Sign into your accountHow Agents Can Help Military Veterans Become Homeowners
November 10 2016
When it comes to housing, our service men and women face several unique challenges, from finding a home from abroad to navigating the confusing world of VA mortgage loans.
This Veterans Day, we want to help you serve those who serve us to achieve the pinnacle of the American Dream--homeownership.
1. Use technology to work with relocating service members from afar. Active members of the military often have to find housing before they physically relocate to an area. Tech tools like Skype, FaceTime, virtual tours, and digital transaction management are key parts of your arsenal here. For a list long distance communication tools, see 7 Tools For Working With Clients Remotely.
2. Look for houses with good resale value. One challenge military members face is something called a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). This means that service men and women are often uprooted on short notice and reassigned to a new base. Because of this, it's helpful that any home they own has strong resale value so it can be sold quickly in case of PCS. This is especially important if the current home needs to be sold before the new one can be purchased.
