Exclusive Military Real Estate Savings
0.5% Military Homebuyer Closing Credit
Lower your out-of-pocket costs at settlement. When you buy a home with me, I negotiate directly with the seller to pay my buying agent commission and credit 0.5% of the sales price back to you at closing. Use your credit toward closing costs, escrow prepaids, or buying down your mortgage rate.
Keep More Equity: 2% Military Listing Fee
Selling your home in DC, Maryland, or Northern Virginia shouldn't cost a fortune in commissions. While standard listing agents charge 2.5% to 3%, I offer a discounted 2% listing fee + $395 broker fee to active-duty military and veterans—giving you full-service representation while preserving your hard-earned equity.
The table compares a 3% listing fee with my 2% listing fee. They do not represent total seller closing costs or include the buyer agent’s compensation paid in a transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions for DMV Military Relocations
Q: Can I use the 0.5% buyer credit with a VA loan?
Yes. The 0.5% military credit can be applied directly toward your lender-approved closing costs, prepaids, or interest rate buy-downs at settlement.
Q: How does selling a home with an assumable VA loan work in DC, MD, or VA?
If you have an existing VA mortgage with a low interest rate, a qualified buyer can assume your current interest rate and remaining balance. I market this feature directly to buyers to generate high demand and competitive offers.
Q: Do you assist with PCS moves prior to arriving in the DMV area?
Yes. I conduct virtual video walkthroughs, detailed neighborhood previews, and remote contract negotiations so you can secure housing before arriving on station.
