Mark J asked:


I am moving to Fort Lewis very soon and would like to buy a house in the Tacoma, Spanaway, Puyallup area? We are planning on using a VA loan to purchase the house, so a military friendly realtor near fort lewis is what we REALLY need. Any past buyers with good experiences out there?

Just about any that work at John L. Scott, Windermere, Century 21 in that area should be well versed in the VA home buying process since it is so close to Fort Lewis. I’m more partial to John L. Scott, but then I work there ; )

You might browse their wesbites & look at agent profiles to see if any specialize in just that field.

We just bought a house in Spanaway, and we are stationed at fort lewis. Our realtor was a WONDERFEL woman named Patty Furst. Once we told her we wanted to buy a house in fort lewis area, thats exactly what she showed us. We tried John L Scott, but they tried to take us out of our price range and area. Also, she works VERY well with VA Loans and is VERY knowledgable. Her website is . Also, she will match +beat the USAA movers advantage program if you use her finance guys.

One piece of advice on the VA loan. It’s really only good for folks who WANT to put 0% down. Now, I can’t imagine that soemone would actually wish to do this in todays environment, however it is available for veterans.

The downside is the upfront funding fee. 2.15% for enlisted, active military personal. Ouch!

Now, you won’t have monthly MI, but that is a tough one to take upfront.

An FHA loan would qualify you just as easily and won’t pump you with that funding fee.
