Selling a House on PCS Orders in Florida | Cash in 24hrs | Homeinc

Selling Your House Fast on PCS Orders in Florida

When the Department of Defense moves you, it doesn’t wait for your house to sell. Most PCS orders give you 30 to 90 days to report — and that’s not enough time to repair, list, show, negotiate, and close a traditional sale. Homeinc gives Florida military families an as-is cash offer in 24 hours, closes in 7 days, and lets you sign remotely so the move stays on track.

Why PCS Timelines Break Traditional Florida Home Sales

Service members on PCS orders face a brutal timeline: 30 to 90 days from receiving orders to reporting at the next duty station. A traditional Florida home sale takes 60-90 days from listing to closing for cooperative buyers — and that’s before accounting for repairs, inspections, financing contingencies, and the time it takes to prep a house for market. Here’s what goes wrong:

• Already deployed or already gone. Many service members can’t be present to manage showings, repairs, or inspector visits — they’re already at the next post.
• Buyer financing falls through. When a deal collapses 60 days in, you’re out of time. PCS doesn’t wait.
• Repair demands. Buyer’s inspector finds $10K of issues. You’re 1,500 miles away and have no time to coordinate contractors.
• Showings managed by deployed family. Spouse handling everything while solo-parenting and packing for a cross-country move.
• BAH cliff. Once you report, BAH at the old duty station ends. Carrying the old mortgage from new BAH eats into the move.
• VLB/VA financing complications. Some buyers using VA loans on the old property complicate things further.

How Homeinc Solves a PCS Sale

Homeinc has bought houses from Florida military families since 2013. We’ve handled PCS sales out of Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Naval Air Station Pensacola, MacDill AFB, Tyndall AFB, Patrick Space Force Base, Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and the other major Florida bases. Here’s what we do differently:

• 24-hour cash offer. Submit address, basic info. Get a written offer the next day.
• 7-day close. Aligns with PCS timelines. Most families close before they report.
• Remote signing. If you’re already at the next duty station, we sign via mail-out or remote online notary (Florida and Georgia both allow it).
• As-is purchase. No inspector. No repair list. No contractor calls from across the country.
• No showings. One walk-through. We see the house once. Done.
• Spouse-friendly process. If you’re deployed, your spouse can handle the whole transaction with our team.
• Power of Attorney friendly. If a POA was executed before deployment, we accept it for closing.

Common PCS Sale Questions in Florida

Can I close after I’ve already reported to the new duty station?

Yes. Florida allows remote online notarization (RON) for real estate closings. You sign from anywhere with internet — even overseas if the connection allows.

What if my spouse is staying behind for the kids’ school year?

That works too. Many of our PCS sales close after the service member has reported but before the rest of the family moves. We can time the closing around your move-out date.

Will you buy a house we still owe money on?

Yes. We pay off the mortgage at closing. As long as the sale price covers the payoff plus closing costs, you walk away with cash. If the payoff is higher than the offer, we explore short-sale options.

Do you offer any discount or premium for military families?

Our offers are based on the property — same fair cash methodology for everyone. But we waive every fee, pay all closing costs, and provide a process specifically designed for the PCS timeline. That’s where the real value is for military families: speed and certainty.

What about VA loan complications?

If you’re selling a VA-financed home, your VA entitlement is restored after closing (so it’s available for your next duty station home purchase). We pay off the existing VA loan at closing like any other mortgage.

Can I sell while deployed?

Yes. We work with your stateside spouse or your designated Power of Attorney. We’ve closed deals while service members were deployed to multiple combatant commands.
