As a service member with over 21+ years of military experience, I know firsthand the challenges and stresses that come with PCS moves. I personally PCS’d to Oahu in 2006 and have proudly called Kailua home since 2008.
I served aboard the USS Key West for 5 years before completing shore duty at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. After 10 years of Active Duty, I transitioned to the Navy Reserve in 2015. I rose to the rank of ETVC(SS) before being commissioned in 2016 as a Submarine Electronics LDO and today serve as a LCDR in the Navy Reserve.
While I hold the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation, what sets me apart is my ability to directly relate to the military lifestyle and its impact on the homebuying process. I’ve lived it, and I understand the unique needs of service members and their families.
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.
