The PCS papers are in hand and your heart is racing. San Antonio military relocation can be a stressful time unless you take the move by the horns and contact a real estate agent with personal knowledge of how the military works. Dixie Lyon, retired AF and EXIT Realty Partners II know that time is of the essence, so we work harder so you have everything you need when you report to your new duty station.
PCS Home Hunting Tips from Our Home to Yours
1. The military does not reimburse house hunting costs but up to 10 days of permissive TDY is often granted for a home search. Our agents will be ready and waiting to show you the maximum number of homes in a short period of time so you have a profitable trip. Before coming into town, it is important that our relocation experts know whether the move is a Lackland AFB relocation, Randolph AFB relocation, Fort Sam Houston relocation including San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) North and South. A list of home needs and wants is also crucial to narrow down the list of homes viewed during your permissive TDY.
2. Are there conferences or duty station events that can be attended before the move? Sometimes before a PCS date, there will be local events that can be used as a means of home searching or to sign papers for the home buying process. Any time in the new city or near the new duty station will help you get everything done before the big move.
3. Work with EXIT Realty Partners II for a detailed local map and email listings of homes in Schertz, Cibolo, San Antonio. We have an automated listing service that will deliver home listings to your email inbox based on search criteria you set up. Our agents can also offer information on local schools and neighborhoods to assure you are moving into the area you want and not just taking the listing on its word.
4. Your real estate agent is a teammate and friend. Though not many of us like to give away power during a move from one duty station to another, Dixie Lyon is the agent that understands military home buying. She is a retired active duty military veteran and she will work with you day and night to make the move flawless, if possible.
To speed up the process of military relocation to Schertz, Cibolo, or San Antonio Texas and home buying near your new duty station, make sure to have a copy of the pre-approval letter from your lender in hand when touring homes. Take a digital camera and leave children at home whenever possible. If mobile Internet access via a cell phone is accessible, pictures can be sent to a spouse waiting at home for a quick home decision.
