How does a PCS move to Camp Lejeune work with a VA loan?

VA loans require a Certificate of Eligibility (COE), which your lender can pull directly. Once pre-approved, we can start home searching immediately — even remotely. The VA loan process typically takes 30–45 days to close, which aligns well with most PCS timelines.

What neighborhoods near Camp Lejeune are best for military families?

Northwoods, Henderson Drive, and Piney Green in Jacksonville offer great schools and short commutes to base. Swansboro is 30 minutes away with top-rated schools and a tight-knit community. Both offer strong BAH coverage in the $250k–$380k range.

Can I buy a home near Camp Lejeune using my BAH?

Absolutely. E-5 and above BAH rates in the Jacksonville, NC area typically support purchasing homes in the $250,000–$380,000 range with zero down using a VA loan. Many service members pay less in a mortgage than they would in off-base rent.

How quickly can I close on a home with PCS orders?

With VA financing and an experienced agent, closings in 21–30 days are achievable. We can also negotiate flexible closing dates and rent-back agreements to align with your report date.

"We got PCS orders to Lejeune and had 45 days to find a house. Aaron set us up with a VA lender, did three video tours while we were still at our old duty station, and we closed 3 days before we had to report. I can't recommend him enough for military families."
