Driving up to Shandon today for a home inspection. 🇺🇸🏡
I typically like to stay within about an hour of home when I work, and there’s a reason for that.
Real estate is local.
One street can mean a $100,000 difference in value. Neighborhoods, schools, traffic patterns, future development, resale local knowledge matters when you’re helping someone make one of the biggest purchases of their life.
But I decided to take this buyer on because they’re military and using their VA benefits.
I love all my clients equally, but there’s something about helping our military families that makes going the extra mile feel right.
So today I’m learning a new market, personally checking on the property, and making sure they’re protected.
We’ve already helped them negotiate $20,000 in seller closing-cost credits, and paired with their VA loan, they’re purchasing this home with very little money out of pocket.
Sometimes doing the job right means driving a little farther. ❤️🇺🇸
If you’re military and wondering what your VA benefits could help you buy, send me a message.
