One of the biggest perks of serving in the military is the VA Home Loan Program. Unlike conventional loans, VA loans require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI)—making homeownership more accessible. Plus, there are limits on closing costs, and the VA even steps in to help if you ever face financial hardship.
I’ve seen firsthand how these benefits change lives. One client of mine, an Air Force veteran, was hesitant about buying her first home. When she learned he could qualify without needing thousands in upfront costs, her confidence skyrocketed. Within weeks, we found her a beautiful home that fit her budget and needs.
Am I Eligible for a VA Loan?
Many veterans don’t realize they qualify for a VA loan. If you’ve served on active duty, in the National Guard or Reserves, or are a surviving spouse, you may be eligible. You’ll also need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE)—but don’t worry, I help my clients obtain theirs quickly through the VA’s eBenefits portal or a trusted lender.
Exclusive Texas Benefits for Veterans
Living in Texas comes with even more perks for veteran. From property tax exemptions for disabled vets to home improvement loans through the Veterans Land Board (VLB), our state goes the extra mile to support residents who’ve served. I always make sure my veteran clients know about these programs—because saving money on taxes and home upgrades means more financial freedom in the long run.
One of my clients, a retired Navy vet, used a VLB land loan to purchase acreage outside of Austin, creating the perfect retreat for his family. The process was smoother than he expected, and seeing him settle into his dream home made my job even more rewarding.

The VA loan process may seem complex, but with the right guidance, it’s a straightforward journey:
Get pre-approved – I connect veterans with VA-approved lenders who specialize in these loans.
Secure your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) – Proof of eligibility is key, and I help streamline the process.
