A Veteran’s Guide to Homeownership: Empowering Your Journey with Luxe

Your next chapter should be written with intention, not confusion. That’s why Luxe leads with education and care.

At Luxe International Homes, we honor those who serve—and that means more than just a thank you. It means ensuring every veteran and active-duty servicemember has access to trusted guidance, professional representation, and the home buying support they deserve. Here's everything you need to know as a veteran stepping into your next chapter.

🎖️ You’ve Earned It: Let’s Use Your VA Home Loan Benefit

As of August 10, 2024, the Department of Veteran Affairs now allows buyers using VA loans to pay for real estate representation. That means you can work with a dedicated Luxe agent—without restriction—to protect your best interest. This was a major win for our heroes, thanks to strong advocacy from organizations like the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

At Luxe, we take pride in being more than agents—we’re educators and advocates for every veteran who entrusts us with their journey.

📝 Why Written Buyer Agreements Matter

You’ll be asked to sign a written buyer agreement—this outlines what your Luxe agent will provide and how they’ll be compensated. These agreements are 100% negotiable and are designed to keep you in control. Don’t sign anything you don’t understand—we’re here to walk you through it all with patience and clarity.

💼 How Your Agent Gets Paid

Your Luxe agent will break down all options outlined in your buyer agreement. Here are a few ways buyer agents may be compensated:

• The seller (or their broker) pays the agent.

• You can request that the seller covers agent fees in your offer.

• You can pay directly.

Whatever the method, Luxe makes sure it’s transparent and in your best interest.

📊 NAR’s Continued Fight for Veteran Homebuyers

The journey to homeownership should never be harder for those who’ve served. That’s why NAR continues to fight for:

• Flexible VA loan options

• Smoother appraisal processes

• Loan assumption for buyers at favorable rates

• Access to benefits for veteran descendants

At Luxe, we work closely with these updated policies to make sure our veterans don’t miss out.

💡 Why Choose a REALTOR® Who Specializes in Military Relocation?

Working with a certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP) gives you the advantage of working with someone trained in the unique needs of military families. Many Luxe agents are certified or have deep experience supporting veterans and active-duty clients.

With Luxe, your mission is our mission—homeownership with honor, support, and dignity.
