We just found out that we are PCS'ing to Ft Campbell KY. We decided to buy a home. Can anyone give suggestions on good real estate agents or good areas to live. Our children are not school age yet, but my son will be starting Kindergarten next year (2010 school year). Any input will be helpful.

What can I do next?

Oh wow! Hey there! I haven't been on in awhile. My neighbors are also going to Ft. Campbell and are buying a house also. We were stationed at Fort Knox but never Ft. Campbell. We will be headed to Ft. Hood in Killeen, Tx. in June. When are you all leaving?

I don't know anything about Ft. Campbell or the area but when you buy a house, eventhough your children are not school age and may never go there, make sure it is in a good school district for resale value. It makes a huge difference!

We own a home in Clarksville. Our current property manager is Veronica Finney with Vision Realty. I know that she'll work with you and your needs. If you tell her that T. Cain sent you there, I know that she will treat you well. I used to work with her when my husband was stationed there. We loved the area and would like to go back again someday. I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them for you.

We have a great friend living in Clarkesville and she loves it. They bought their house new just a few years ago and will be selling before they PCS this summer to Alaska. She could also put you on the trail of many more leads in the area. She and her family are fantastic and would always help anyone! I'd be happy to pass along her info privately. I notice from the profile that we are the same age and our husbands both work in the same place. Great place to be! Feel free to contact me...

If you use USAA, call ahead and try to get pre-approved for your loan. They will also put you in touch with a real estate agent who works with, and has a good reputation with previous USAA customers. If you don't use USAA for your banking, I am sure that your current banking facility might be able to reccommend a good company/agent for you to work with.
Either way, it is better to try to get pre-approval for a loan and know ahead of time how much you can afford to spend on a house, than to go in blind and wait to see what kind of loan you can get, after you have found the fabulous house you absolutely love and want, but just can't afford.
Oh and one more thing, try to check out the local school districts and see where the best locations and the best schools are for your Son. Schools are federally required to give out their test score results! You shouldn't have too much trouble finding something out on the web. He may not start school next year, but he will the year after!
Good luck with the house hunting.
