Getting PCS orders comes with a mix of excitement and stress. Along with preparing for a new assignment, you’re often facing tight timelines, big financial decisions, and the challenge of buying a home from out of state. If you’re PCSing to Scott Air Force Base, we want you to know this right away: you don’t have to do this alone.
We are Military Relocation Specialists, and we have helped over 100 military families and counting successfully buy homes near Scott Air Force Base. This is not something we do on the side. It’s what we specialize in, and it’s what we truly love doing. Helping military families feel confident, supported, and at home during a PCS is the heart of our work.
Scott Air Force Base is located in southern Illinois, just east of St. Louis, and is surrounded by welcoming, military friendly communities. Many service members and their families choose to buy homes off base to create stability and make the most of their time at Scott AFB.
Popular areas for buying a home near Scott Air Force Base include Belleville, O’Fallon, Shiloh, Mascoutah, and nearby communities. Each area offers different home styles, price points, commute times, and neighborhood atmospheres. We take the time to help you understand those differences so you can choose a home and community that truly fit your life.
Buying a home during a PCS isn’t like a typical home purchase. You may be house hunting from another state, relying on virtual tours, coordinating inspections remotely, and making decisions on a tight schedule. We understand these challenges because we work with PCS buyers every day.
As Military Relocation Specialists, we’ve built a home buying process specifically for military families, including:
Detailed virtual home tours so you can confidently view homes from anywhere
Being your boots on the ground for showings, inspections, and walkthroughs
Clear guidance on neighborhoods and current market conditions near Scott AFB
Support navigating VA loans and military specific timelines
Consistent communication so you always know what’s happening and what comes next
We care deeply about making sure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported throughout the entire process.
Many of the military families we help use VA loans when buying near Scott Air Force Base. VA loans are an incredible benefit, and when used correctly, they can make homeownership more accessible during a PCS. We have extensive experience guiding VA buyers and coordinating with trusted lenders who understand military timelines and requirements.
Our goal is to help your purchase move smoothly so you can focus on your transition to Scott AFB.
Buying a home during a PCS is a big step, and we don’t take that lightly. We love helping military families put down roots, feel confident in their decisions, and start the next chapter of their lives near Scott Air Force Base on the right foot.
If you’re PCSing to Scott AFB and planning to buy a home in the Scott Air Force Base area, we would be honored to help you. When you’re ready, reach out and let’s take the next step together.
