Military Relocation to Northern Virginia

Did you just get PCS orders to Northern Virginia?  Not to worry. Once the surprise of your latest set of orders is over, it’s time to get started figuring out where you want to live in Northern Virginia. One of the nice things about this area is the variety of neighborhoods, home styles and price ranges available. There are traditional neighborhoods that have always been popular with military families and in the last few years plenty of new construction that has expanded the options even further.

Curious about some of our local neighborhoods?  Check out our Northern Virginia Interactive Neighborhood Exxplorer to get a sneak peek at some of the neighborhoods that are popular with miliary families moving to Northern Viginia

Working with an agent familiar with the area and your needs, you can narrow down your choices before you ever leave home. Instead of spending days trapped in the car looking at homes that don't fit your needs you can focus on the houses that really interest you and spend more time learning about the other benefits of the Northern Virginia area. I’ve actually helped military families who were not able to make a house hunting trip find a home to rent “sight unseen.”

If you are eligible for and considering using the assigned relocation agent from USAA, PenFed, SMARTMOVE (tm) or any of the military credit unions, I offer the same financial incentives (aka rebates) to military familes as those programs do. The difference is my incentives are not tied to the use of a particular settlement company, attorney or other vendor.  My goal is to assure you get the best real estate solution for you and not one you are required to use to be qualify for the incentive.

No matter whether you are headed to an assignment in the Military District of Washington,  Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), Quantico MCB or any other military installation in the area finding your next home doesn’t have to be a logistical nightmare. If you have orders and are looking for an agent experienced with military relocation and who will go the extra mile with your move to Northern Virginia give me a call at 703-346-2213.

I work with both military buyers and renters so if a purchase isn’t in your plans don’t hesitate to call!
