Navigating a PCS Home Sale in “Military City USA”
Military life moves fast—over 400,000 service members receive PCS orders every year. If yours just hit, you’re juggling packing lists, reporting dates, and the big question: “How do I sell my home in time?”
I’m Anthony Sharp—USAF veteran, Military Relocation Professional, and local Realtor serving Randolph AFB, Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and every base in-between. I’ve walked this road myself and helped 100+ military families do the same.
Why PCS Sales Are Different
Compressed timelines: Orders often allow 60–90 days — sometimes less.
Double-housing risk: Carrying two mortgages or rent+mortgage can wreck cash flow.
Remote logistics: Showings, repairs, and closing may happen after you’ve already moved
Emotional strain: Leaving friends, schools, and routines in a hurry is hard on any family.
