Charlottetown Military Relocation – Your Local Expert
Your home may be your largest personal investment. One of the most important decisions you will make when selling it is who will assist you. You should put the sale in the hands of an experienced agent who will produce results for you and provide a premier customer experience.
To help you sell your home quickly and for the best possible price, an agent must effectively manage the transaction from start to finish. This requires specialized knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the local market and amenities available
- Pricing your home correctly ( using latest price comparison numbers )
- Staging your home, inside and out, for maximum impact ( statistics show that staged homes sell faster and for more money )
- Marketing to attract buyers ( newspaper, Facebook, twitter, websites and open houses )
- Expert negotiating the offer to obtain the best price
- Assisting with home inspections, conditions and the details

Charlottetown Military Relocation – BRGS
Your Charlottetown Military Relocation Realtor is your Brookfield Relocation Specialist. Working at your side to ensure all paperwork, appointments and financial details are completed in their required time frames. Your Charlottetown Relocation Expert will ensure your posting experience is smooth and stress free.
Knowing what documents you need to get advances or pay claims is one of the most frustrating parts of your relocation. Making matters worse, if your documents aren’t
acceptable to BGRS, your advance or claim will be declined and unless you check your account regularly, you could go weeks before you find out. As part of the “self-serve” model, the CAF asked BGRS to implement, BGRS will not notify you if your advance or claim is declined. The best way to avoid this added stress is to ensure that your advances and claims are fully documented when you submit your request. For things like your HHT or TNL, it’s easy to know what to upload to support your claims – your receipts. But when it comes to buying or selling your home, it’s not that easy.
Generally speaking, advance requests don’t require a lot of documentation. Advances for home purchase and sales can be approved with just a copy of the Listing agreement, Appraisal, or Purchase or Sale Agreement. Being reimbursed for these claims, on the other hand, could require more specific documentation. The following is a list of documentation requirements for home purchases and sales, for both advances and claims:
