Leaving Northern Virginia doesn't have to mean selling

For most military and government homeowners, the hard part isn’t buying. It’s what comes after, when orders arrive, an assignment changes, or a new position takes the family somewhere else. Since 2013, we’ve helped military families and government personnel navigate every kind of move…and the questions that come with it.

One local team for every stage of owning a home in Northern Virginia

Most real estate relationships end at closing. Ours are built to last through the purchase, the move and the eventual sale, because that’s how military and government careers actually work.

Keep it when you leave

PCS orders don’t automatically mean selling. We lease the home, handle maintenance and repairs, collect rent and send monthly statements you can check from anywhere.

Sell when you're ready

When it’s time to let the house go, you don’t need to start over with a new person who is unfamiliar with it. We prepare it, market it, and close the sale, even when you are located in another state or country.

We know what happens after the move

A typical real estate transaction ends at closing. For a military or government homeowner, that’s often when the bigger questions start: the transfer, the tour overseas, the tenant, the repair call, and the day you finally decide to sell.

Because we handle both real estate sales and property management, one local team can know your home from the day you buy it to the day you sell it.

One relationship. One local team. A home that can move with your life.

Real clients. Real moves. Real homes.

Our clients trust us through purchases, relocations, years of property management and the eventual sale.

When it came time for a military move, a friend recommended Angie and we rented our condo in the DC area with Command as our property manager for close to 5 years until it came time for us to sell. Angie sold our condo, got us our asking price, was very helpful, and overall made the process very pleasant!
