Buying Near the Base vs. Selling on a Deadline

Incoming and outbound families on a military move need different game plans. Seems like no two PCS timelines look alike. Incoming families need a buyer-focused search built around BAH and gate commute times. Outbound families need a plan tied to current pricing and a firm closing date. Waiting on financing can cost a buyer a fast-moving home. And guessing on price can cost a seller their timeline.

What We Ask Buyers to Do First

We ask buyers to complete a few steps with their agent before touring homes:

Secure your VA Certificate of Eligibility before touring homes.
Share your report date to help us build a timeline.
Tell us your BAH, specifically, so we can make sure listings fit your budget.

Barry Jenkins has led our team for 25 years. Remote video-tour closings are routine for families who PCS before they can tour in person.
