I’m Diana Tommingo, a full-time Military Realtor® serving Prince William County and the National Capital Region. I help military and civilian clients navigate real estate decisions with local market knowledge and an understanding of the demands of relocation.
A Personal Connection to Military Life
My connection to the military is personal. My husband, Elliot Tommingo, is a retired U.S. Marine Corps Major who served as Director of the DC Mayor’s Office of Veterans Affairs from 2019 to 2023. Through our family’s experience, I understand that military life often requires difficult decisions on demanding timelines. That perspective shapes how I approach each relocation—with an appreciation for the service member’s mission, the family’s needs, and the importance of finding the right home during a major transition.

Discuss Your MoveMilitary Relocation · Prince William County, Virginia
A PCS move to Prince William County involves more than finding a home. Your location can shape your commute to your duty station, access to commuter routes and transit, daily routine, and long-term plans. I help you compare communities, understand the local market, and make informed real estate decisions—even while you're still at your current duty station.
01 / For Buyers
Compare communities throughout Prince William County based on your duty station, commute, housing budget, schools, transportation options, and lifestyle priorities. I can help you weigh different locations before narrowing your home search.
When PCS timing makes an in-person search difficult, I can provide virtual tours, detailed video walkthroughs, and neighborhood previews to help you evaluate homes from a distance.
I coordinate with you throughout property evaluations, offers, inspections, negotiations, disclosures, and settlement—even when your PCS timeline requires a remote purchase.
02 / For Sellers
Your transfer date can influence when to list, how to price your home, and how to prepare it for the market. I help build a selling strategy around your PCS timeline.
From recommending updates and staging to coordinating photography and preparing your property for showings, I help manage the details as you get ready to relocate.
You don't have to remain in Prince William County to sell your home. I coordinate showings, offers, negotiations, inspections, and closing while keeping you informed from your next assignment.
Financing & Real Estate Guidance
Understanding your financing options can help you make a more informed home purchase or sale. I help military buyers and sellers navigate the real estate side of VA financing, including home purchases with VA loans and properties with assumable VA mortgages in Prince William County.
01 / VA Loans
Eligible buyers may be able to purchase a home in Prince William County without a down payment, subject to applicable requirements.
VA loans do not require monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI).
I help you evaluate properties, prepare an offer, and coordinate with your lender throughout the transaction.
Understand how your VA home loan benefit fits your budget, property goals, and home search in Prince William County.
02 / VA Assumptions
Qualified buyers may be able to assume a seller's existing VA mortgage, subject to servicer approval.
An assumable mortgage may carry an interest rate below current market rates, depending on the existing loan terms.
Buyers generally need cash to cover the difference between the purchase price and the remaining loan balance, along with applicable costs.
An eligible Veteran buyer may be able to use a Substitution of Entitlement, subject to VA and lender requirements.
03 / For Sellers
When the terms are favorable, such as a low interest rate, an assumable VA mortgage may be a selling point for qualified buyers.
An assumable loan may appeal to buyers seeking an alternative to financing at current market rates.
Help buyers understand the remaining loan balance, purchase price, and equity gap they may need to cover.
I work with the buyer, seller, lender, and other parties to help coordinate the assumption process through settlement.
VA loan eligibility, assumption approval, entitlement requirements, down payment needs, and other terms depend on individual circumstances and applicable VA and lender requirements. Consult your lender or loan servicer for financing-specific guidance.
