How It Works for Military PCS

- Call us with your PCS timeline. Tell us your report date, we'll build a close date around it.
- Quick property walkthrough. We can do this in person or virtually if you've already moved.
- Cash offer within 24 hours. Fair, transparent, based on market comps. No obligation.
- You pick the closing date. 14 days, 30 days, or timed to your DITY/PPM move. Your call.
- Close remotely if needed. Mobile notary or mail-away closing through the title company.
Florida's Military Base Footprint
Florida has 21 military installations, the third-highest concentration in the country. About 94,000 active-duty service members are stationed here. That means PCS moves out of Florida happen constantly, and homes near bases face a unique selling challenge: your buyer pool is mostly other military families who'll PCS out in 2-4 years themselves.
We buy homes near every Florida base, including:
- MacDill AFB (Tampa) - CENTCOM/SOCOM area homes
- Eglin AFB / Hurlburt Field (Fort Walton Beach) - Emerald Coast
- Patrick SFB (Brevard County) - Space Coast
- NAS Jacksonville / NS Mayport - Northeast Florida
- NAS Pensacola / NAS Whiting Field - Panhandle
- Tyndall AFB (Panama City) - Still rebuilding after Hurricane Michael
- Homestead ARB (Miami-Dade) - South Florida
The Cost of Carrying Two Homes
When your home doesn't sell before you PCS, you're stuck paying two housing costs. Here's what that looks like for a typical $300,000 Florida home:
| Monthly Expense | Cost |
|---|---|
| Mortgage (P&I at 6.5%) | $1,580 |
| Property taxes | $375 |
| Insurance | $350 - $550 |
| HOA (if applicable) | $200 - $400 |
| Lawn/pool maintenance | $150 - $250 |
| Total monthly bleed | $2,655 - $3,155 |
That's $8,000-$9,500 for a 3-month listing period, on top of whatever you're paying at your new duty station. And your BAH only covers one location.
SCRA and Your Home Sale
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA, 50 U.S.C. Chapter 50) provides protections for active-duty members, but it doesn't help you sell faster. It caps mortgage interest at 6% during active service and prevents foreclosure without a court order, but those protections don't reduce your monthly carrying costs when you're paying for a house 1,500 miles from your new post.
One thing the SCRA does help with: if you're underwater because of a recent PCS purchase and the market dipped, you can request a short sale without the usual credit damage. But a cash sale that closes before you report eliminates the problem entirely. No short sale needed, no double payment period, and no vacant home security concerns.

Real Example: E-6 at Patrick SFB
An Air Force E-6 received PCS orders from Patrick Space Force Base to Joint Base Lewis-McChord with a 45-day report date. Their 3-bed/2-bath in Melbourne needed cosmetic work and they'd already started outprocessing. We made a cash offer within 24 hours, closed in 21 days, and handled the entire process remotely after they shipped their household goods. No double mortgage, no vacant house to worry about 3,000 miles away.
