Posted to 14 Wing Greenwood?
I'm Karen Mofford, your Annapolis Valley REALTOR® for Life. Spring 2027 posting season is ahead, so let's use the quieter months to research communities and talk through your options. Once your orders arrive, I'll build the move around your confirmed dates.
A posting playbook, not a sales pitch
Every CAF posting has the same three stress points: timeline, IRP paperwork, and not knowing the area. Here's how I help with each one.
Timeline
From posting message to closing, mapped against your HHT dates, COS, and IRP claim windows.
IRP & HHT
I know what the 2026 IRP mobility framework covers, what it doesn't, and how to use your HHT days for maximum value.
The Valley
Live video tours, school catchments, daycare waitlists, partner commute math — answered before you arrive.
Where Greenwood-posted families actually live
Six towns cover almost every Greenwood posting. Here's the honest 30-second take on each.

5 min to the gateClosest to 14 Wing — newer family neighbourhoods, walking distance to schools.

Posting questions, answered
What is the IRP and what does it cover for a 14 Wing Greenwood posting?
The Canadian Armed Forces Integrated Relocation Program (IRP) reimburses eligible costs for posted members and their families — including a House Hunting Trip (HHT), realtor fees, legal fees, inspections, and moving expenses. The mobility framework changed on April 1, 2026. I'll help you identify the questions to confirm with SIRVA for your own file, including eligible expenses and approved suppliers in the Annapolis Valley.
How far in advance of my posting should I reach out?
You can reach out before your posting message. For spring 2027, I can help you research communities and prepare financing questions now. Once your orders and HHT dates are confirmed, I'll plan viewings around current listings and your actual travel window.
Can I house-hunt virtually if I can't get to the Valley before posting?
Yes. Live video walkthroughs, neighbourhood tours, school catchment overlays, and inspection coordination by proxy are standard. I help you assess the risks from a distance and arrange independent inspections; a virtual tour is not a substitute for due diligence.
Where do most military families posted to Greenwood actually live?
It depends on family stage and commute tolerance. Greenwood proper (under 10 min to the gate), Middleton and Kingston (15–20 min, more inventory, established neighbourhoods), Aylesford/Auburn (semi-rural, larger lots), and Berwick (small-town walkability) are the most common landing spots. I'll match you to the right one based on schools, daycare, partner commute, and lifestyle.
Do you charge a referral fee or take BGRS/SIRVA referral commissions?
No surprise costs to you — my work for military buyers is paid through standard real estate commissions handled within the IRP framework.
