We understand PCS moves
A PCS move is not a normal home purchase. You're working with orders, BAH calculations, VA loan timelines, and you may be buying a home in a place you've never been. We make it work. Here's how:
- Remote home tours via live video walkthrough — buy before you arrive
- VA loan specialists on our lender network who close on time
- Area comparisons based on your duty station, commute, budget, and stated preferences
- A look at your allowance and budget before you tour, without treating BAH as a home price
- Fast turnaround — we work on military timelines, not ours
- Experience with PCS buyers from Camp Lejeune, Bragg, Pendleton, and more
VA loan advantages
Your service earned you one of the best mortgage products available. As a Veterans United top 1% nationally trusted partner, we know how to put your VA benefit to work.
Zero Down Payment
VA loans require no down payment. Keep your savings for the move, not a 20% deposit.
No PMI — Ever
No private mortgage insurance means lower monthly payments compared to conventional loans with less than 20% down.
Competitive Rates
VA loan rates are typically lower than conventional rates. The VA backing gives lenders confidence, and that savings goes to you.
Flexible Credit Requirements
VA loans are more forgiving on credit scores. If you're working on building credit, a VA loan may still be an option.

Military buyer FAQ
Can I buy a home near MCAS Beaufort with a VA loan?
Yes. VA loans are common in Beaufort County. Eligible buyers can buy with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. We work with buyers using a VA loan and with lenders who handle that paperwork.
What are the BAH rates for MCAS Beaufort?
Basic Allowance for Housing depends on pay grade and whether you have dependents. Look up the 2026 rate for your duty-station ZIP on the Defense Travel Management Office site. The air station's visitor center lists ZIP 29904. We do not turn that allowance into a home price.
How do I buy a home during a PCS if I can't visit first?
We handle remote PCS buyers regularly. We do live video walkthroughs, set up automated searches, and coordinate with your lender. You can close before you arrive.
Are there noise zones near MCAS Beaufort I should know about?
Yes. Some areas near MCAS Beaufort may be affected by aircraft-noise exposure. We help buyers review available public information, compare commute times, and evaluate properties based on their stated preferences. Buyers should independently verify noise-zone information before purchasing.
What if I get PCS orders and need to sell later?
We help with that too. We can list the home, or help you set it up as a rental if you'd rather keep it.
Do you work with Parris Island families too?
Yes. We work with buyers stationed at Parris Island as well as MCAS Beaufort. The depot is south of Beaufort, with one published road on and off the island. Time the drive. Many staff members buy, and many rent. It depends on the orders and the budget.
PCS orders in hand?
Let's get you set up before you even arrive. We'll find the right home, coordinate with your lender, and have keys waiting.
