Military realtor FAQ
How do I find a military-friendly realtor on Oahu?
Look for an agent who works PCS timelines every month, understands BAH by rank and dependent status, has closed VA loan purchases in Honolulu County, and can run detailed video tours for sight-unseen buyers. Jordan Toohey of The Toohey Group at Compass (HI RE License #RS-84017) works with service members PCSing to JBPHH, MCBH Kaneohe Bay, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, and Camp Smith. Call or text (808) 773-3875.
Does a military buyer pay the realtor on Oahu?
Compensation is negotiable and disclosed in writing before you tour. Buyer-agent fees are commonly covered in whole or in part by the seller or listing brokerage, and any remaining amount is agreed with you up front. Nothing about representation is charged to your BAH or PCS entitlements.
Can a realtor help me if I'm still CONUS and have not received orders?
Yes, and that is the best time to start. Ninety to 180 days out you can compare neighborhoods by duty station and commute, model rent versus buy, get VA pre-approval, and set up alerts so you are ready to write an offer the week orders drop.
Do you help with rentals as well as purchases?
Yes. Many families rent for a first tour and buy on the second. We help with off-base rental searches, landlord paperwork with orders and LES, TLA planning, and the switch to buying when the math works on a 3+ year tour.
What areas of Oahu do you serve?
All of Oahu — Kailua, Kaneohe, Mililani, Wahiawa, Waipahu, Aiea, Pearl City, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Ko Olina, Hawaii Kai, and Downtown/Kakaako — with a focus on commute-friendly neighborhoods for each duty station.
