COMPASS Military Division

I am intimately familiar with NAS Whidbey Island and the surrounding towns and cities.  Having been stationed at NASWI 3 separate times throughout the course of my husband's 22 year service, I've lived in the area for many years cumulatively.  I am also keenly aware of the local real estate market and some of the challenges that our military personnel and families face regarding housing.

One of the most challenging things that military families face is having to move to a new location without having a place to live.  The base housing wait lists are long here, and rentals are expensive.  If you have orders to NASWI, I'm more than happy to assist in the purchase of a home long-distance, prior to your arrival.  I can provide a 360 virtual walkthrough of any home (with seller's permission), I can provide live FaceTime tours, and I can plan a comprehensive tour if you're able to take house hunting leave and come out for a couple days ahead of time.  All of this makes it possible to close on a home around the time you PCS, allowing you to move directly into your new home.

The VA loan is usually the most beneficial for military personnel, however there are a variety of other financing options available, such as conventional mortgages or FHA loans.  I can connect you with a trusted local lender to help you find the best financing option for your needs, but most importantly one who is familiar with the VA loan.
