PCS Orders Just Dropped. Can You Sell in Time?

By Kevin and Karyn Thomas | Level 10 Real Estate Group

You just got PCS orders — and the clock is ticking. Whether you're reporting in 90 days or deploying in 30, one question looms large:
Can we sell our home in time?

The good news? Yes, you can.
At Level 10 Real Estate Group, we specialize in helping military families sell under pressure — with a game plan built on precision, speed, and service. Here’s how to turn your sudden move into a successful home sale.

 Step 1: Contact a Real Estate Expert Immediately

Time is your most valuable asset. The moment your orders come in, it’s time to act.

When you contact us, we:

• Set up a same-day consultation (virtual or in person)

• Evaluate your home’s market value with a rapid CMA

• Build a plan that fits your report date and timeline

Even if you’re unsure whether to sell or rent, we’ll help you make the right move — fast.

 Step 2: Understand Your Options

Not all sales are created equal — and in a PCS situation, flexibility matters.

We’ll help you weigh:

• Traditional Listing – Maximize profit on the open market

• Home Trade-In Program – Buy your next home before you sell

• Investor Network or Off-Market Sale – Speed over top-dollar

• Renting it out – When it makes financial sense (and when it doesn’t)

Every situation is unique, so we tailor a strategy that works for your specific goals, equity, and timeline.

 Step 3: Price It Right the First Time

In fast moves, overpricing can cost you more than just time.

We use up-to-date comps and market insight to:

• Price your home competitively

• Attract strong, qualified buyers quickly (including VA buyers)

• Avoid the “price reduction spiral” that kills momentum

A smart price = faster showings, faster offers, and more money in your pocket when every day counts.

 Step 4: Market It Like a Mission

Just because you’re in a rush doesn’t mean you settle for less-than-stellar marketing. We go full throttle from day one with:

• Professional photography and drone shots

• Virtual tours and video walkthroughs

• Massive exposure on Zillow, Facebook, MLS, and military networks

• Targeted outreach to VA buyers, investors, and military relocation families

And if you’ve already moved? No worries. We can stage, clean, and prep your home for maximum impact — even without you here.

 Step 5: Prepare for the What-Ifs

What if your buyer needs 45 days to close… and you have 30?

That’s where we shine. We’ve helped clients:

• Use remote closings and POAs (power of attorney)

• Offer early occupancy agreements (so buyers can move in early)

• Tap into our Home Trade-In Program so they’re not stuck between closings

You’ll have a backup plan — and a real estate team that knows how to execute it with military precision.

 Final Thoughts

PCS moves can be chaotic — but your home sale doesn’t have to be.

With the right team, a clear plan, and a little hustle, you can sell smart, move fast, and keep your peace of mind. We’ve helped dozens of military families do it — and we’re ready to help you too.
