Local Guidance From a Fellow Air Force Veteran

I'm Mike Faulkenberry, a Nevada County native and REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Grass Roots Realty. I served 15 years in the U.S. Air Force, and I understand how much planning goes into a military move.

I can help you work through the real estate side of your relocation: comparing properties, asking useful local questions and coordinating your purchase with the professionals involved. Tell me where you are in the process, and we can start there.

Compare Homes With Your Actual Commute in Mind

If you are considering Marysville, Yuba City, Plumas Lake or the Nevada County foothills, compare the exact address and route. Confirm which Beale AFB gate you expect to use and its current hours and access rules, then test the trip at your expected commute time. A town name or a general drive-time estimate is not enough to plan around.

Think about your housing budget, the amount of property maintenance you want and the services you need. Whether you prefer a move-in-ready home or a property you can update, we can use those priorities to focus your search.

Search Available Homes

A Practical Starting Point for Your PCS Move

Your orders, reporting date and housing plans shape the timeline. Use these steps to organize the home search, and coordinate questions about installation procedures with your military contacts.

Start with your timing and budget. Discuss financing and estimated housing costs with your lender before building a search around a payment.
Compare locations and routes. Check the gate you will use, your expected commute and the property details that matter for your routine.
Talk through the plan. Contact Mike for a free consultation about your home search, questions and move timeline.
Plan your tours. Discuss virtual or in-person options, then identify records, inspections and insurance questions for the homes you are considering.
Coordinate the purchase and move. Work through financing, inspections, insurance and escrow deadlines before arranging your final move and possession.

Put Mortgage Rates in Context

Published rate examples can help you prepare questions for a lender. They are illustrative, not a personal loan quote or a promise of the rate you will receive. Your loan terms depend on your situation, the property and the lender's requirements.

For a useful comparison, ask your lender about the rate, APR, points, fees and estimated payment for your specific loan.
