01 // PCS PLANNING
PLAN THE MOVE
Start with the official tools that help organize orders, timelines, travel and the practical details of a permanent change of station.
OFFICIAL PCS PLANNING RESOURCES →MILITARY RELOCATION
ORDERS SET
THE DESTINATION.
HOME TAKES A PLAN.
A PCS changes more than an address. It can change where your family lives, works, learns, commutes and builds its next chapter. Sundance helps coordinate the real-estate side of the move—from buying and renting to selling, holding and property management.
MISSION 01 // SITUATION
THE ORDERS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.
WHERE WILL WE LIVE?
BUY OR RENT?
WHAT'S THE COMMUTE?
WHAT ABOUT SCHOOLS?
SPOUSE / PARTNER CAREER?
WHAT ABOUT THE PETS?
WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR CURRENT HOME?
HOW DOES THIS FIT THE REPORT DATE?
ONE ORDER. MANY DECISIONS.
THE ORDERS MAY HAVE ONE NAME.
THE MOVE BELONGS TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
A new assignment can affect more than where you live. It can reshape commutes, careers, schools, routines, pets, community and what happens to the home you're leaving behind. The relocation plan has to work for the household making the move.
MISSION 02 // THE PLAN
ONE MOVE. ONE HOUSEHOLD. ONE PLAN.
A successful relocation brings every part of your household together. We help you align the details so the move works in real life — not just on the orders.
HOME
Where are we going to live?
COMMUTE
How does the duty station shape where home should be?
CAREER
What does the move mean for a spouse or partner?
SCHOOLS & ROUTINE
What has to remain workable day to day?
PETS & HOUSEHOLD
What practical needs travel with the family?
CURRENT HOME
What happens to the property you're leaving behind?
THE RIGHT MOVE ISN'T JUST THE ONE THAT GETS YOU THERE. IT'S THE ONE THAT WORKS WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
MISSION 03 // EXECUTION
YOUR ORDERS SET THE TIMELINE. YOUR SITUATION SETS THE STRATEGY.
Buying isn't always the answer. Neither is renting, selling or holding. The right real-estate strategy depends on where you're going, how long you'll be there and what you're leaving behind.
REAL ESTATE
STRATEGY
What path supports your orders, your household and your long-term goals?
WHERE YOU'RE GOING
BUY
Does purchasing fit the assignment timeline and your longer-term plans?
RENT
Would flexibility give you time to learn the area before making a longer-term decision?
WHAT YOU'RE LEAVING
SELL
Does selling your current home simplify the move and support what comes next?
HOLD
Does keeping the property make sense as part of your longer-term strategy?
MANAGE
If you keep it, who takes care of the property while you're somewhere else?
THERE ISN'T ONE RIGHT PCS REAL-ESTATE DECISION. THERE IS A RIGHT DECISION FOR YOUR SITUATION.

MISSION 06 // THE TEAM
EXPERIENCE MATTERS. SO DOES UNDERSTANDING THE MISSION.
