As a service member with 18+ years of military experience, I understand the challenges and stresses that come with PCSing. In 2006, I PCS'd to Oahu and have been residing in Kailua since 2008. During my time here, I served aboard the USS Key West for 5 years and completed my shore duty at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard as an Active Duty Sailor before transferring to the Navy Reserve in early 2015. I rose to the rank of ETVC(SS) before commissioning as a Submarine Electronics LDO in 2016. I hold the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation like many agents, but more importantly I can directly relate to the military lifestyle and the challenges it can bring to the homebuying process.
Let me put my expertise to work for you. While buying on Oahu may or may not be the best choice for you, I always recommended talking to an experienced real estate professional before making that decision.Hawaii's real estate market is significantly different than that of the mainland and you can certainly miss out on a great opportunity by not fully understanding the buying power of your BAH.
It's essential to spend time familiarizing yourself with the local market before submitting any offers. For best results, I suggest connecting with an agent and lender six to eight months before your move. I have established relationships with the best local VA lenders on the island and I am always happy to make introductions.
If you have any questions about Hawaii's real estate market or want to discuss purchasing or selling on Oahu, don't hesitate to reach out to me. It would be my pleasure to help you and your family find your dream home in paradise.
Leaving island and don’t have a place to sell? I can help set you up at your next duty station too. Over the years I've developed an extensive national network of trusted military friendly agents and lenders. Always happy to make an introduction.
