Financing
VA loans: No down payment required in most cases, no private mortgage insurance, and a reusable lifetime benefit. The VA funding fee varies by down payment and first versus subsequent use, and some buyers are exempt. Ideal for eligible military buyers.
FHA and conventional: Lower-down-payment paths for first-time buyers and solid options for everyone else. GG helps you compare real numbers from real lenders.
The pre-approval: Get it before house hunting. It sets your range, strengthens your offer, and keeps you from wasting time on homes that don't fit.
Good questions
Real questions GG hears from buyers every week, with straight answers.
Ask a question of your ownIt's strongly recommended. A pre-approval tells you what you can realistically afford, makes your offer competitive, and saves you from falling for homes outside your range. GG can connect you with lenders who work regularly with VA, FHA, and conventional buyers.
Eligible service members and veterans can buy with no down payment in most cases, no private mortgage insurance, and competitive rates. The VA funding fee varies by down payment and whether it's your first use, and some buyers, including those receiving VA disability compensation, are exempt. Your lender will walk through the specifics.
For Quantico, that often means Triangle, Dumfries, Woodbridge, or Stafford. For Fort Belvoir, communities like Lorton, Springfield, and Alexandria-area neighborhoods. For the Pentagon and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Arlington and Alexandria are the closest options, with trade-offs in price and space.
It varies by price point and season, but a focused search typically runs several weeks to a couple of months once financing is ready. GG helps you narrow the field fast so you're comparing homes that actually fit your criteria.
Expect closing costs, lender fees, title and settlement charges, a home inspection, and in many communities an HOA if the home is in one. Property taxes and insurance are ongoing. GG provides a clear estimate early so there are no surprises at closing.
Tell GG where you're headed, what you need, and when. She'll build a search that fits your budget, your commute, and your timeline.
