Hi! I’m Diana Tommingo, a full-time Military Realtor® serving Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. I help service members, veterans, military families, and civilian buyers and sellers navigate the local housing market. From VA financing and potential VA loan assumptions to virtual tours and remote transactions, I provide local guidance throughout your move.
Plan Your Purchase
Relocating Near Joint Base Andrews
Joint Base Andrews is located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, southeast of Washington, D.C. When choosing where to live, consider the gate you expect to use, your work location on the installation, and your household’s needs beyond the commute.
Your Daily Commute
The Capital Beltway and Suitland Parkway connect the installation with surrounding communities. Compare the drive from each property during your expected commuting hours. Access to Metro can be useful for trips into Washington, D.C., but should be considered separately from your route onto the installation.
Your Budget & Timeline
Your BAH, purchase budget, and PCS timeline can help narrow the search. I help you compare communities, evaluate homes, and arrange virtual tours when an in-person visit isn’t practical.
Where to Live
Popular Neighborhoods Near JBA
Compare communities across Prince George’s County based on your preferred home style, purchase budget, and daily route to work. The specific address matters: homes in the same general area can offer different access to the installation, shopping, and everyday services.
Clinton
Clinton sits south of Joint Base Andrews and is a practical starting point for buyers who want to remain close to the installation. Shopping along Woodyard Road and nearby services support daily errands. Compare each home’s condition, outdoor space, and route to your preferred gate.
Upper Marlboro
Upper Marlboro includes a historic town center and a much larger surrounding residential area. Depending on the community, buyers may find established homes, larger lots, or newer planned developments. Compare the specific address rather than relying on the Upper Marlboro name alone.
Bowie
Bowie offers established residential neighborhoods, parks, and shopping around Bowie Town Center. It may suit buyers whose household needs extend beyond the immediate Andrews area. Weigh your preferred home and neighborhood against the daily drive to the installation.
Brandywine
Brandywine offers a suburban setting along the US 301 corridor, south of Joint Base Andrews. Buyers considering newer communities can compare floor plans, garage space, association costs, and access to shopping while evaluating the commute from each property.
Camp Springs
Camp Springs is convenient to Joint Base Andrews, the Capital Beltway, and Suitland Parkway. Its established residential areas may appeal to buyers who prioritize proximity to the installation. Compare gate access, property condition, and the location of your regular errands.
Westphalia
Westphalia is worth considering if newer construction is a priority. Compare each community’s available homes, included features, association fees, and amenities. For a home under construction, align the builder’s expected completion date with your PCS timeline and financing requirements.
Military Financing
Buying a Home with a VA Loan
Eligible active-duty service members, veterans, and surviving spouses may be able to use VA financing to purchase a primary residence near Joint Base Andrews, subject to VA eligibility and lender requirements. Explore VA Loans
- 0% Down Payment: Eligible buyers may be able to purchase a home without a down payment.
- No PMI: VA loans do not require private mortgage insurance.
- Competitive Rates: Compare available VA loan rates, closing costs, and lender terms.
- Eligible Properties: Qualifying single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums that meet applicable VA requirements.
- Funding Fee: A funding fee may apply. Certain disabled veterans, surviving spouses, and qualifying active-duty Purple Heart recipients may be exempt.
- VA Appraisal: The property must meet applicable VA appraisal and minimum property requirements. An appraisal does not replace a home inspection.
Assumable Financing
Buying a Home with a VA Loan Assumption
A VA loan assumption may allow you to take over the seller’s existing VA mortgage and retain its interest rate and remaining loan terms, subject to lender or loan-servicer approval. The buyer does not have to be a veteran.
How It Works
An approved buyer takes over the seller’s remaining VA loan balance and existing terms. Compare the interest rate, remaining loan term, and monthly payment with your other financing options.
Managing the Equity Gap
Plan for the cash needed to cover the difference between the agreed purchase price and the remaining VA loan balance, along with applicable closing costs.
Substitution of Entitlement
A qualified veteran buyer may be able to substitute their VA entitlement to help restore the seller’s entitlement, subject to applicable VA requirements.
Guidance Through Approval
I help you identify homes with assumable VA mortgages, evaluate the equity gap, and coordinate with the loan servicer. Approval timelines should be considered alongside your PCS schedule and target closing date.
Your Next Chapter
Selling Your Home Near JBA
Selling your home near Joint Base Andrews may coincide with PCS orders, military retirement, or a change in duty station. I help you prepare your property, position the listing, and coordinate the sale around your relocation timeline—even if you move before closing.
Highlight Your Property’s Strengths
From established neighborhoods in Clinton and Camp Springs to newer communities in Westphalia and Brandywine, I position your home around its actual features, neighborhood amenities, and access to major roads.
Evaluate VA Loan Assumption Potential
An existing VA mortgage with an attractive interest rate may provide an additional selling point. We can review the remaining loan balance, potential buyer equity gap, and approval process as part of your strategy.
Plan Around Your PCS Timeline
Coordinate preparation, photography, the listing launch, and showings around your move. Your departure date and preferred settlement timing help shape the plan from the beginning.
Manage the Sale After You Relocate
If you leave before closing, I coordinate local access, inspections, negotiations, and transaction details while keeping you informed from your next location.
