Military Real Estate with Grant Vermeer
Many military families are not prepared to have a great home buying experience. This channel will provide easy to understand lessons into military related real estate topics. I am not trying to teach you how to build a multi-million dollar real estate empire - I just want to make sure you are educated, empowered, and saving money when you decide you want to buy your home.

The Vermeer Group matches military families with real estate teams that we personally trust across the nation.
As a military spouse, I've learned something crucial about building a sustainable business: geography can't be my limitation. Instead of trying to be the realtor in every new market, I became the guide who connects military families with the best local experts wherever they're headed.
Please reach out if you have any questions at all or I can help connect you to trusted real estate professionals nationwide. I get calls, texts and emails everyday from families just like yours, looking for help on making their move and buying/selling their home - and I absolutely love it!
