VA buyers in the Sheaborhood
VA and military buyers considering the Sheaborhood get a central location and established homes. Luke Air Force Base is in the West Valley, so if you are stationed there, compare commute times before choosing a North Phoenix neighborhood.
Older homes and the VA appraisal
VA loans come with minimum property requirements. Established homes can have condition items that come up at the VA appraisal, so we flag them early. I am a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty. More: VA and military buyers.
