last ten years. None of them were easy, and a couple of them presented challenges she never anticipated.

Allison attended the University of Florida, where she expected to make a career in wedding and event planning. As such, she spent her last semester of college completing an internship with a catering company. “I learned so much about myself, the power of a strong work ethic, and simply working with others,” Allison recalls. Fate had different plans for her, though. While she and her husband were stationed in Hawaii, Allison decided to follow in the footsteps of her older sister, who is a commercial real estate broker in Miami. With a new baby girl added to her family, a real estate career seemed like the perfect way to combine Allison’s people and organizational skills with her desire to be present with her family.
