Orders to Closed™
The PCS home sale plan for Fort Hood military families. From orders in hand to keys handed over — from any duty station, in any time zone.
PCS Sellers Lose More Than Anyone
Not because the market is harder. Because the process is harder when you’re already at the next duty station.
- Tight PCS timeline means you accept the first decent offer — even when waiting two more weeks would’ve netted $15K more
- VA appraisal kills your deal in week 4 because a $300 repair list nobody flagged in week 1
- You can’t physically be at the inspection, the appraisal, or the closing — and your agent treats that like your problem to solve
- You’re nine time zones away and your agent only checks email during 9-to-5 Central
- Weak negotiation gives away $4,000 in repair credits because the buyer knows you’re under pressure
None of that is bad luck. It’s a process problem. This is the process fix.
What’s Included in the Orders to Closed™ Plan
Built specifically for active-duty and recently-separated military sellers. Every element is optimized for one thing: closing your sale at maximum proceeds, on your timeline, without you being physically present.
1. Free Home Profit Analysis ($300 value)
A personalized video analysis of your home’s value before you commit to anything. Comparable sales, three pricing scenarios, and what you’d actually net at each price. You decide the strategy with full information — even from Germany, Korea, or wherever orders sent you.
2. VA Appraisal Pre-Check ($350 value)
Before we list, I walk your home through the VA Minimum Property Requirements checklist — chipping paint on pre-1978 homes, missing handrails, exposed wiring, roof condition, water heater code, foundation visibility. Every item that trips up VA appraisers, addressed before it can cost you a deal. Failed VA appraisals reset your days-on-market clock and scare off the next buyer. We don’t let that happen.
3. Professional Photography + Cinematic Video + Drone ($1,000 value)
30+ professional photos. A cinematic walkthrough video. Drone footage of the lot, neighborhood, and proximity to base. Built for the buyer pool that’s shopping from out of state — because most Fort Hood PCS buyers are doing 90% of their search before they ever drive into Bell County.
4. Zillow Showcase Placement ($300 value)
Zillow’s premium listing format with 75% more views and 60% more saves than standard listings. Fewer than 10% of Central Texas listings get this placement. Yours does — because PCS buyers shop online first and your listing needs to win the click before it can win the offer.
5. Remote-Everything Transaction Management ($750 value)
Virtual signings via DocuSign and Notarize. Daily showing recap texts. Lockbox management with photo confirmation. Video walkthroughs of every offer breakdown. Coordination with your POA if you’ve granted one. We’ve closed sellers from Germany, Korea, Hawaii, Italy, and every CONUS post. You won’t be physically present for anything that matters — and you won’t need to be.
6. Time-Zone-Agnostic Communication ($450 value)
Every week, you get a video update — recorded, not live — with showing activity, online performance, market shifts, and what we’re doing next. Watch it whenever your schedule allows. Plus text updates for anything time-sensitive. We don’t treat 9-to-5 Central as the only window you can hear from us in.
7. Negotiation Audit on Every Offer ($750 value)
When an offer comes in, I record you a video walking through it line by line — price, financing strength, contingencies, repair credits, leaseback terms, closing costs, and your projected net. You see my full analysis before you decide. No “trust me, this is a good offer” from across the world.
Total Stacked Value: $3,900
What you pay extra for this plan: $0.
Every element above is included in our standard listing engagement for military sellers. No premium-tier upcharge. No “military package” pricing trick. You get the whole system because the system is what closes your sale on a PCS timeline.
Our Risk Reversal
If your home doesn’t sell, you don’t owe us a dime.
Not for photography. Not for video. Not for marketing. Not for any of it. We only get paid when you do.
You’re already managing a PCS move. The last thing you need is risk on the listing side. Every dollar we spend on your home is a bet we make on ourselves — that the pricing, the prep, the marketing, and the negotiation will get you closed. If we miss, we eat the cost. You walk away with your home off the market and no obligation, free to relist however and whenever you want.
