PCS orders don't wait. Your savings shouldn't suffer. Here's how military families keep more when they move.
Military families move every 2–3 years on average. Each PCS typically involves selling a home in one state and buying in another — and each time, traditional agents take a percentage of the sale price.
Over a 20-year career with 5–7 PCS moves, a military family selling homes in the $400,000–$700,000 range can pay $75,000 to $125,000 in listing commissions alone — money that compounds against your wealth every time you move.
That's not a fee you agreed to. It's a toll you've been told is unavoidable. It isn't.
ShopProp charges a flat $4,495 for full-service seller representation — the same fee whether your home is $300,000 near Fort Cavazos or $1,200,000 near the Pentagon. A managing broker reviews every transaction.
| Home Price | Traditional 2.5% | ShopProp Flat Fee | You Keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $350,000 | $8,750 | $4,495 | $4,255 |
| $500,000 | $12,500 | $4,495 | $8,005 |
| $700,000 | $17,500 | $4,495 | $13,005 |
| $1,000,000 | $25,000 | $4,495 | $20,505 |
Over 5 PCS moves at a $500,000 average sale price, that's $40,025 kept instead of given away in commissions.
Most military buyers use VA loans — no down payment required, no PMI. When you add ShopProp's buyer rebate on top of that, you're getting cash back at closing on a home you bought with zero down.
Example: PCS from JBLM (WA) to Fort Huachuca (AZ)
Selling in WA: $550,000 home at $4,495 flat fee → save $9,255 vs 2.5% commission
Buying in AZ: $375,000 home with VA loan + ShopProp buyer rebate → cash back at closing
Total benefit: $10,000+ kept in your pocket across both transactions.
ShopProp holds active real estate licenses in 8 states — covering many of the most common PCS destinations:
Programs like USAA's real estate referral network, Veterans United Realty, and MilitaryByOwner's agent directory sound helpful — but they all funnel you to traditional percentage-based agents. Those agents still charge 2.5–3% to list your home.
Some even charge the agent a referral fee (20–35% of their commission), which can reduce the agent's motivation to negotiate hard on your behalf — because they're keeping less of their already-percentage-based fee.
ShopProp doesn't charge referral fees, doesn't take a percentage, and doesn't reduce service at lower price points. Every client gets the same managing broker oversight, the same marketing package, the same flat fee.
Most brokerages assign you a licensed agent — someone who passed a licensing exam. ShopProp puts a managing broker on every transaction: someone with a background in construction, finance, and over 4,000 closed transactions.
For military families who may be managing a sale remotely while in-processing at a new base or deployed, that level of oversight isn't a luxury — it's a necessity. Your managing broker catches what a regular agent might miss: inspection issues, appraisal gaps, contract errors, closing delays.
Same oversight whether it's a $300,000 starter home or a $1,200,000 property near the Pentagon. Same flat fee.
