Military & Veteran Realtor in Arkansas

Why Military & Veteran Homebuyers in Arkansas Need a Specialized Realtor

Military families face challenges civilian buyers don’t:

• Compressed PCS timelines

• VA loan appraisal and repair rules

• Remote buying and closing

• BAH-based budgeting

• Buying or selling while deployed or out of state

A general real estate agent cannot navigate this efficiently.

Ashley Watters works exclusively with military and veteran homebuyers relocating to Central Arkansas and understands the realities of PCS moves, VA loan strategy, and military timelines.

This is not a niche add-on.

This is a specialization.
