Veterans & active military actually have access to some great tax exemptions! It’s important to know what those exemptions are & how to file them.
Save $
Saving money is no doubt extremely important to you. I have a team of professionals to refer you to that can help navigate the loan paperwork & keep more of your money in your bank account.

Additional Loan & Assistance Programs
Find a Realtor ® with knowledge of the homeselling/buying process specific to veterans & active military. You can determine this by working with someone with an MRP certification (like me!)
Obtain your ‘Certificate of Eligibility’ & DD214. (I provide links on where to obtain these documents along with other helpful info to my clients.)
Shop around & choose a lender who is confident navigating the VA loan process. Be sure to ask your agent for recommendations.
Get pre-qualified. While this may not technically be required, homesellers usually require proof of funds before they’ll accept an offer. Not having a pre-qualification/preapproval letter will put you at a steep disadvantage when putting in an offer.
Time to go house hunting! Once you find the home that you’re excited about, we submit an offer.
Once it’s accepted, we begin the process for loan approval & schedule the VA inspection and the VA appraisal.
Negotiate items found on the inspection & prepare finances for closing.
Closing Day! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW HOME!

Part of my services is to have professional photos taken & begin a marketing plan that will get your home in front of qualified, motivated buyers before it’s even officially on the market.
