Military PCS - Relocating to Maine

Commonly referred to as a Permanent Change of Station or PCS, military relocation can be an exciting time for military service personnel and their families. Whether you are relocating to the Brunswick Naval Base or the South Portland District 1 Coast Guard Duty station, we aim to make your transition as smooth as possible. As a military spouse and having lived in several different areas, including Hawaii, Ohio, Cape Cod, Rhode Island and Maine, Chrystie has thorough experience in military relocation, and stands ready to help you as you change assignments.

The first thing you need to do is determine whether you want to live on base or off base. Doing some research on the base’s housing and the local real estate market can help you figure what which situation will be best for you.

Secondly, decide how much you can afford. Find out what your Maine BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) is using this BAH Calculator and determine whether financially you should rent or buy. If buying a home is within you budget, contact a Maine Military Relocation real estate agent to get things started. Your agent should help you start looking for homes that fit your needs as well as provide you with information about the local area.

Let our military relocation experience and vast local Maine real estate knowledge work for you, as you pack up and get ready for the move. Once you make the move, we can continue to help you with any questions or concerns you may have, because we are not only your real estate agents, we are your real friends too!
