What is a VA Loan?
The VA loan is a government backed home loan available to eligible U.S. military service members, veterans, and surviving spouses. It was created to help make homeownership more accessible, affordable, and secure for those who have served our country.
With no down payment required and easier qualifying guidelines, a VA loan is often the most strategic option for eligible buyers.

You may be eligible for a VA loan if you are:
A veteran
An active-duty service member
A member of the National Guard or Reserves

We can also help you secure your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and determine your qualifying path.

What Our Clients Say
“Kristen is an absolute sweetheart, genuine, and KNOWS her stuff. I was proactively updated and well informed throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, providing me with resources for women veterans, arriving early to the photoshoot of the home to help me set up, and offering to assist with holding my young 5-month-old daughter while I signed closing documents. Kristen took such great care of me! Don’t look any further, no other agent will go above and beyond like Kristen. She really put her heart and soul into this, it isn’t just a transaction for her. I will NEVER forget her and I’m forever grateful for how well she took care of me during this enormous life change.”
— S.B., U.S Marine Veteran
“Insanely insightful and helpful through the whole home buying process.”
— A.S., U.S. Air Force Veteran
A Personal Note from Kristen
My brother, fallen soldier Captain Michael Jon Pelkey, gave everything in service to our country. I proudly wear my Gold Star in his memory. Serving veterans and their families is the greatest privilege of my career, and I promise to treat your journey with the same care and respect I would give him.
You deserve someone who sees the full picture and shows up with both experience and heart. That’s what we do at Glasheen Real Estate.
