Start with what you need

Pick the path closest to your situation. If it’s a mix, the strategy call sorts it out.

Buying a home

First home or next home, with a clear plan from pre-approval to closing.

Selling a home

A free home value and a pricing plan built on real comparable sales.

Using a VA loan

Entitlement, the funding fee, VA appraisals, and offers that compete.

PCS to Reno

Neighborhoods by commute, schools, and BAH, including buying before you arrive.

PCS to NAS Fallon

Compare Fallon, Fernley, and Reno around your assignment and household needs.

Army installations

Plan around Carson City, Sierra Army Depot, or Hawthorne Army Depot.

VA buying in Sparks

Explore Spanish Springs, Wingfield Springs, and Kiley Ranch with your own checklist.

A PCS move isn’t a normal home purchase

You have a hard deadline, you may be buying sight unseen, and you may be using a loan many agents rarely handle.

Built around your report date

Pre-approval, offer, and closing are all scheduled back from the day you need keys.

Buy from anywhere

Live video tours, e-signatures, and remote closings work from across the country or overseas.

VA appraisal know-how

Minimum property requirement issues get flagged before you offer, not after the appraiser shows up.

Local base knowledge

Compare neighborhoods against your actual installation, reporting requirements, and household priorities.

One aligned team

Coordinate with your lender, inspector, and title team so everyone understands the dates.

Referrals when you leave

Moving again? Start with a sale timeline that accounts for your next assignment.

From first call to keys in five steps

Your lender and contract set the actual timeline. Start with your report date, then leave room for inspections, appraisal, and closing.

1. Free strategy call

Report date, installation, budget, must-haves. We start with the details that shape your move.

2. Pre-approval

Your lender reviews your eligibility and entitlement and issues a pre-approval letter.

3. Tour in person or by video

Shortlist by commute and schools, then tour live, even from overseas.

4. Make a strong offer

A VA offer positioned to compete, with inspection and appraisal coordinated for you.

5. Close on your schedule

Sign remotely if needed. Confirm the possession date before arranging your arrival.

Stephanie Klausner, Realtor with Dickson Realty

An Army family background, applied to your move

I’m Stephanie Klausner, a Realtor with Dickson Realty. I come from an Army family; I did not serve. That background means short-notice orders, house hunting from a thousand miles away, and getting settled before a report date are all familiar to me.

I know VA loans well and explain them in plain English. We can work through your questions, deadlines, and next steps together.

Military and VA home buying, answered

What is a military Realtor, and why use one?

A military Realtor understands what a typical agent learns on the fly: PCS report dates, BAH, VA appraisal requirements, buying from out of state, and closing while you’re still at your current duty station.

Can I really buy with a VA loan and $0 down?

Eligible service members, veterans, Guard and Reserve members, and some surviving spouses can buy a primary residence with no down payment and no monthly PMI. Your lender confirms eligibility and approval.

Can I buy a house before I arrive?

Yes. Video tours, electronic signatures, and mobile notaries let many buyers go under contract, and often close, before their report date. Your lender will confirm occupancy requirements.

Will sellers accept a VA offer?

They do when it’s written and positioned correctly. Explaining the appraisal process to the listing agent up front and keeping the timeline tight makes a VA offer look as strong as any other.

Do you only work with military clients?

No. Military families are my specialty, but I help every buyer and seller with the same attention.
