Make a difference in the lives of those who serve our country. Join the ranks of elite real estate professionals equipped with the specialized knowledge and skills to help active-duty military families and veterans navigate military relocation transactions.

Update from the Department of Veterans Affairs

The VA is temporarily lifting its ban on buyers directly paying for professional real estate representation. This change is in effect until a formal rulemaking process is deemed necessary. This is a significant development for MRP certification holders serving VA buyers.
