About Thomas

Thomas Schober is a U.S. Navy combat veteran and Irvine, California Realtor with eXp Realty. He helps veterans, active-duty service members, and military families buy and sell homes in Orange County, with guidance shaped around PCS timelines, VA-financed purchases, and each household’s next move.

Thomas brings seven years of real estate experience working with homebuyers, sellers, and builders. His background spans market research, negotiations, and the steps involved in taking a transaction from an initial search or listing through closing. He focuses on clear communication, responsiveness, and helping clients understand their options.

During six years in the Navy, Thomas served as an Engineman Third Class Petty Officer (EN3). That experience informs his approach to working with military and veteran clients, including families coordinating a home purchase or sale around a change of duty station.

Based around Irvine and Orange County, Thomas serves Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita, Trabuco Canyon, Tustin, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Foothill Ranch, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa. He also supports moves connected to Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, Camp Pendleton, Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, March Air Reserve Base, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado. Contact Thomas to confirm coverage for your specific property and reporting location.

Training Matters. Experience Matters More.

MRP Training + Real Military Experience

An MRP-certified agent has completed specialized military relocation training, including foundational education about VA financing. It is a valuable credential—but it is not the only measure of whether an agent understands your move.

Some PCS JOES Realtors are MRP certified. We do not require the designation because all PCS JOES Realtors are veterans or military spouses with firsthand experience navigating military life, PCS timelines, and the realities facing military families.

A certification provides foundational training. PCS JOES adds lived military experience, local real estate expertise, and veteran VA loan officers whose work is focused primarily on VA borrowers.

Why That Matters for Your PCS

Military relocation knowledge
Guidance shaped around orders, reporting dates, deployments, and remote home searches.
Veteran VA loan experts
Our veteran loan officers primarily process VA loans and understand VA eligibility, appraisals, property requirements, benefits, and closing from the inside out.
Firsthand understanding
An agent who understands military family priorities because they have lived the lifestyle.
Local market guidance
Help comparing neighborhoods, schools, commute times, and access to your installation.

Local experience: Our Camp Pendleton military Realtors help families compare communities and commute options around Camp Pendleton.

Local Housing Options

Communities to Compare Near Camp Pendleton

Begin with your actual reporting building and authorized gate. These communities are housing research options, not a promise of a short commute or confirmed agent coverage in every neighborhood. Compare the full drive at duty hours and confirm local representation before scheduling showings. Images are representative regional illustrations, not current listings.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Oceanside

Southern access planning

Oceanside, CA

For a southern Camp Pendleton assignment, compare the exact home-to-gate route and the remaining drive on base. Review neighborhood choices, property condition, and the total ownership budget alongside installation housing options.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Fallbrook

Eastern access planning

Fallbrook, CA

Confirm whether an eastern access route fits your reporting location and gate authorization. For rural or larger-lot properties, investigate utilities, septic systems where applicable, access, and maintenance responsibilities.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Bonsall

Inland housing comparison

Bonsall, CA

Test the complete trip to your authorized entrance and work building. Compare lot upkeep, utilities, insurance, and the condition of the home with your assignment length and household budget.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Vista

North County route comparison

Vista, CA

Use the exact address to evaluate travel to your gate and daily destinations. Compare home condition, property taxes, association costs where applicable, and maintenance rather than relying only on a listing payment.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Carlsbad

Coastal North County options

Carlsbad, CA

Compare the complete commute, coastal property maintenance, insurance, and association obligations. Check how the home fits your household’s priorities and expected time at Camp Pendleton.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching San Clemente

Northern access planning

San Clemente, CA

For assignments that make northern access practical, compare the specific home with your authorized gate and duty building. Review coastal or hillside property considerations and test the full drive at reporting hours.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching San Juan Capistrano

South Orange County comparison

San Juan Capistrano, CA

Evaluate whether the full trip through your authorized gate works for your duty schedule. Compare property condition, ownership costs, and household destinations before expanding the search farther north.

Representative regional housing illustration for researching Dana Point

Coastal south-county comparison

Dana Point, CA

Treat Dana Point as a separate housing and commute decision, not an automatic short drive to Camp Pendleton. Review the exact route, property condition, insurance, and association or coastal ownership obligations.

Questions Before Your Move

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every PCS JOES realtor goes through a strict vetting process before being accepted into our network. All agents are prior-service veterans or military spouses and must demonstrate proven experience working with military families, PCS timelines, and VA home loans. We also evaluate their local market expertise, communication standards, and track record of ethical, client-first service. This ensures every PCS JOES realtor understands military life and is equipped to guide you through a smooth, informed move.

No. PCS JOES does not sell advertising or charge agents to be listed on our platform. Our partner agents are carefully vetted veterans and military spouses selected for their experience, professionalism, and commitment to serving military families. When a military member chooses to work with one of our partners, PCS JOES may receive a referral fee after closing. A portion of that fee is reserved to support our PCS JOES military bonus, where permitted by state law, while the remainder allows us to provide our PCS concierge service at no cost to military members and their families.

Yes. As a result of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement reached on March 15, 2024, real estate agents who use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to share property information are required to enter into written agreements with buyers before touring a home in person or virtually. For detailed information, please visit the official NAR settlement fact page.

PCS JOES began as a military-focused blog and was converted into a national referral network in 2021 while we were stationed at Lackland AFB. For several years, we maintained a large internal spreadsheet of vetted partner agents, allowing us to personally connect service members with trusted military realtors nationwide. Since starting retirement SkillBridge leave in late 2025, we’ve been transitioning that system onto the website by building base-specific landing pages and publishing PCS JOES realtor profiles so military families can browse agents and connect directly online. New locations are added weekly. While automation is helping speed up this process, every PCS JOES customer is still personally tracked and supported throughout their real estate journey. If you don’t see a landing page for your area yet, simply submit an inquiry on our homepage and we will personally connect you with the appropriate PCS JOES partner agent. Our goal is to have the system fully online by the end of 2026.

Tax Returns: Your VA loan officer needs to get the full story of your financial situation to provide an accurate preapproval. Generally, they want to see 2 years worth of tax returns to ensure your annual income is consistent with your reported earnings through pay stubs. You will likely need to sign a Form 4506-T to allow your lender to request copies of your certified tax returns from the IRS
Pay Stubs, W-2s, or Other Proof of Income: Lenders will want to see your most recent pay stubs to get a clear idea of your overall financial health. If you're self-employed or have other income sources (such as VA disability pay or child support), you may need to show proof through 1099 forms, direct deposits, or other mean.
Bank Statements & Other Assets: These items help your lender appropriately asses your risk profile.
Credit History: Credit reports are often necessary to assess your risk level. Be prepared to write a statement that explains any negative items--one-time unavoidable circumstances may be viewed differently than habitual delinquencies.
Gift Letters: You will need to provide a written confirmation of any money gifted to you to help you buy your home. This letter should include their relationship to you as the amount received.
Photo ID: A copy of your ID will be required to prove you are who you're claiming to be.

As soon as you receive your assignment notification. Many military families contact us 6–9 months before their PCS, even before orders are in hand. This early timeframe is ideal because it allows our VA loan officers to identify and resolve potential issues well in advance. Think of our PCS JOES lender partners as your personal financial coach—no matter your situation, they can build an action plan to strengthen your credit profile and position you for the best possible rate by the time you complete your PCS. We also regularly help service members with last-minute PCS moves in the 30–60 day window. While most home purchases close in 30–45 days once under contract, we’ve successfully completed closings in as little as 26 days.
