BRAC, MILITARY RELOCATION IN STAFFORD, SPOTSYLVANIA, KING GEORGE COUNTIES in NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

 

MILITARY RELOCATION to VIRGINIA BRAC BASES, QUANTICO, FT. BELVOIR, ARLINGTON, DC.

MILITARY RELOCATION TO VIRGINIA has created a need for housing resources for reassigned military folks.  BRAC is bringing large numbers of military personnel to certain military bases in

VIRGINIA MILITARY BUYERS RELOCATION and BRAC.

BRAC , the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission is moving home buyers to Northern Virginia.  Homefinders.com is ready to help our military personnel, Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard Service members find their home of choice in Northern Virginia.  BRAC bases are located in Arlington and Quantico.  BRAC relocated personnel to DC locations may wish to find housing in Northern Virginia or DC and we’re ready to help. 

Virginia military home buyers benefit when the real estate agent you select is experienced, knows the area and understands the VA mortgage loan. 

Homefinders.com agents are ready to help our military buyers and VA Loan eligible civilian home buyers.   To help you with your home purchase, in addition to helping you find the very best home for your price range and transportation, school needs, Homefinders and our Homefinders agent and broker partners will:

  • Provide you with a FREE One Year Home Warranty on any resale home.
  • Reimburse you for he cost of your home inspection up to $400.
  • REBATE to you money to help with move in expenses for new or resale homes.

Our network of experienced brokers and agents in the areas where BRAC is focused know where he best home values are, can provide you with school information, and will help you with financing of your home purchase. 
Military Relocation Virginia
IF SOMEONE SAYS YOU SHOULDN’T USE THE VA LOAN, DON’T BELIEVE THEM.
We believe the VA loan is often the best mortgage loan for eligible home buyers.   Real estate agents who are not familiar with VA financing may try to steer VA eligible home buyers away from the VA loan because they don’t understand the benefits of the VA loan for the home buyer.  You have earned the right to use the VA loan which is the only mortgage loan that offers true NO DOWN PAYMENT financing and permits the seller to pay ALL of your closing costs.  While the loan limit for VA eligible home buyers is $417,000 including the funding fee for ZERO down payment loans, VA financing may actually be used for purchase prices of up to $1,000,000.  Homes priced over $417,000 use a down payment based on the amount over $417,000.  The down payment is based on the amount over $417,000.

Homefinders has no financial interest in any mortgage company.  We do recommend experienced mortgage companies based on our buyer’s needs.  We do not receive any benefits by way of referrals or any incentive to refer buyers to any particular mortgage company or loan officer.  We encourage home buyers to use local, experienced mortgage companies because of the familiarity of the loan personnel and appraisers with local real estate values.  If a relocating military service person is already pre-approved by popular lenders for military personnel, USAA, NFCU, etc. we are happy to cooperate fully with that loan provider.  Our job is to help you, our buyer client find the very best home for your money and location of choice.  We do not pay referral fees to lenders.  Any incentives we offer goes directly to our buyer clients, not a mortgage company or relocation company.  USAA and other lenders offer rebates to borrowers who use their services.  Homefinders will match that rebate but, rather than pay a referral fee to USAA, we rebate money directly to our buyers to assist with relocation expenses.                

EXAMPLE:  HOME FOR SALE IN STAFFORD, NEAR QUANTICO MARINE BASE

Just minutes from Quantico Marine Base, this lovely home is typical of real estate in this price range.

BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE program - BRAC

Homefinders.com is here to help our military and civilian personnel involved in the BRAC program moves to Maryland and Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.  Finding a home in a new location can be hard when you don’t know the area.  Also, the Washington, DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia area is known as a high housing cost area, when compared with the locations from which our military and civilian families are moving.  The compensation for this increased cost is offset by the higher housing allowances for military personnel when transferring to this area.  

Military and civilian personnel relocating to Maryland and Virginia will face many challenges in the months and years to come.  BRAC is reassigning (moving) about 60,000 to 80,000 critical service and civilian employees to new duty stations to further the efficiency of our military and defense establishments.  This program will necessitate major personnel changes in the job locations for local Maryland and Northern Virginia military bases including but not limited to:
