Military and Veteran Relocation
A Military Relocation Professional for veterans and military families moving here.
A Move You've Earned
Many veterans choose The Villages for retirement, and many military families help a parent move here. If you're looking at veteran homes in The Villages, you deserve an agent who understands how military life shapes a move: the paperwork, the financing, and the fact that you may have moved more times than most people ever will.
Lili Whittington holds the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation, which focuses on serving service members, veterans and their families. She has more than 20 years in Florida real estate and more than 450 homes sold.
VA Financing, Without the Jargon
A VA loan is a mortgage backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans, service members and some surviving spouses. It can offer terms that are hard to get elsewhere, and eligibility and details depend on your service and situation.
- Get your eligibility confirmed early with a lender who works with VA loans regularly. We'll connect you with one.
- Plan for the VA appraisal and inspection requirements, which can affect timing.
- Remember the costs beyond the loan: the bond, the amenity fee, taxes and insurance all still apply here.
Florida also offers property tax benefits for some veterans. Ask your county property appraiser what you qualify for once you've closed.
Planning the Move
If you're selling a home elsewhere, Lili can time both sides so you move once. See selling there and buying here. If you're buying from a distance, virtual tours and digital signing let you narrow the list before you visit. And if you're helping a parent who served, we'll keep you in the loop from wherever you are.
