As real estate professionals, we often focus on conventional buyers—but there’s a group that deserves our extra attention: our veterans and active-duty military. VA loans offer incredible benefits—no down payment, no private mortgage insurance, and often lower interest rates—but many eligible buyers aren’t taking advantage of them.
Unfortunately, some listing agents shy away from accepting VA loans, assuming they’re harder to appraise or close. I’ve seen VA clients lose out on offers because of this hesitation. One of my VA buyers even needed three attempts before a seller would accept their offer—and that was only because it was a VA seller! Despite the hurdles, we still closed on time, without a hitch.
Helping veterans isn’t just good business—it’s the right thing to do. These men and women have served our country, and we can serve them by making homeownership more accessible. By understanding VA loans and guiding our military clients through the process, we can help them achieve their dream homes with confidence.
Every conversation, referral, and bit of guidance matters. If you’re a veteran or active-duty service member and want more information about VA loans or buying your next home, DM me today—I’d love to help you make your homeownership dreams a reality.
