Reaches both posts

Richmond Hill sits between Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, so it works whether your unit is on Stewart or at Hunter. That dual reach is a big reason dual-base and dual-career families pick it.

Schools families ask for

Bryan County schools are consistently among the most-requested in the area. If school zoning is high on your list, Richmond Hill is usually at the top of the short list near both posts.

New construction & Waterways

Newer master-planned neighborhoods, including Waterways, bring modern floor plans, amenities, and builder incentives. I help you weigh a new build against a resale so the model home does not make the decision for you.

Resale strength

Richmond Hill holds value well, which matters when your next set of orders could come in two or three years. Buying with resale in mind protects your equity for the next PCS.

In Alex's words

“One of my toughest Richmond Hill deals was a veteran homeowner staring down foreclosure on a distressed property with a VA buyer on the other side. We built the repairs into the deal, got the VA appraisal to pass, and closed in time to stop the foreclosure. Complex military deals are where I do my best work.”
