Sellers really don't care what type of financing a buyer has. Usually it's the agents who are more concerned about the financing. Sellers just want to sell their home and get the best price they can.

Sellers are open to anything as long as it gets them the cold, hard cash they want at settlement and as long as it's "above board". It could be VA, FHA, conventional, interest only, an ARM, all cash...you get the point.

Most Definitely. It is a buyer's market here and sellers are willing to accept VA contracts as well as help with closing costs. This area has many incoming military stationed at Pentagon, Quantico and Belvoir. We also have many retired military working in government. FBI has a training facility at Quantico and is opening
a new facility in Manassas near George Mason Campus. Visit http://www.vahomebase.com to see listings.

FIRST ANSWER

Yes. There are several major military bases in Northern Virginia and sellers are often military themselves. Homes in the VA range for $0 down payment are numerous and VA buyers, up to $417,000 are quite welcomed. Sellers are also often willing to pay for all of the closing costs for buyer, which is permitted with VA financing. Ft. Myers, Quantico, Pentagon, Ft. Belvoir are just a few of the active military bases with VA buyers. The Navy, Homeland Security, CIA also have a significant number of VA qualified home buyers who use their VA benefits.
