John Cassels
Shawn Viguerie and his team at 253 Realty are the best. We had another agent that was just not making it happen. We contacted Shawn and from the very first conversation we knew he would work for us to get our home sold. From virtual staging, open houses, marketing to communication his team was excellent. I highly recommend this company for any of your Realty needs.

Simplifying Your Lake Tapps PCS Home Sale
One of the biggest decisions during a military transfer is knowing when to list your home. Selling too early may complicate your plans, while waiting too long can reduce your options before your reporting date.
253 Realty helps you build a selling strategy around your relocation timeline. We’ll guide you through pricing, preparation, marketing, negotiations, and closing, so every step supports your move instead of adding unnecessary stress.
Local Real Estate Support for Military Relocations
Many Lake Tapps homeowners begin planning their move after receiving orders from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). A JBLM PCS often requires balancing family responsibilities, inspections, packing, and reporting dates all at once.
As your local military relocation Realtor, we understand both the Lake Tapps market and the pace of a Washington military relocation. We’ll coordinate showings, communicate with buyers, and work with title and escrow professionals, helping your sale progress even while you’re preparing for your next assignment.
Selling Quickly Without Sacrificing Value
Most military homeowners aren’t looking for the fastest sale at any cost. They want a sale that fits their schedule while protecting their home’s value.
We focus on accurate pricing, smart preparation, and targeted marketing instead of unnecessary renovations. Every recommendation is based on your home’s condition, your timeline, and current market demand, helping you complete your home sale before PCS with confidence.
Virtual Selling Solutions for Service Members
Many military families relocate before their home is sold, making communication more important than ever. Staying informed shouldn’t depend on being physically present.
253 Realty makes remote selling simple with virtual consultations, regular updates, digital document coordination, and support throughout the transaction. We keep you informed at every stage of the transaction, so you can focus on your active duty move instead of managing the sale.
Coordinating Every Step Around Your PCS Orders
A successful PCS move depends on good planning, and your home sale is a big part of that plan. Staying organized early can help reduce last-minute decisions and keep your relocation on schedule.
253 Realty helps coordinate every stage of the transaction, including pricing, showings, buyer communication, negotiations, and closing. We work with title and escrow professionals to help keep your sale moving while you focus on your upcoming Permanent Change of Station.
