Matt Elliott is a Marine Corps veteran and Veteran Mortgage Loan Originator with the Veteran Mortgage Team–your trusted VA Home Loan Expert serving veterans and military families nationwide through all PCS JOES CONUS Service Areas. Originally from Central Illinois, Matt grew up in a blue-collar community that takes great pride in military service — a value that continues to shape his work today.

After graduating high school just months before the events of 9/11, Matt felt an overwhelming sense of patriotism and a call to serve. Inspired by a close friend who deployed with the Navy Seabees, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2006 as an 0311 Rifleman. During his military career, Matt deployed to Iraq in 2009, where he was stationed at Combat Outpost Waleed on the Iraq–Syria border. His service in one of the most challenging environments of the conflict instilled a deep commitment to teamwork, discipline, and service to others.

Following his time in uniform, Matt transitioned to the mortgage industry, building his expertise from the ground up — first as a Home Loan Processor, then as a Loan Officer Assistant, and now as a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator. Drawing on his military values and years of mortgage experience, Matt takes pride in helping veterans and families secure the best home loan options available.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned homeowner, Matt’s mission is simple: to serve with integrity, educate his clients, and help them achieve their dream of homeownership.

Matt’s values align perfectly with PCS JOES, and he’s become an indispensable part of our team thanks to his exceptional client care and reliability. As a trusted VA Home Loan Expert, he’s available seven days a week to guide veterans and military families through every step of the VA mortgage process.

It’s never too early to reach out to Matt. Many of our clients begin working with him 6–12 months before their PCS to improve credit and prepare for VA loan prequalification. This early preparation often helps them qualify for better VA loan rates and ensures a smoother military home buying experience. Don’t wait until you have orders in hand–contact Matt as soon as you receive your assignment notification to start preparing for your next move with confidence.

I bought a home near Nellis AFB. I used Matt Elliott Mortgage Loan Originator, a Marine Veteran as my Lender, and Air force Veteran Jonny Cosca as my realtor. They made the process quick, simple. and easy. Jonny and Matt are an outstanding team and I highly recommend using them to help purchase a home near Nellis and Creech AFB!!

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.

PCS TO FORT KNOX GUIDE

PCS to Fort Knox

Our Fort Knox veteran realtors assist military families in communities commonly chosen for their proximity, schools, housing options, and lifestyle. The most popular communities near Fort Knox are:

Popular Communities Near Fort Knox

Radcliff – directly adjacent to Fort Knox and a popular choice for military families seeking a shorter commute
Vine Grove – a smaller community west of Radcliff with a quieter, more rural atmosphere
Elizabethtown – the area’s primary shopping, dining, employment, and entertainment hub
Brandenburg – northwest of Fort Knox in Meade County, offering a small-town setting and access to the Brandenburg Gate
Rineyville – a rural community southwest of Fort Knox with larger lots, newer neighborhoods, and additional space outside the city

Radcliff, Vine Grove, and Elizabethtown are the three largest incorporated communities in Hardin County, while smaller communities such as Rineyville and Cecilia offer more rural living within reach of Fort Knox.

School Districts Near Fort Knox

School options near Fort Knox vary based on whether you live on post or in one of the surrounding communities. School zoning is address-based, so the assigned school can change from one neighborhood—or even one street—to another.

Military families living on Fort Knox may be served by the installation’s Department of Defense Education Activity Fort Knox Schools, which include elementary, middle, and high school options. When researching schools, many military families use third-party tools like GreatSchools.org to compare options across different communities. For a military-specific approach, we also recommend our guide How to Find the Best Schools for Military Families, which walks through what to consider beyond test scores—especially during a PCS.

Families living off post are commonly served by:

Hardin County Schools – serves much of Radcliff, Vine Grove, Rineyville, and the surrounding portions of Hardin County
Elizabethtown Independent Schools – serves qualifying addresses within the Elizabethtown Independent school district
Meade County Schools – serves Brandenburg and surrounding areas in Meade County

Elizabethtown addresses can fall within either Elizabethtown Independent Schools or Hardin County Schools, making it especially important to verify the assigned district before choosing a home. Brandenburg-area families are generally served by Meade County Schools.

Fort Knox — Gates & Instructions

Your ideal community may depend partly on which Fort Knox gate you expect to use most frequently. Fort Knox currently operates three primary access points:

Chaffee Gate – the installation’s main gate, located off US-31W and Bullion Boulevard; normally open 24 hours a day
Wilson Gate – located near Radcliff and Wilson Road; generally operates during weekday morning and afternoon commuting hours
Brandenburg Gate – located along US-31W near Brandenburg Station Road and Muldraugh; generally open during weekday daytime hours

Visitors without a valid military or Department of Defense identification card may need to stop at the Fort Knox Visitor Center, located near Chaffee Gate, before entering the installation. Gate schedules, identification requirements, and access procedures can change due to holidays, training exercises, security conditions, or construction. Always review the official Fort Knox Gate Access page before traveling to the installation.
