Are you looking for reliable information to help you with a military PCS relocation?  When it’s time to make a “Permanent Change of Station” in the military, you may dread the financial fallout of such a move.  The housing market is still in the doldrums, which is never a positive thing when you need to relocate every few years.  But there are some things you can do to save money on a military PCS relocation.  A little advance planning can keep you from losing money in the long run, and this Colorado Springs real estate blog can help.

If you and your family are like the 700,000 or so military service members who are moved to new locations every year, you know that it can be an expensive undertaking.  According to a recent article published on Military.com, military relocation can cost an average of $1,725 in non-reimbursable expenses.  Combine this with the difficulty of uprooting your family every few years, and it’s easy to see how a military PCS relocation can take its toll.

Before you get started on the move to Colorado Springs, find out how much the military will cover and how much of that will be your responsibility.  Set aside a budget for shipping charges, start-up fees on utilities and temporary housing expenses.  Then make a list of the things you will have to buy for your new home.  In addition to the Family Center at your current military base, a military relocation specialist in your new town can be an excellent resource.

In Colorado Springs, like many other military areas, real estate agents are anxious to win your business.  But make sure you work with a genuine military relocation realtor with experience in this area.  Some of the moving hassles are unavoidable, but you can ease the pain on your wallet by asking your realtor for help.   For military families, the experts at Action Team Realty in Colorado Springs are dedicated to making your military PCS relocation as pleasant and expedient as possible.  Beyond their long-term experience in the real estate market, Action Team is happy to help you get acclimated as you fall in love with the Pikes Peak region.
