Camp Lejeune & MCAS New River PCS planning
Turn your orders into a housing plan
Report dates do not leave room for scattered research. Gabby helps military households compare communities, plan remote property review, and coordinate the real-estate timeline around a move to or from the Jacksonville area.
First conversation
The six facts that make the search useful
Duty location
Name the installation and likely work area when known; commute priorities vary by gate and schedule.
Housing route
Compare installation housing, renting, and buying against your orders, finances, expected tenure, and risk tolerance.
Financing status
If buying, connect with qualified lenders early and verify VA eligibility and loan details with official sources.
Household needs
List accessibility, pets, vehicles, bedrooms, work-from-home space, schools, and non-negotiables.
Remote decisions
Define who must see what, how documents will be signed, and which decisions cannot be made without an in-person visit.
