Military Relocation
Military families know that relocation is a way of life for them. They learn early how to adapt to a move that means leaving friends and activities, finding a new home, dealing with relocation expenses, and sometimes living in cramped hotel quarters.
There are many military relocation specialists working exclusively representing home buyers. Some of them have offices near military installations and many of them have been part of a military career family so they empathize with your situation. Often base housing is not readily available so many personnel will do better with a VA ‘no-no' (no money down, no closing costs) according to some exclusive buyer's agents.
Prior to your house hunting trip you should find an agent with daily email notification (listings and photos) so that you can learn about the market. Using the Internet is a cost-effective way of doing the research when the relocation is from a long distance.
Studies have shown that the link to community greatly impacts family problems such as children acting out and marital tension. Parents can help their children by getting involved in their new community and using the Family Support Center for relocation information, schools and family organizations that will help their children adjust. According to a 2004 study by USAA, 66 percent of the children said the hardest part was leaving friends whereas only 6 percent felt that the move itself was the hardest part.
