Kelsey and I are an Army family. We’ve PCS’d, sold under a report date and made this move ourselves, so every plan we build starts from your report date, your BAH and the schools your kids will attend. I’m the licensed REALTOR® on the team, in Georgia and Alabama; Kelsey keeps every step coordinated. — Arrio
- Licensed on both sides of the river. Columbus and Harris County in Georgia, Phenix City, Russell County and Smiths Station in Alabama, so you can compare both without switching agents.
- Tours that work before you get here. In person, on live video, or both, and we walk the inspection in person when you can’t be here yet.
- Fluent in VA loans. Offers, appraisals, second-tier entitlement and assumptions: the parts that decide whether a VA purchase closes on time.
- A plan from the day orders arrive. Report-date timelines, school zones, and a clear sell-or-rent call on the house you’re leaving.
