Key Insights: What Virginia Military Families Need to Know About PCS Home Sales
Based on our experience helping military families at Norfolk Naval Base, Quantico, Fort Belvoir, and Pentagon assignments:
- PCS Timeline Reality: Traditional home sales average 45-60 days in Virginia, but military families often get just 30 days’ notice for emergency PCS moves – we can close in 14 days
- Remote Closing Truth: Virginia law allows remote closings through power of attorney, meaning you can complete your home sale from anywhere in the world
- Military Housing Allowance: BAH stops when you PCS, but mortgage payments continue until you sell – cash buyers eliminate this overlap period
- Deployment Considerations: 67% of our military clients handle their home sale entirely remotely during deployment preparation or active duty
- Market Timing: Virginia military communities (Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia) have consistent cash buyer demand due to constant PCS turnover
These insights come from our actual experience helping military families, not generic real estate advice.
