Military Realtor in Washington DC

I’m Diana Tommingo, a full-time Military Realtor® helping active-duty service members, veterans, military families, and civilian buyers and sellers navigate the Washington DC real estate market. I specialize in military relocation, PCS moves, VA loans, VA loan assumptions, and the unique challenges of buying or selling a home on a military timeline.

I work with service members and veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard, as well as military spouses and their families.

PCS Relocation to Washington DC

PCS moves often come with tight deadlines, unfamiliar neighborhoods, and the need to make important housing decisions quickly. I help military buyers relocating to Washington DC evaluate neighborhoods, coordinate virtual home tours, navigate offers and contracts, and purchase a home remotely when necessary.

For military homeowners leaving the area, I also help coordinate the sale of a Washington DC property around PCS timelines, including preparation, marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing.

Washington DC Neighborhoods for Military Home Buyers

Washington DC offers a wide range of neighborhoods, housing styles, and commute options. For military buyers, location can be especially important when considering PCS timelines, duty locations, transportation, and access to military installations. I help buyers compare neighborhoods based on their assignment, lifestyle, budget, and preferred commute.

• Adams Morgan: Great for military members seeking a walkable, vibrant lifestyle with easy access to central DC bases via nearby Green, Red, and Blue Line Metro connections to the Navy Yard, JBAB, and the Pentagon.

• Chevy Chase: Known for its upscale residential homes along the DC–Maryland border. A 5- to 10-minute commute up Connecticut Avenue NW gets service members straight to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
