Introduction to Soldier Next Door Program:





Highly Recommend!

Thank you so much for your help during our first home buying experience! As a military family that moves around frequently, we have not been able to even think about buying a home, until recently. The prospect of shopping for and buying a home always seemed so intimidating to us but Soldier Next Door quickly put our anxieties to rest. James and Marilyn and the rest of their team were incredibly professional, informative and easy to work with. They put us in contact with a fantastic real estate agent and walked us through every step. The closing cost assistance greatly alleviated our financial burdens and their knowledge of the VA process was invaluable.  We highly recommend this program and will tell our friends in the military about it.
