Coordinate your next PCS
A permanent change of station moves your whole life on a fixed report date. Plan it once here — a timeline from orders to move-in, a checklist that saves your progress, service verification, and homes near your next installation.

Your PCS timeline
A realistic sequence from roughly 90 days out to move-in day. Windows compress on short-notice moves — start earlier when you can.
Receive your orders
Confirm your report date, authorized travel, and whether you're cleared for on- or off-post housing at the gaining installation.
Set your budget with BAH context
Look up your grade and dependent status for the new ZIP, then use that illustrative BAH as a target for rent or a mortgage payment — not a spending requirement.
Search housing near the gate
Filter listings by distance to the gate, bedrooms, and pet policy — and, if you're buying, by assumable VA, FHA, or USDA loans.
Verify your service
Confirm your status with CAC, DD-214, or ID.me so hosts and lenders can trust the connection before you reach out.
Apply once
Submit one standardized application across the homes you like instead of repeating paperwork for every landlord.
Sign the lease with a military clause
Sign digitally and, where the landlord offers one, add a military clause for SCRA-aligned early termination on future PCS or deployment orders.
Schedule the move
Lock your household-goods pickup and delivery windows around your travel dates, temporary lodging, and report date.
Get the keys
Walk the home, document its condition with photos, set up utilities, and update your address in DEERS.
BAH ranges and any payment targets referenced here are illustrative context for planning only — they are not a quote, an offer to lend, or a guarantee. Confirm current BAH rates and loan terms with official sources and a licensed professional.
PCS checklist
Fifteen tasks across the three phases of a move. Your progress saves in this browser, so you can check items off as you go.
Before you go
Housing
At your new base
Verify your service
Verifying your service is what separates the network from open classifieds and social-media groups. When hosts, lenders, and fellow families know a connection is genuine, messages get answered, applications move faster, and everyone transacts with more confidence.
CAC
The Common Access Card lets active-duty, Guard, Reserve, and DoD civilians confirm status through a card challenge — usually the fastest path to a verified badge.
DD-214
Your Certificate of Release or Discharge lets veterans confirm prior service. We check that your status is genuine — not the private contents of the document.
ID.me
The same digital identity service used across many VA and government portals. Verify once through ID.me and carry the result across the marketplace.
Choose how to verify
Pick CAC, DD-214, or ID.me — whichever matches your status.
Confirm your status
Verification checks that you're part of the military community. It does not read your records or store documents.
Get a verified badge
A verified badge appears on your profile so hosts and lenders know the connection is real.

Coordinate move-out and hand off your current home
A PCS is two moves at once. While you line up housing at the next base, keep your current home working for you — list it for rent in minutes, or hand the keys to our in-house property management team and never miss a beat during out-processing.
- List for rent in minutes, with distance-to-gate and BAH context built in.
- Let in-house management handle leasing, maintenance, and rent collection nationwide.
- Add a military clause and reach verified military tenants.
- Track everything remotely — even from a new time zone or OCONUS.
