What Special Benefits or Programs Apply to Veterans Buying or Selling in WA?

Whether you're active duty, retired, or VA-eligible—Washington offers powerful benefits for military homebuyers and sellers. Here’s what you need to know:

BUYING IN WA:

• VA Loans – $0 down, no mortgage insurance, lower interest rates, flexible credit guidelines

• VA Appraisal Waivers – Some buyers may qualify to skip traditional appraisals

• State Property Tax Relief – WA offers property tax exemptions or reductions for disabled veterans

• Down Payment Assistance – Even if you use a VA loan, WA has programs for closing cost help

• Military-friendly lenders – I partner with lenders who understand BAH, LES, PCS, and fast turnarounds

SELLING IN WA:

• Capital Gains Exemptions – If you’ve lived in the home 2 of the past 5 years, you may exclude up to $500K in gains if married

• Remote closings – Military sellers often PCS before their home sells; we coordinate signings from afar

• Staging & prep support – I handle everything locally, even if you’re across the country or overseas

Community Connections: I work with local veteran nonprofits and resources to help military families with everything from housing to financial literacy. You served—we take care of the rest.
