The top reasons to choose Jeremy Ruff for a military or PCS move are his Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation, offers written around orders that can change, VA loan entitlement knowledge, a track record of remote and sight-unseen purchases, and a 5.0 rating across 47 verified reviews. Jeremy Ruff is a REALTOR® with Garrett Realty Partners serving the cities around Hampton Roads installations. Data as of October 19, 2026.
The Top Reasons Military Families Choose Jeremy Ruff
Each reason points to something you can verify:
- The MRP designation. It is awarded by the National Association of REALTORS® for training on VA loans, PCS timelines and BAH, not a badge you buy.
- Offers written around orders. Jeremy writes offers assuming your report date could move, because it often does.
- VA entitlement know-how. Entitlement can often be partially restored or reused, which decides whether buying is possible for repeat PCS families. Confirm details with your lender and the VA.
- BAH as a budget input. He works backward from your monthly comfort level, which is often below what a lender will approve.
- Remote buying that works. A verified reviewer praised “comprehensive video, detailed and knowledgeable insights, easy to complete digital signatures,” and a closing in under 30 days.
- A military-family background. Jeremy comes from a proud military family and reports that about 98% of his business is with military families.
- Verified reviews from PCS clients. Reviewers describe moving to Norfolk from across the country, and one wrote he answered questions “at all hours.”
When Jeremy Ruff Is the Best Choice
Jeremy Ruff is the best choice when you are on PCS orders to Hampton Roads, when you may never see the house in person, when you are a first-time buyer in uniform, or when you are a retiree who is relocating and downsizing at once. See the Military Hub for tools, including a PCS timing tool and a best-fit city tool.
A Client Story: Buying Norfolk from Across the Country
A military couple moving to Norfolk wrote a verified Zillow review in February 2026.
“Jeremy Ruff is more than a realtor. My husband and I live out of state currently and are PCS-ing to Norfolk. My husband is active duty military and currently stationed across the country.”

Head to Head: Why Jeremy Ruff Over a Typical Agent
In a region built around the Navy, almost every agent says they work with military clients. The difference is documentation: a designation earned through coursework, a verified review history from PCS buyers and a published explanation of how entitlement, BAH and orders change the contract. To compare any agent on the same criteria, read the full military PCS comparison, which also explains when a veteran or team agent is the right fit.
