Orders to JBLM? Let's plan the move around them.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord is next door, and a PCS move runs on a clock you don't control. I plan the search around your report date, tour by video while you're still at your current station, and line up a lender who closes VA loans often.
VA loans, explained plainly
What the benefit does, what the funding fee is, and how a VA appraisal works, from a lender who handles them.
Search from where you are
Live video tours and recorded walk-throughs so your spouse can see the house too.
Commute that fits the gate
Gig Harbor, University Place and Tacoma all mean different drives to the gates. We map yours.
Next orders, planned now
If you may be stationed elsewhere in a few years, we look at whether the home would rent well before you buy it.
How it goes
Four steps, in this order, with a text from me at each one.
Send your report date
I build the search calendar backwards from it.
VA pre-approval
With a local lender who closes VA loans regularly.
Video tours
Live or recorded, with notes and the commute for each home.
Close on time
Remote signing where the title company allows it, keys when you arrive.
What clients say
We had been in the house for twenty-six years and I was dreading it. Reid made a list, told us what not to bother with, and texted us after every showing. It never felt like a sales job.
We bought from Georgia on orders to JBLM. Reid did video tours at night our time and drove the commute to the gate for us. We closed the week we arrived.
Common questions
Can I buy before I arrive?
Often, yes. With video tours, a trusted inspector and remote signing where allowed, many military buyers close before they report. Your lender confirms what is possible for your loan.
Should I rent or sell my home when I PCS out?
It depends on the payment, likely rent, repairs and how long you'd be away. I run the numbers with you and point you to a local property manager if renting makes sense.
Do you only work with military families?
No. Military moves are one part of my work. Many of my clients are long-time locals selling their homes.
Start with a quick call.
Three short steps. I call or text to book a time that suits you, with no obligation.
