Selling before a PCS

Orders can turn one housing decision into two markets at the same time.

Current-home decision

Sell, keep, or lease it? Make the choice in context.

Equity & proceedsUnderstand what a sale could contribute to reserves, debt reduction or the next purchase.
Rental economicsGross rent alone is not the answer. Consider vacancy, repairs, management, insurance, taxes and major capital items.
DistanceOwning a property from another duty station changes maintenance and management realities.
Move timelinePreparation, listing, contract timing and possession need to fit the report date.
Destination needsThe next market may require cash, flexibility or speed that changes the current-home decision.
Two-agent coordinationThe losing-market and gaining-market agents should understand the same timeline.

If your current home is in San Antonio

I can handle the listing side here.

My San Antonio listing practice uses Buyer-Specific Marketing to prepare and position the current property while the destination-agent introduction handles the gaining market.

Start with the housing decision before the property search.

Tell me where you are moving from, where you are going, and whether you expect to buy, rent, sell, or are still deciding. I will help organize the decision and coordinate the destination-market introduction.
