How to Sell Your Home During a PCS Move

Receiving PCS orders often means making quick decisions about selling your current home. Unlike the traditional home-selling timeline, military families may have just a few months to prepare, list, and close on a property. With the right strategy and support, selling under these circumstances can be both efficient and successful.

Prepare your home quickly
The first step is to make your home market-ready. Focus on essential repairs, fresh paint, and decluttering. These small changes make a big impact on buyers and help your home stand out.

Price it right from the start
Military relocations often come with strict timelines. Overpricing a home can delay the process, while competitive pricing helps attract offers faster. A Compass Military real estate professional can provide a market analysis to determine the best listing price for your area.

Market with urgency in mind
High-quality photos, virtual tours, and strong online listings are critical. Many buyers start their home search online, and in a fast-moving market, your home needs to capture attention immediately.

Be prepared for remote buyers
Military families relocating to your area may need to buy sight unseen. Ensuring your listing has detailed descriptions and a virtual showing option will help attract these buyers.

Work with an agent who understands military timelines
Compass Military professionals know the unique challenges of PCS moves. They can coordinate closing schedules with reporting dates, work with relocation companies, and guide sellers through the process with precision.
