COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With over 10 years participating in the RE/MAX Properties, Inc Military First Cash Rebate Program in Colorado Springs, Jay Carden shares his expertise, helping potential buyers and sellers in the service to be mindful of some basic yet critical steps before and during a real estate transaction.

As an active or former service member of the military, many have witnessed multiple moves throughout their career and know the process can be very involved. For individuals and families soon to uproot and relocate to a new area, the idea of moving to unfamiliar territory can be overwhelming at best. Jay Carden has been using his 10 + years of experience to provide top level experience for the moving process, making the potential move easier for the client.

Find a top rated local lender

Seeking out and finding a lender in the area of relocation that specializes in VA loans provides many advantages. Compared to national lenders, regional loan officers can provide a more in-depth, transparent experience which may potentially save thousands in closing costs. It's important to have a lender know the area, the VA loan process and can help ensure one is getting into a price range that is affordable long term. Many forget when purchasing a home that many recurring expenses get tacked on beyond the mortgage such as utilities, property taxes, homeowners insurance and more.

Check the commute

We've heard the term "location, location, location!" right? Well it's true, one may find the perfect property but it's important to consider the actual distance and potential commute to the military base or work destination. Many think a 10 mile drive equals a 15 minute trip, but in this popular region that could easily double during rush hour. A great local agent and lender will help one understand what is to be expected when living in specific locations.

Finding the best school districts

Many of the schools around a military base are friendly to military personnel, and are great, top rated schools. However, it's important to do the homework and learn more about the programs available for children. There may be immense value in living closest to the school that has programs that best match what one wants most for their kids. An agent or lender can help with those recommendations and pull ratings and research on area schools.
