Orders in hand?

Let’s make this move easy

Hampton Roads is one of the largest military communities in the country, and helping service members buy and sell around PCS orders is a big part of my work. I’ll plan around your report date, show homes virtually when you can’t be here, and keep your lender, inspector and everyone else on schedule.

VA loans, simply

How a VA loan works

  • The VA guarantees part of a loan made by a private lender, which is why lenders can offer such buyer-friendly terms.
  • Eligible buyers with full entitlement can often buy with no down payment, and there’s no monthly private mortgage insurance.
  • You’ll need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE); your lender can usually request it for you.
  • Most VA buyers pay a one-time VA funding fee, which can be financed. Some veterans, including many with service-connected disabilities, are exempt.
  • The home gets a VA appraisal that checks value and the VA’s Minimum Property Requirements.
  • VA loans are for a home you’ll live in, and the benefit can be used more than once.

This is general information, not loan advice. A VA-experienced lender can confirm your eligibility, entitlement and costs. I’m happy to introduce you to a few.

Your PCS timeline

A simple checklist

  1. As soon as you have orders

    Call me, talk to a VA-experienced lender, and request your COE.

  2. Get pre-approved

    Know your budget and what your housing allowance means for your payment.

  3. Pick your areas

    We’ll compare neighborhoods by commute to your command, schools and lifestyle.

  4. Tour, in person or virtually

    Live video tours if you’re still at your current duty station.

  5. Offer & contract

    I’ll write a strong VA offer and map every deadline to your report date.

  6. Inspection & VA appraisal

    We handle repairs and appraisal questions together.

  7. Closing

    Sign in person, or ask about remote and power-of-attorney options if you’re deployed or in transit.
