Did you know?

  • Military relocation is referred to as a Permanent Change of Station.
Regular relocation is a part of military life. Generally referred to as a Permanent Change of Station or PCS, military relocation to a new Permanent Duty Station generally occurs about every three years, depending on a person’s Military Occupational Specialty. Many GMAC Real Estate Offices across the country have experience with Military Relocation, and stand ready to help you as you change assignments.

Whether your military relocation occurs stateside or to an overseas post, you should make your decisions early. Depending upon your Branch of Service and resources at your current duty station, you may be able to get special counseling on matters such as:

  • Should I live on base or off base?
  • Is buying or renting near post the best option?
  • Will I or my family be a good fit for the military housing community?
  • Does the civilian community welcome military families?
  • What about schools, church, a job for my spouse?
