Sergeant First Class Daniel Martinez and his family received PCS (Permanent Change of Station) orders with a 30-day report date. Their Holland, Michigan home was in excellent condition — they'd maintained it well over their 4-year assignment. A traditional listing timeline (18 average days on market + 30 days to close) would have left them scrambling.
Military PCS orders don't wait for real estate markets. Missing the report date wasn't an option. The VA loan payoff process adds complexity. The family needed an offer, a contract, title, and a close in under 30 days — and they'd need 10-14 days to pack and drive across the country.
7 Lakes Properties offered $267,000. We expedited every step: rush title order, VA payoff request filed same day as offer acceptance, mobile notary arranged for closing documents. We built the closing schedule backward from their departure date.
Closed in 12 days. VA loan paid off ($198,000). Martinez family received $67,400 in net proceeds — wired to their account the same day. They departed Holland on day 14 and arrived at their new duty station 3 days before their required reporting date.
"The military gives you no options on timing. 7 Lakes Properties gave us an option we didn't know we had. 12 days to freedom."— SFC Daniel Martinez, Holland MI
