When the Zotto family received PCS orders moving them from Hawaii to Charlottesville, they knew they would have to navigate the whole process from afar. They had to sell their home in Hawaii, buy a new home sight unseen, and navigate a complex VA loan process—all under tight deadlines.
The pressure was real. Missing a step could have meant financial setbacks, housing delays, or a rushed, regretful decision. They needed someone who understood the stakes—and could guide them across thousands of miles with precision and care.
That’s when they found Katie Pearl.
Katie immediately became their boots on the ground—providing detailed virtual tours, honest local insights, and handling every logistical hurdle while coordinating timelines across two states. She made sure the Zottos maximized their VA benefits, kept their Hawaii sale and Charlottesville purchase aligned, and never missed a beat on closing deadlines.
Most importantly, Katie made a complicated PCS relocation feel simple.
The Zotto Family closed on a home they love, with confidence and ease—even though they never set foot inside it before their household goods arrived.
Thanks to Katie, they didn’t just move—they moved forward.
“Katie did an amazing job assisting us with our purchase while we were still in Hawaii! Her local expertise was extremely helpful. She was very responsive despite the time difference. We loved working with her and highly recommend her!”
