PCS season brings opportunity—but also risk. Tight timelines and high stress leave little room for error. The biggest mistakes aren’t about effort. They’re about strategy.


The most common missteps we see:

• Relying on online estimates that ignore BAH brackets and command timing

• Waiting to “see how orders shake out” and losing early leverage

• Underestimating VA loan details that can derail timelines

• Choosing speed over a coordinated support team

• Treating Oak Harbor like a generic market instead of a military-driven micro-market shaped by NAS Whidbey


Bottom line:
Military moves don’t have to feel overwhelming. With a clear plan and a team-first approach, you protect your benefits, reduce stress, and land on your timeline. A team will always outperform an individual—and five-star service makes the process smooth.
