Military Real Estate

Diana Tommingo

Hello! I'm a military realtor dedicated to helping home buyers and sellers in Alexandria, Virginia. I specialize in serving Veterans and Military families moving to Northern Virginia, providing valuable insights into neighborhoods, such as Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, Kingstowne, Cameron Station and more.

On June 15, 2022, the VA introduced updated guidelines for the VA Loan Benefit. Leveraging my expertise as a seasoned military realtor, I'm here to help navigate you through the ins and outs of buying a home under these new rules. If you need support with a VA Assumption, I've got the experience to make the process smooth sailing for you.

My priority is delivering exceptional service, regardless of the sales price, to all service members. I have a deep understanding of neighborhoods ideal for military families and excel at finding homes that match both your budget and lifestyle. I understand the importance of meeting PCS deadlines and BAH rates.

My husband, a retired Major (U. S. Marine Corps) and the Director of the Mayor's Office of Veterans Affairs for the District of Columbia (2019-2023), brings a wealth of knowledge to my work. I am proud to work with members of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. My real estate services include:

• Home Buying for Military Buyers

• Home Selling for Military Sellers

MILITARY Cash back

I am proud to extend a special offer to Military Buyers and Sellers: you can receive a military credit or rebate equal to 0.5% of the sales price. For example:

• With a property sale price of $600,000, you will receive $3,000 in cash back.

• With a property sale price of $700,000, you will receive $3,500 in cash back.

Neighborhoods

Some parts of Alexandria are situated within the City of Alexandria, while others fall under Fairfax County. The City of Alexandria represents the historic district, offering convenient access to the Metro and proximity to the Waterfront. This area is known for its walkability, boasting a range of cafes and restaurants. However, these attractive amenities (and homes!) often come with a higher price point. On the other hand, neighborhoods in Fairfax County are typically seen as suburban, featuring larger homes and a distance from the Metro. As a military realtor, I offer assistance in the purchase or sale of properties in the entire area:

• Arlandria: Located in northern Alexandria, near Arlington. Residents enjoy easy access to the Four Mile Run Trail.

• Carlyle: known for its modern high-rise buildings, convenient access to Metro, and proximity to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Residents of Carlyle enjoy a dynamic urban lifestyle with a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options at their doorstep

• Del Ray: Located north of Old Town Alexandria. It’s known for its charming small-town feel and variety of restaurants, boutiques, and small businesses.

• Old Town Alexandria (including Braddock): Historic downtown area boasting picturesque cobblestone streets, stunning Potomac River vistas, and convenient access to notable landmarks like the Torpedo Factory Art Center and Carlyle House Historic Park.

• Potomac Yard (including National Landing): Located close to the Pentagon and Old Town Alexandria. With its proximity to the Potomac Yard Shopping Center and access to Metro, Potomac Yard offers residents a convenient and lively urban lifestyle.

• Landmark – Van Dorn: Known for its convenient location near major highways and public transportation, making commuting to other parts of Northern Virginia easy.

• Kingstowne: Considered a suburban paradise, featuring the Kingstowne Towne Center, a charming hub of retail shops and restaurants. Situated near Springfield, it's a sought-after destination for military families who work at Fort Belvoir and The Pentagon.

• Cameron Station: A vibrant community known for its blend of traditional and modern living. Originally a military base, it has been transformed into a charming neighborhood with tree-lined streets, well-maintained parks, and a strong sense of community. Residents enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options at the nearby Cameron Station Plaza.
