Got PCS orders? Sell your Hampton Roads home on your timeline.
Whether you're Navy at Naval Station Norfolk or Oceana, Army at Fort Eustis, Air Force at Langley, a Marine, Coast Guard at Portsmouth or Base Support Center Elizabeth City, or Space Force, PCS orders rarely come with much notice. I help service members and military families in every branch sell their home quickly and for the best price — even if you've already reported to your next duty station.
Plan my PCS home saleCommon challenges when you sell your home for a PCS
- Short report dates and orders that change
- Selling after you've already moved to your next duty station
- Deciding whether to sell or keep the home as a rental
- Low equity from a recent VA loan purchase
- Juggling the sale with deployments and a household goods move
- Pricing your home to sell before your report date
How I help military families sell their home
A plan built around your orders
We work backward from your report date to set list, showing and closing dates, and I plan for orders that shift so a changed date doesn't derail the sale.
Sell from anywhere
Already gone? I handle showings, repairs, vendors and inspections locally, and closings can usually be signed remotely or with a power of attorney.
Sell vs. rent, with real numbers
I'll show you what you'd net from selling today versus the rent the home could bring, so you can decide whether to sell or keep it as an investment.
What selling your home with PCS orders usually involves
It starts with your report date. We work backward to set when the home is prepped, listed and closed, leaving room for orders that change. The earlier you call after receiving orders, the more flexibility you have on price and timing.
Next is the sell-or-rent decision. Renting can build long-term wealth if the rent covers your costs and you may return to Hampton Roads. Selling gives you a clean break and cash for your next home. If you bought recently with a VA loan and have little equity, we'll look carefully at the numbers together.
You don't need to be here to sell. Many military sellers list after they've reported to the next duty station. I handle showings, vendors and inspections locally, and closings can usually be signed remotely or with a power of attorney.

How fast can I sell my house after getting PCS orders?
Many well-priced Hampton Roads homes go under contract within a few weeks, and closing usually takes another 30 to 45 days. The sooner you call after getting orders, the more options you have.
Can I sell my home after I've already PCS'd?
Yes. I handle everything locally and closings can usually be signed remotely, so you don't need to fly back.
Should I sell or rent my house when I PCS?
It depends on your equity, the rent the home can bring and whether you'll return to Hampton Roads. I'll give you honest numbers for both so you can decide.
Do you work with every branch of the military?
Yes — Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Space Force, plus DoD civilians with relocation orders.
What if my PCS orders change after I list?
We plan for it. Listing and contract terms can be structured with flexibility, and we'll adjust the timeline together if your dates move.
Can a buyer take over my VA loan?
VA loans can be assumable, which can be attractive to buyers when rates are higher. Your lender and VA approval are required, so ask your lender about the details and how it affects your VA entitlement.
Can I sell my house with a power of attorney while deployed?
Often, yes. A specific real estate power of attorney lets a trusted person sign for you. Check with your legal assistance office and the title company early so the document is accepted.
What if I don't have much equity in my home?
I'll give you an exact estimate of what you'd net after costs. If the numbers are tight, renting the home or negotiating costs may make sense, and we'll compare options together.
