How to Serve More Military & Veteran Buyers!

NOW OFFERED IN A HYBRID FORMAT — ATTEND IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY!

We're excited to bring back this popular training, now with more flexibility! Join us in person at our Carlsbad office or virtually via Zoom. Choose the option that works best for you while gaining valuable insights into helping military members and veterans achieve homeownership.

San Diego County has one of the largest active-duty and veteran populations in the country, yet many agents still misunderstand how VA financing works. This practical workshop breaks down the VA home loan from a real-world transaction perspective — covering veteran demographics, common myths, and the contract strategies that help agents confidently serve military buyers and get more VA offers accepted. 

Key Topics Covered:

  • Understanding the VA Buyer: Military demographics in San Diego and where the opportunities are for agents
  • VA Loan Fundamentals: Zero down, VA entitlement, funding fees, and how VA compares to conventional financing
  • Writing Strong VA Offers: Appraisals, tidewater, seller concessions, and negotiation strategies
  • Common VA Misconceptions: Minimum property requirements, VA Condos, timelines, and why VA deals don’t have to be harder
  • Transaction Tips for Agents: Working with PCS timelines, active-duty clients, and smooth escrow management
