Best Space Coast Realtors for Aerospace Relocations 2026 | Honest Review

If you're relocating to the Space Coast for aerospace work, you need an agent who understands your specific needs. Here's an honest look at your options—including my competitors.

Yes, I'm including other agents. Why? Because I believe in transparency, and because the right fit matters more than "winning" every client. If another agent is better for your situation, you should know.

What to Look for in a Relocation Agent

Before reviewing specific agents, here's what matters when choosing:

• Experience with remote buyers: Can they effectively show homes via video? Do they understand electronic closings?
• Local market knowledge: Do they know commute times to KSC, which neighborhoods flood, which condo buildings have issues?
• Understanding of aerospace timelines: Start dates aren't flexible. Can they work on your schedule?
• Insurance and flood zone expertise: This catches many relocators. Your agent should flag issues before you make offers.
• Communication style: Are they responsive to texts/calls across time zones?

Top Agents/Teams for Aerospace Relocations

1. The Carpenter Kessel Team (Compass)

Specialization: Luxury and waterfront properties, barrier island expertise

Strengths: #1 team in Brevard by volume, excellent market data, strong negotiators, deep knowledge of beachside communities

Considerations: Higher price point focus; if your budget is under $400K, may not be the best fit

Best for: Buyers looking for $500K+ waterfront or beachside properties

2. Barbara Zorn Team (ViewBrevardHomes.com)

Specialization: South Brevard, relocation expertise, excellent blog content

Strengths: Extensive written guides for relocators, good at virtual tours, understands aerospace buyer needs

Considerations: Focused more on Melbourne/Indialantic area

Best for: Buyers targeting south Brevard or Melbourne area

3. Alyssa Mills-Berry (That's me!)

Specialization: Aerospace relocations and right-sizing, mid-market to upper-mid-market

Strengths: Exclusively focused on relocation buyers, extensive remote buying experience, strong insurance/flood zone knowledge, personal attention (not a mega-team)

Considerations: Smaller operation than big teams; I handle your transaction personally but don't have 20 assistants

Best for: Out-of-state buyers who want hands-on guidance, $300K-$800K price range, Merritt Island to Melbourne

4. Atlantic Group Real Estate

Specialization: All of Brevard County, small boutique team

Strengths: Experienced agents, good local knowledge, personal service

Considerations: Less focus specifically on aerospace relocations

Best for: Buyers who want a smaller, relationship-focused brokerage

5. Blue Marlin Real Estate

Specialization: Wide range of properties across Brevard

Strengths: $3.5B+ in transactions, experienced in all price points

Considerations: Larger brokerage, experience may vary by individual agent

Best for: Buyers who want a large, established brokerage

Red Flags to Avoid

Not all agents are created equal. Watch out for:

• Agents who've never worked with remote buyers: The process is different. Experience matters.
• Agents who don't ask about your commute: If they're not asking where you'll work, they're not thinking about your daily life.
• Discount/online-only services: You need boots on the ground who know local issues.
• Agents pushing you toward their listings: Dual agency (representing both buyer and seller) is legal in Florida but rarely in the buyer's best interest.
• Agents who don't mention insurance: If they're not discussing insurance costs upfront, they don't understand Florida.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing

1. "How many aerospace relocation clients have you worked with in the past year?"
2. "Can you show me homes via video call?"
3. "What insurance agents do you recommend, and why?"
4. "What neighborhoods would you NOT recommend for my situation, and why?"
5. "How do you handle inspections if I can't be there in person?"

Why I Wrote This

I could have written a page about why I'm the best. But that's not helpful to you. The truth is:

• If you're buying a $1.5M oceanfront estate, Carpenter Kessel might be a better fit
• If you're focused exclusively on Melbourne Beach, Barbara Zorn's team knows that area deeply
• If you're an out-of-state aerospace professional buying remotely in the $300K-$800K range, I'm probably your best match

The most important thing is finding someone who understands your needs and communicates well with you. Interview a few agents. Ask hard questions. Choose the one who feels right.

If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, schedule a call. No pressure, no pitch—just a conversation about what you're looking for.
