Military & VA Loan Specialist in San Diego
Buying or selling a home in San Diego as a service member or veteran requires more than a general real estate agent. Military moves come with tight timelines, VA loan requirements, BAH considerations, and PCS logistics that demand specialized knowledge.
Tamara Krause of Century 21 Affiliated is a Certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP) who has spent more than 20 years helping military families navigate the San Diego real estate market with confidence. With over 650 homes sold, she understands both the market and the unique challenges that come with military life.
VA Loan Expertise That Protects You
VA loans are one of the most powerful benefits available to service members and veterans — but they must be structured properly in competitive markets like San Diego.
Tamara helps military buyers:
• Navigate zero down payment options
• Understand VA loan limits and entitlement reuse
• Prepare for the VA appraisal process
• Structure competitive VA offers
• Communicate clearly with listing agents about VA financing
Many agents misunderstand VA loans. Tamara ensures your offer is positioned correctly so sellers feel confident accepting it.
