Why This Certification
Matters to Me
I pursued the MRP certification because I wanted to be able to truly help veterans understand the process — not just hand them a pamphlet and point them toward a lender. The men and women who serve this country deserve an agent who has done the work to understand their world.
The VA loan benefit is one of the most powerful tools available to veteran buyers. But it only works well when the agent guiding you actually understands how it works, what the timeline looks like, and how to avoid the mistakes that slow things down.
That's what the MRP certification gave me — and that's what I bring to every veteran client who walks through our door.
A lot of my veteran clients are buying their first home after transitioning out of service. That's a significant moment — sometimes the first time they've had the chance to put down real roots. I take that seriously.
Combined with my CRP® relocation certification, I'm able to handle the full picture: the VA financing side, the relocation logistics, and the local market knowledge to find the right home in the right neighborhood.
"I earned this certification as a thank you — to every veteran and retiring service member who chooses to call the Permian Basin home. We've got you."
Understanding Your
VA Home Loan Benefit
The VA home loan benefit is available to eligible veterans, active-duty service members, National Guard members, reservists, and qualifying surviving spouses. It's one of the few loan programs that allows eligible buyers to purchase with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).
In Texas, VA loans can be used to purchase primary residences — including single-family homes, qualifying condos, and new construction. The Permian Basin market has a strong inventory of eligible properties across a wide price range.
No down payment for eligible buyers · No PMI · Competitive interest rates · Limited closing costs · No prepayment penalty · Reusable benefit
One important development: the VA has temporarily lifted its previous restriction on veterans directly compensating their buyer's agent. This change ensures veterans maintain full access to professional representation when using their VA loan benefit — a significant win for veteran buyers in today's market.
Every veteran's situation is different. Entitlement, funding fee exemptions, and lender selection all affect the final numbers. Stacy works alongside VA-experienced lenders in the Midland and Odessa area to make sure you have the right team in your corner before you ever make an offer.

What Veterans
Ask Us Most
An MRP is a REALTOR® certified by the National Association of REALTORS® with specialized training in assisting veterans, active-duty military, and their families with real estate transactions. The certification covers VA loan processes, military relocation timelines, and the unique housing decisions facing those who have served.
Yes. Eligible veterans can use their VA loan benefit to purchase a primary residence in Midland, Odessa, or anywhere in the Permian Basin. VA loans offer no down payment for eligible buyers, no PMI, and competitive interest rates. Stacy can connect you with VA-experienced lenders in the local market.
Any licensed agent can help with a purchase, but an MRP-certified agent brings specific training on VA financing, relocation logistics, and the particular pressures veterans face during a move. That knowledge often saves time, reduces friction, and helps avoid costly missteps — especially on first-time purchases using VA financing.
Yes — this is a large part of her work with veteran clients. Many are purchasing their first home after transitioning out of service. Stacy holds both the MRP certification and over 20 years of experience guiding first-time buyers through every step of the process, from understanding their VA eligibility to closing day in Midland or Odessa.
Midland offers a strong employment market led by the energy industry, a lower cost of living than many major Texas metros, and a community with deep roots. Veterans relocating to the Permian Basin often find strong opportunities in energy operations, logistics, and skilled trades. Stacy can walk you through neighborhood options, school zoning resources through MISD, and what the local market looks like at your price point.
