PCS Guide
PCS Moving Guide — Northern Virginia
A step-by-step PCS guide for military families relocating to Northern Virginia, built around real orders, real timelines, and real base assignments.
The four pillars of a successful PCS
- Timeline discipline — from orders to settlement
- Base-aware area selection and commute planning
- Financing readiness — VA loan, entitlement, funding fee
- Household goods and family logistics coordination
The 90-day action plan
- Days 90–60: choose target areas, get pre-approved, schedule virtual tours.
- Days 60–30: submit offers, complete inspection, lock rate, order appraisal.
- Days 30–0: coordinate closing, HHG delivery, utilities, school enrollment.
The VA loan advantage
0% down, no PMI, competitive rates, and reusable entitlement. Johnny works with VA-experienced lenders to keep timelines tight and paperwork correct.
