An Agent With Real Military Experience
Most agents call themselves "military-friendly." Don Perrin served. Twenty years in the U.S. Navy, starting as an enlisted sailor and finishing as a commissioned officer, before earning his real estate license and making military families his full-time focus.
I have lived the PCS move. I have used the VA loan. I know what it feels like to buy a house long-distance on a tight timeline with a family counting on you to get it right.
That experience is the foundation of MilVets Home Team. Whether you are buying your first home with your VA benefit, selling before your next set of orders, or trying to figure out how your BAH fits into the Northern Virginia market, you are working with someone who has been exactly where you are.

Every service we offer is designed around the realities of military life: tight timelines, VA financing, BAH budgets, and the specific demands of a PCS move.
VA Loan Purchases
We handle every step, from Certificate of Eligibility to closing day. We partner with VA-approved lenders and fight to protect your benefit throughout the transaction.
PCS Relocation
Orders in hand? We move fast. Virtual tours, remote signings, and contract structures timed to your report date. Many of our clients close before they land in Virginia.
BAH Strategy
We help you understand your Basic Allowance for Housing and build a buying strategy around it, whether your goal is to cover the mortgage fully, build equity, or pocket the difference.
Pre-PCS Listings
Selling before your next set of orders? We specialize in fast, strategic listings built around departure dates. Pre-marketing, vendor coordination, and timeline contracts handled for you.
Neighborhood Intel
Fort Belvoir gate access, Pentagon commute corridors, HOV lanes, VRE stops, school quality, and BAH-aligned community options, all from someone who knows this market on the ground.
Veteran Buyers and Sellers
Retired and no longer on active duty? Your VA entitlement still belongs to you. We help veterans navigate home purchases, equity decisions, and property sales across the DMV.
The Right Community for Your Orders
Alexandria and the communities immediately surrounding Fort Belvoir are premier choices for military families. Whether you prefer the historic charm of Old Town Alexandria or the family-friendly suburbs of Kingstowne, the area offers a wide range of housing types across every BAH bracket.
