Buying with a VA loan or on military orders
VA loans and military timelines, handled with a lender who knows VA and a plan around your dates.
VA loans and military moves have their own timing
Buying a home with a VA loan, or on military orders, works a little differently. The loan has its own steps, including a VA appraisal. And if you're moving on orders, your timeline isn't yours to set.
Some sellers and agents still misunderstand VA offers. Part of my job is making sure your offer is presented clearly and taken seriously.

How my team helps military and VA buyers
I'm Brenda Maggy, Principal Broker of Beach-Homes Realty and Lake Homes Realty in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. For VA buyers, we'll start by connecting you with a lender who does VA loans regularly, because their experience shapes how smoothly the loan goes.
If you're moving on orders, we'll plan the search around your dates. Much of the early work can happen remotely, with remote tours when you can't be here, and showings planned around the trips you can make.
What the process looks like
- A VA-experienced lender and your certificate of eligibility.
- A plan built around your dates, including remote tours if needed.
- A focused search. See how the search works.
- An offer presented clearly, with your loan explained to the seller's side.
- The VA appraisal, due diligence and closing, with every deadline tracked. See closing.
This page describes how my team generally works. Loan questions belong with your lender.
