Question 3

Can The Beal Group help with a PCS move to Joint Base San Antonio?

Accepted Answer

Yes — PCS moves to JBSA are one of the team's core specialties. Christopher Beal is MRP-certified and works with service members relocating to Lackland AFB, Fort Sam Houston, Randolph AFB, and Camp Bullis every week.

Question 4

What is the Serve & Save program and who qualifies?

Accepted Answer

The Serve & Save program is The Beal Group's exclusive closing cost credit for eligible veterans and active-duty military. Qualified buyers receive a credit equal to 1% of the gross buyer's agent commission for every year of verified active service, applied directly on the Closing Disclosure at settlement. Active-duty service members and honorably discharged veterans qualify with verification via DD-214 or current active duty orders. The credit is lender-approved and subject to VA concession limits when combined with other closing credits. The program is not combinable with other referral arrangements.

Question 5

Does The Beal Group work with non-military buyers and sellers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While the team's military expertise is a core strength, Veteran Real Estate San Antonio serves all buyers and sellers across San Antonio and the Hill Country. The team works extensively with first-time homebuyers using conventional and FHA loans, luxury buyers and sellers in communities like The Dominion, Alamo Heights, and Boerne, investors looking at rental and flip properties, and families relocating to San Antonio for civilian employment. The same market knowledge, negotiation discipline, and client-first approach applies to every transaction regardless of loan type or military status.
