The Certified Military Specialists provide exceptional real estate experiences to veterans and military members through the U.S. Military on the Move® program.

“I know that when I got out of the military, it was difficult to find someone who could relate to my needs,” stated Greg Pressley, Realtor®. “The Marine Corps instilled ethics and values in me which are key ingredients in gaining someone’s trust and helping them make the transition from military to civilian life.”

Pressley is a disabled veteran who served as a Reconnaissance Ranger in the U.S. Marine Corps.
