We try to ensure they won't have to worry about their real estate investments. While they protect us, we will protect their interests. Military First, Homes Always!

Our Story

In November of 2013, a young, active duty Soldier expressed her desire for a property management company with a deep understanding of how the military works. She quickly inspired the creator of our first branch to piece together what has become Soldiers First Real Estate, LLC. Originally, the Firm focused on property management. As the number of support staff and agents grew, the Firm expanded to include sales, allowing the Firm to transition to a full service entity. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue to expand into the Tampa area. We are honored to manage more homes, and hire more military-centered agents, to ensure our core principles persevere.

Sellers

Deciding To Sell

You may feel like the decision to sell your home isn't up to you. A PCS move or change of a job often locks us into the selling mindset. Before you make an automatic decision, let's take a look at the factors you should consider. Why do I want to sell? Often times people confuse surface level reasons for base motives. A simple way to determine your true motivation is to ask yourself 3-Why's: "Why do I need to sell my home? Because I have to move out of town" "Why do I feel like moving out of town requires me to sell my home? Because I want to purchase a new home when I move." "Why must I sell my current home to purchase a new home? Because I can't afford the payments and maintenance on two houses." Once you've determined your true motives, it becomes a lot easier to explore the options available to you. We find that some of the more common overarching motives for selling are: Lifestyle Changes, New Opportunities, and Financial Reasons. Whatever your motives are, it helps to have them defined, as they will often influence how you make decisions on other important questions. When should I sell? Almost all real estate markets operate in cycles that can be either advantageous or disadvantageous to sellers. If your motives allow for a flexible timeline, you should definitely take advantage of these cycles. However, if your motives constrain your options, you should look for ways to mitigate these constraints.

Property Management

The choice to lease your property may be one of the smartest moves you ever make. More wealth is generated through real estate than any other means, but the path can be perilous if you aren't prepared for the possible challenges. Arm yourself with the necessary resources.
