Tampa is one of the fastest-growing medical markets in the country. Tampa General, USF Health, Moffitt Cancer Center, BayCare, AdventHealth, James A. Haley VA, and HCA have turned this city into a destination for physicians at every stage of their career.

Relocating to Tampa for a position at Tampa General, Moffitt, USF Health, AdventHealth, BayCare, HCA Florida or the James A. Haley VA? I help physicians compare neighborhoods, understand real commute patterns and evaluate homes remotely before their start date.

Tampa's medical corridor continues to expand, led by Tampa General Hospital, USF Health, Moffitt Cancer Center, BayCare, AdventHealth, the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital and HCA Florida. Choosing a home here is both a lifestyle decision and a commute decision.

I'm Kelly Burchill, a third-generation South Tampa native and broker associate with Compass, licensed in Florida and New York. I've worked with physicians relocating across Tampa's medical corridor, and I know how to help them land in the right neighborhood before their start date. Which means the home search here isn't really a real estate decision. It's a lifestyle decision disguised as a commute decision.

I do my homework.

Ownership records. Flood history. School zoning lines. Street-level traffic at 2 a.m. I research the way physicians diagnose — no guessing.

I respect your schedule.

Most of my physician clients shop remotely between shifts. I run the search so you don't have to, and I tell you the truth — including when a house everyone loves is on the wrong street.

I find what isn't listed.

If the right home isn't on the market, I go find it. Ownership research and direct outreach included.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Ideally three to six months before your anticipated move.

Absolutely. Many of my physician clients relocate from out of state. I regularly conduct virtual tours, coordinate inspections, and manage the entire process remotely until it's time to close.

For TGH, many physicians gravitate toward Davis Islands, Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, and Beach Park. For Moffitt and USF, neighborhoods like Tampa Palms, Hunter's Green, New Tampa, and parts of South Tampa are popular depending on commute preferences and lifestyle goals.

Not necessarily. Many of my clients purchase homes while still living in another city. I can preview properties, provide detailed video walk-throughs, and help you evaluate neighborhoods remotely.

The market varies significantly by price point and neighborhood. Some areas offer buyers more negotiating power than we've seen in years, while highly desirable neighborhoods and well-priced homes can still move quickly.

Yes. Relocating is about much more than real estate. I can help connect you with lenders, insurance providers, contractors, schools, and local resources to make your transition to Tampa as smooth as possible.

Many of my physician clients use a physician mortgage program, which can allow for a lower down payment and more flexibility around student loan debt and a new-employer start date. I'm not a lender, so I don't give financing advice, but I can connect you with mortgage professionals who specialize in physician loans and can walk you through what you'd qualify for.
