I am so glad we sold our 2800 sqft Ashburn townhouse (read: highly desirable) when we moved out of state. You either have to travel to do work yourself or pay someone you've never met and won't be around to watch to do the work. No thanks. It's appreciated ~$150k in the last eight years and I still don't regret the decision. YMMV.
Personally, I wouldn't carry two mortgages when relocating to another state, getting a new job, and during COVID. There's just so much shit that could go tits up and you'd be stuck. If you want to keep the house, at least consider renting in Charlotte for a bit so you can see how 2020 plays out and get a sense of where around there you want to be.
I'd wager HQ2 has exactly zero effect on Massanutten real estate.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
