NC experienced single digit temperatures last year, so you won't escape the cold in NC.
You shouldn't have trouble finding a realtor in the RTP area, it's practically crawling with them since everyone from everywhere was convinced NC was the place to be.
From your post, it sounds like you have put in resumes but have not gotten much of a response. I also did not see much listed in the way of assets. IMO, unless you have many months of expenses saved up it is very foolish to move without a job lined up. It seems like you are likely to rack up more "credit troubles" doing this. Most landlords would be unwilling to rent to someone in your situation as well.
From what I can tell the job market out there can be tough to break into. Have you considered that the lack of interest you've received isn't because of your out of state address after all? What if the job market is just really tight and once you get down there you won't have better luck?
MD isn't *that* far from NC. Can you set up some scouting trips and head down there with resumes in hand to feel the city out? Also, have you tried working with a recruiter to help you find a job? There is no way I would make an out of state move without a steady income lined up and a solid chunk of change in my bank just in case.
OP, I lived right outside Baltimore for four years. You won't regularly find a Baltimore winter here in Raleigh, I can assure you of that. These past couple of winters have been anomalies. I mean, we had record-setting snow in Georgia!
About rentals, agencies and properties differ in how much they'll work with you if you don't have a job. Some won't let you in the door, others will require a larger security deposit for approval.
Call around and do your legwork. And keep hope alive for job offers.
I put this in one thread and the lady told me it was really helpful and she told me to put this in other threads.
No, she didn't. She said:
