Military Real Estate

Diana Tommingo

Hello! I'm a military realtor dedicated to helping home buyers and sellers in Fairfax County. I specialize in serving Veterans and Military families relocating to Northern Virginia, providing valuable insights into towns, such as Falls Church, McLean, Reston, Tyson’s Corner, 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
