Military & Veterans
Serving those who serve.
VA loans, PCS moves, and the unique needs of military families. I understand the process and the urgency, and I am here to help you find the right home.
Why Military Families Choose Dawn
I understand the urgency of a PCS timeline.
Military moves are not like other relocations. You do not always get to choose your timeline, and you need an agent who can move fast. I have helped service members and veterans buy homes in every situation: sight-unseen from across the country, during deployment, and on tight PCS deadlines.
I work with VA-experienced lenders, know the VA appraisal process inside and out, and understand the benefits available to you. Whether you are active duty, a veteran, or a military spouse, I am here to make sure you get into the right home.
VA Loan Expertise
VA loans offer 0% down payment with competitive interest rates. I work with lenders who specialize in VA financing and understand the process.
PCS Move Support
Need to buy from out of state on a tight timeline? I will be your eyes on the ground, handle showings via video, and make sure everything is ready when you arrive.
Local Market Knowledge
I know every neighborhood near Joint Base Lewis-McChord and throughout the Vancouver-Portland metro area. I will help you find the right community for your family.
VA Appraisal Guidance
VA appraisals have specific requirements. My contractor background means I can help you understand what will and will not pass, and how to address issues proactively.
VA Loan Basics
What you need to know about VA home loans.
- 0% down payment. VA loans are one of the few loan programs that require no down payment for eligible veterans and active-duty service members.
- Competitive interest rates. VA loans typically offer lower interest rates than conventional loans.
- No private mortgage insurance (PMI). VA loans do not require monthly PMI, which can save you hundreds per month.
- VA funding fee. There is a one-time funding fee that can be rolled into the loan. Some veterans with service-connected disabilities are exempt.
- Reusable benefit. Your VA loan benefit can be used more than once if you pay off the previous loan.
