Also, I would like to move all my belongings from VA to NC and would like to know good and best deal movers. I am looking for movers that do everything for you but at the same time give the best deal and best service. Am I being realistic to think I can get someone like this in and under the range of <$1500? If not what is anyone of your experience in terms of average moving cost, I am looking at...
This is the first time I am moving in my life and had been local for ages to all good inputs are much much appreciated.
Thanks!

First, good luck with your move! It's a big change to go somewhere new for the first time.
I think most posters on this board are going to need to know a bit more about your interests and preferences to make recommendations, such as--
* In what kind of place do you want to live? A "suburban"-feeling town? A college/university town? Closer to a downtown area/nightlife?
* How important is a short commute to you? (Depending on where in the three cities you've named you end up, you could choose 10 minutes, or 30 minutes, or 45 minutes+ in traffic; all depends on what you're looking for.)
* What are you looking for in a community? Intellectual life and energy? Diversity? An upscale community? All of the above? :-)
* Where are you coming from in Virginia, and do you like it or want a change? If you like where you're from and want to live somewhere like it... then my question would be, is that Winchester, or Arlington, or Chesapeake, or South Hill, or Charlottesville?
