If you find yourself relocating to Maryland, you may end up needing temporary housing until you can settle on your home. We're working with a military couple right now who is relocating to Frederick from Germany. The wife flew in several weeks ago to go house shopping and Dave spent three days with her, looking at all her favorites after eliminating many by shopping on the internet.
She chose her favorite which is a bank foreclosure and we're scheduled to close on June 2nd. Only problem is the bank came back and had us do an addendum to extend the settlement until June 18 if necessary because they are so overwhelmed with foreclosures. That means they are going to need a place to stay for longer than originally planned. 
Extended Stay America has locations that fill the gap for many people and they have a lot of different locations around the area.

They have nightly, weekly,and extended stay rates. This option also works well for business travelers or vacationers.
If you are relocating to Ft. Meade, Maryland, Shelter Cove apartment complex off Rt. 32 that has regular 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments that come unfurnished or furnished. Shelter Cove will let you use your Realtor to help you rent an apartment there and have their apartments listed in the multiple list system.
These temporary housing solutions can also be perfect for you if you have a contract on a short sale property and are unsure as to how long it will take to settle. When you purchase a short sale property, if you have a home to sell, it can be very difficult to coordinate the settlement dates. A solution to this problem is to sell your current home, have your belongings moved to storage, and stay in an extended stay hotel until you are able to settle on your new home. Many times the savings you can get by purchasing a short sale property are worth the short-term inconvenience of a temporary living arrangement.
Your professional Realtor can help you with your relocation plans including obtaining financing for your new home, shopping for your home, previewing potential homes, navigating through the inspection process and paperwork for you when you are not able to be present, so that your move goes as smoothly as possible.
