A Plan Built Around Your Orders
The Mike Webb Team is Mike and Claudia Webb, with RE/MAX Allegiance, and we have more than 34 years in real estate. We have helped many VA buyers, military buyers and veterans, and we love working with them.
We set the timing from your report date backward. If you are still stationed elsewhere, we tour Alcova Heights homes for you on FaceTime, showing you the yard, the layout and the condition of the house. When you can visit, we show you the 13-acre park and the shops and restaurants along Columbia Pike.
You get a consultation, a search set up to your criteria, a home value report before every offer, negotiation, inspection help and support through the final walk-through and closing. Before we tour homes, you get pre-approved, and we sign a written buyer agreement together so you know exactly how we will work with you.
Heather “Mac” said: “My husband and I are so very happy we chose Mike and Claudia Webb to be our realtors!”
VA Loans on a House, Townhouse or Condo
VA home loans help Veterans, service members and their survivors buy, build, improve or refinance a home. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, nearly 90% of VA-backed loans are made with no down payment, and you will need a Certificate of Eligibility, or COE, which your lender can help with.
Alcova Heights offers more than one kind of home. Most of it is single-family houses, with a median build year of 1954 according to Arlington County's neighborhood plan, and the same plan names two townhouse communities, Dundree Knolls and Alcova Row, and a condominium building, Stratton House. Whichever you choose, ask your VA lender early what the loan will require of the home. If you are looking at a condo or townhouse, ask whether the community works with a VA loan.
We will connect you with lenders who do VA financing if you need one. They explain your options and what you qualify for. This page is general information, not lending advice.
