As a REALTOR® with the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification, serving the real estate needs of those who serve our country is more than a professional specialty—it’s a personal commitment. Although Veterans Day has passed, the gratitude and respect I have for our military community extends far beyond one day on the calendar.
North Carolina is home to one of the largest veteran and active-duty populations in the nation, shaping every corner of our state with their leadership, service, and resilience. A recent report from Business North Carolina highlighted just how significant this community is:
- 618,846 military veterans call North Carolina home—approximately 8% of our state’s population, placing us eighth nationally.
- 12% of North Carolina’s military veterans are women, a powerful and growing demographic whose contributions deserve expanded visibility and support. This compares with women making up 17.7% of active-duty military personnel nationwide.
- Our state is also home to more than 91,000 active-duty service members, ranking fourth in the U.S. for active-duty military population.
These numbers reflect more than statistics—they represent families relocating between duty stations, veterans transitioning to civilian life, and military spouses navigating frequent moves with strength and adaptability. Each deserves a real estate professional who understands the complexities of military life, VA loan processes, timelines, and the resources available to them.
My commitment as an MRP-certified REALTOR® is to help streamline that process with compassion, expertise, and advocacy. Whether it’s coordinating a cross-country PCS move, navigating a competitive market on a tight timeline, or helping a veteran achieve their dream of homeownership using hard-earned benefits, serving military families is an honor I’m grateful for year-round.
To every veteran, active-duty service member, reservist, and military family in North Carolina and beyond: thank you. Your service shapes our communities, strengthens our state, and inspires my work every day.
