On Mission Realtor · Military relocation

A clear plan for your move near Hanscom AFB.

A military move brings housing decisions and a reporting timeline together. John Helbert, REALTOR® with Prestige Homes Real Estate, LLC and an Army veteran with more than 30 years of service, helps buyers and sellers plan moves in the Massachusetts communities surrounding Hanscom.

Start with the communities around the base

Hanscom touches Bedford, Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington. Those are useful starting points for a location comparison; the right search area also depends on your budget, daily destinations, and preferred home features.

Bedford — explore Depot Park and the connected trail resources.
Concord — compare addresses using local walking and transportation resources.
Lincoln — explore conservation resources and property settings.
Lexington — consider the Minuteman Bikeway and your everyday routes.

Official Hanscom newcomer information

Build the housing plan around your orders

Clarify your dates. Identify your reporting date, the period available for a home search, and any gap between arrival and moving into a home.
Compare housing options. Contact the official housing office about base-related options and current procedures while considering an off-base purchase.
Define the search. Set a budget with your lender and list the features you need. Test the route to your assigned work location and confirm current gate access through official base resources.
Coordinate both ends of the move. If a sale elsewhere is part of the plan, share its expected timeline so the next purchase can be considered in context.

Considering a VA-financed purchase?

Tell John early so the home search and financing conversations can be coordinated. Your lender will confirm eligibility, terms, and property-related financing requirements. John can help you compare homes and organize the real estate steps around your timeline.

Selling before your next assignment

Start with your anticipated departure date, the home's condition, and any preparation work. John can help you discuss pricing, showing logistics, and the sequence of tasks for getting the property ready.
