Welcome to the Liz Moore Insider!

FortEustis.GoArmyHomes.com Website Launched February 1st

First in the real estate industry fully dedicated to supporting Army personnel and their families during stressful long distance moves, GoArmyHomes has launched another website designed exclusively to assist service men and women undertaking a PCS relocation, this time for Fort Eustis. (forteustis.goarmyhomes.com). GoArmyHomes has selected the Military Team at Liz Moore & Associates to be their exclusive local real estate support group.

The newest addition to GoArmyHomes base specific sites, the PCS Relocation Site for Fort Eustis includes detailed information on homes available for sale or rent, neighborhood and area schools, and financing options. Featuring an outstanding relocation section, it also offers tools such as the Personal Property Organizer to save home searches, as well as the Home Readiness Program and the Relocation Coach Program, both of which were created to save critical time, money and effort.

For most Army families, no matter how experienced at moving, the thought of a PCS to a new post like Fort Eustis can be stressful, despite the many opportunities the Fort Eustis, VA area has to offer. Having the tools and resources gathered in a single location at FortEustis.GoArmyHomes.com makes the process far more efficient when finding a home or neighborhood that really fits the military family’s special requirements.

GoArmyHome’s mission is to provide assurance to every Army service member and their families that their particular needs as active military personnel are understood and will be fully addressed. These base specific sites are created under the guidance of men and women who have completed many military PCS moves, who have the knowledge and experience as to the support required to make a relocation go smoothly.
