Talk to Us About the VA Loan

Why it matters who your agent is

Most agents know the VA loan exists. We know how it works.

The VA loan is one of the best benefits you earned. But a lot of agents (and some sellers) don't understand it, and that can cost you a house.

We know the funding fee, the appraisal quirks, and the repairs that can come up. We write offers that make sellers comfortable saying yes, and we stay on top of the details all the way to closing.

VA loan basics

What you should know

The short version. Your lender will confirm your exact eligibility and numbers.

$0 down is possible

Eligible buyers with full entitlement can often buy with no down payment.

No monthly PMI

VA loans don't carry monthly private mortgage insurance like many conventional loans with low down payments.

The funding fee

A one-time fee that can usually be rolled into the loan. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are generally exempt.

The VA appraisal

The appraiser checks the home's value and its condition against VA minimum property requirements. We know what tends to get flagged.

Closing costs

Closing costs are usually the #1 worry. VA rules allow sellers to help with them, and we'll negotiate for that.

Certificate of Eligibility

Your COE shows you qualify for the benefit. A VA-approved lender can usually help you get it.

The game plan

Florida perks for some veterans

Florida offers property tax exemptions for certain veterans, including some with service-connected disabilities. Check with your county property appraiser to see what you qualify for.
