Selling Your House Fast for Military PCS or Relocation
When PCS orders come in, the clock starts ticking. You might have 30 days — sometimes less — to pack up your life and report to your next duty station. The last thing you need is a house sitting on the MLS for months while you are halfway across the country.
Old Fashioned Home Buyers serves military families throughout the DMV, including areas near Quantico, Fort Belvoir, Joint Base Andrews, the Pentagon, Fort Meade, and Naval Station Annapolis. We can close in as little as 7 days — well within most PCS timelines.
Why Military Families Choose Us
- We match your PCS timeline — close before your reporting date
- No repairs needed, even if base housing wore the house down
- No agent commissions eating into your BAH savings
- We have worked with SCRA protections and VA loan assumptions
- Remote closing available if you have already relocated

Worried there's a catch? Here's the honest truth.
We know selling to a cash buyer can feel uncertain. Here are the real answers to what most homeowners ask us.
"Will you just lowball me?"
No. We base every offer on your home's condition, location, and recent nearby sales — and we walk you through exactly how we got the number. There's no pressure to say yes.
"Is this actually legit?"
Yes. We're Anny and Mourad — local DMV buyers, not a national call center. You deal with a real person from your first call all the way to closing.
"Are there hidden fees or commissions?"
None. No agent commissions, no closing costs, no surprise deductions. The cash offer we give you is the amount you walk away with.
"What if my house needs a lot of work?"
That's exactly who we help. We buy houses fully as-is — outdated, damaged, or full of belongings. You don't clean, repair, or fix a thing.
"Do I have to accept the offer?"
Never. The offer is free and no-obligation. Take your time, compare it, talk it over with family — the decision is always yours.
"How fast can this really happen?"
As quickly as 7 days if you need it — or on whatever timeline works for you. If you need more time to move, we work around your schedule.
Selling During a Relocation or PCS Move: What Owners in Maryland, Virginia and D.C. Should Know
Military and job relocations often come with firm report dates, and selling a house on someone else’s schedule is stressful. The DMV has a large military and federal workforce, and many owners need to move quickly with little time for repairs or showings.
Key things to consider
- Work backward from your report date: decide when you need to be out and when you need the sale to close.
- Carrying two homes: a long listing period can mean paying a mortgage on a house you no longer live in.
- Remote selling: many owners are out of state during the sale, and a simple process helps.
- Check your benefits: military and relocation benefits may affect your plans, so ask your relocation office.
How a cash sale works
We buy for cash and can work to your move date. After you share details, we make an offer based on the home’s condition. If you accept, you pick the closing date, and much of the process can be handled remotely with the title company.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell remotely while stationed or relocated?
Often yes. Many closings can be done with mail-away or remote signing arrangements, depending on the title company and state.
What if I need a very fast closing?
Tell us your date. Because we pay cash, there is no buyer loan approval to wait on.
