A Bad Move Can Cost More Than Just Money

A rushed home purchase or sale can cost time, money, and peace of mind.

Tight PCS timeline?

The wrong home could mean a bad commute, poor schools, or instant regret.

VA loan?

Many buyers lose thousands by not maximizing their benefits.

Buying sight unseen?

Without detailed virtual tours and honest insights, costly surprises can come unexpectedly

New city?

The wrong neighborhood makes it hard to feel at home.

Paperwork Done, Home Ready On Arrival

“My wife and I greatly enjoyed Katie’s expertise and service in assisting with our first house. We had to relocate to Virginia from California, and Katie walked us through the process so we’d understand every step. Her patience and knowledge eased the experience, and there were no surprises. Katie’s market understanding helped us save costs. When all the paperwork was done, we couldn’t believe how easy she made it. We were able to move right in when we arrived!”

    I completely understand—that’s a big decision! When needed, I provide detailed virtual tours, in-depth neighborhood insights, and on-the-ground assessments to make sure you have a full picture before making an offer. Many of my clients buy remotely and feel completely confident in their choice because I make sure no detail is overlooked.

    Your BAH is based on your rank, dependent status, and the Charlottesville zip code.

    Absolutely! VA loans have unique advantages—but only if used correctly. I help you navigate the process, avoid common mistakes, and maximize your benefits, so you don’t leave money on the table. I also connect you with VA-savvy lenders who understand military needs.

    That’s exactly why I specialize in military relocations—I streamline everything! I curate only the best homes that fit your needs and can arrange efficient virtual or in-person tours to save you time. I handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on your move and your family.

    Neighborhood choice is just as important as the home itself. I provide deep local insights on schools, commute times, safety, and amenities so you land in an area that fits your lifestyle and needs. I make sure you feel confident before making a decision.

    This is a common concern! That’s why I help military families choose homes with strong resale value or rental potential. Many of my past clients have successfully turned their homes into investment properties when they PCS again, so they continue building wealth instead of losing money on rent.

    I don’t just help military families buy homes—I specialize in PCS moves and understand the urgency, VA loans, and stress that come with them. I have a proven system designed for military relocations, a deep knowledge of the Charlottesville market, and a track record of helping families like yours move with confidence.
