Hi, I'm Meagan. As a licensed real estate agent in Virginia, I've been at the heart of nearly 100 VA loan transactions since 2020, guiding families towards homeownership and refinancing needs. But what truly defines my journey? Being a proud military spouse of an active US Navy sailor. I'm here to serve those who serve.
In 2019, my husband and I faced the challenge of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Though times were tough, we held onto hope, knowing our VA home loan benefit awaited once our credit rebounded. By December 2021, that hope became a reality as we proudly became homeowners using my husband's VA home loan benefit.
I share our journey with you because I truly understand the challenges of achieving homeownership, especially when the path forward isn't clear.
My husband and I call Washington State home for now, sharing it with our three delightful kids: Lily, Reagan, and Everett. Our household is a lively one with our four cats - Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred - and our cheerful yellow Lab, Mac (yes, that's short for Macaroni with the Chicken Strips).
In my off time, I enjoy books, my Peloton, and coffee!
But how do I become a homeowner?
Great question! The journey begins with obtaining a mortgage approval. This crucial step helps you decipher your budget, letting you gauge the purchase price range that feels right for you in the world of homeownership.
Less than 50% of military families own a home.
What if I'm not ready to buy a home?
Life has its twists and turns, and there might be moments when you feel unprepared to jump into homeownership – be it due to personal choices or other life events. And that's perfectly okay. Whenever you're ready, I'll be here to guide you through every step towards your dream home.
Quick Facts About the VA Loan

The VA loan doesn't have a down payment requirement for the loan type. This is not to be confused with closing costs.
The VA loan is a reusable benefit. Meaning if you PCS, you can explore using your VA loan again at your next station.
