Selling Your Home Fast: Strategies for Military Families on the Move

A Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move comes with unique challenges, and for many military families, selling their home quickly and efficiently is a top priority. Between short notice orders, unpredictable timelines, and fluctuating markets, getting the best price for your home while ensuring a smooth transition can feel overwhelming.

‍

That is where an MRES agent comes in. Our expertise in military relocations means we know how to position your home for a fast and profitable sale. Here are key strategies military families should consider before listing their home.

‍

Price It Right from the Start - Military-heavy markets move fast, but overpricing your home can lead to it sitting longer on the market, causing delays. An MRES agent analyzes market trends, recent sales, and buyer demand to price your home competitively while maximizing your return.

Highlight VA Loan Eligibility - Many military buyers use VA loans, and ensuring your home meets VA loan appraisal standards can attract more qualified buyers. This means keeping up with home maintenance and ensuring the property meets minimum property requirements.

Leverage Military Networks - An MRES agent taps into Veteran and military spouse networks to market your home to the right audience. By targeting motivated buyers who understand the military lifestyle, your home is more likely to sell quickly.

Stage for Success - A well-presented home sells faster and for more money. Decluttering, neutralizing decor, and making small updates (such as fresh paint or minor repairs) can make a significant difference.

Selling a home during a PCS move does not have to be stressful. With an MRES agent by your side, you can sell your home quickly and with confidence.
