Real Estate Discounts - If you've been reassigned anywhere in North Carolina, or if you're a veteran or retired military and moving to North Carolina, check out these different sites that offer military discounts on relocation, rentals, or real estate.
Military.com - Can search by state using the key words "relocation", "real estate", or "homes" to find various North Carolina or national companies offering incentives. Free sign up to see full details of discounts. Check with each company - some promotions are for active duty only, some are for veterans, some include retired military and National Guard or Reserves.
ArmyTimes.com - A bit tougher to search on this site. But you can also search the Army Times classified section for homes for rent or for sale. May not be discounted, but could be some information on NC real estate.
MilitaryCoupons.com - Not much that I could find for real estate, but they do have a banking and loans category.
MilitaryNow.com - There's a lot of information here on housing discounts. Searches are fairly easy, with subcategories like Housing and Relocation, Homes, Moving, and Storage.
MilitaryAvenue.com - Military Avenue offers discount information sorted by Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard base. So find the base that's closest to your destination in NC, and use that to search for local discounts. MilitaryAvenue.com has a pretty comprehensive list, including apartments and rentals, real estate, and relocation.
There's even a large list of Fayetteville area real estate agents. It may take a minute or two to find the incentive for each - click through for more information, then click on the "military reward" link.
Stanton Homes offers a 3% discount on any new home, for active duty and retired military and veterans. This applies to any home. Can be combined with other military discounts offered in partnership with the Stanton Homes for Heroes program, including discounts from Sears, Timberlake Cabinetry, The Home Center flooring, real estate agents, and more.
There are also some special programs available for veterans and disabled soldiers and their families. Here are a few of the housing programs available in North Carolina:
Homes for our Troops - Builds specially-adapted homes for severely disabled soldiers and their families. Homes have been completed in Lumberton, New Bern, Roxboro, and Fayetteville. A home is under construction in Waxhaw, NC. Donations of labor and materials are accepted.
Fisher House - These homes are built on the grounds of a base or VA hospital. There is no charge for families to stay in a Fisher House while an Armed Services member is given treatment, which can involve travel for specialized services. There is a home at Womack Army Medical Center, Ft. Bragg, with another in planning stages. Monetary donations are accepted, and volunteers are welcome.
Please check with the individual companies offering discounts to find their terms and requirements. Some offer only to active military, others may exclude National Guard and Reserves.
Real estate agents - if you offer a discount to military personnel, I'd suggest submitting it to these sites. They are go-to places for anyone in the military looking for a way to stretch their paycheck a little further.
