I truly appreciate the sacrifices you and your family make to protect our country. Whether this is your first Permanent Change of Station (PCS), or a veteran of military moves, this is a significant life change event. Sometimes a loved one can’t participate with the house search due to service obligations. Count on me to use professional communication and technology to involve everyone, regardless of where they are in the world. As a certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP) it’s my duty to make this transition stress free for your family.
You just received orders to transfer to San Antonio. Welcome to Military City USA! You’ll find a strong active and retired military community. Our charming city is filled with culture, history, and fun activities for everyone.
As a service member, there’s more involved with a home purchase compared to most civilians. Primarily, you need a strong understanding of the benefits available through the Department of Defense. These typically come through PCS moving assistance and the Veterans Administration loan. Then, there are the logistics of moving to or from San Antonio. I offer a distinct advantage over noncertified MRP realtors to guide you through the military home buying and moving process.
Before we start house shopping, make sure to obtain your Certificate of Eligibility (COE). Use this VA.gov for direct access to the COE registration page. Your lender may also be able to help obtain the certificate.
The Department of Defense offers active military and veterans excellent lending options to help with your new home purchase. As a Military Relocation Professional, I understand these benefits available to you. Think of me as an additional resource to help guide through the process.
Working with a mortgage lender that understands the VA loan process is very important. If you don’t have lender, contact me for a list of preferred mortgage companies.
San Antonio features many excellent and unique neighborhoods throughout the city. Before deciding where to live, it’s important to align on what’s important to you. Questions to understand your top priorities include:
Finding your new San Antonio lifestyle home is all about collaboration. I send homes that meet your needs and closely study homes you send me. When you visit town for showings, I’m respectful of your time and present a plan with goals in mind. I use video and other technology for additional perspective when you can’t see a property in person.
Moving weight – Stay within weight limits to avoid unexpected and additional moving costs. https://www.move.mil/resources/ weight-estimator is useful to get a good idea who your estimated moving weight.
Unfortunately, not everyone gets to finish out their military career in San Antonio. If you received transfer orders, my MRP credentials will ensure a smooth sale of your property. There are approximately 20 steps in selling a home. You can rely on me to professionally manage the entire process so you can focus on your relocation.
