We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jason Anderson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Jason, thanks for joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
VeteranPCS started with the mission: Military families helping military families move. I started VeteranPCS as a way to help military families easily find a real estate agent and mortgage lender they can trust when moving across the country. When I transitioned from the military and into real estate I realized that many websites out there cost thousands of dollars per month to be “featured” on. This can be really hard for a veteran or military spouse as they are starting a business. I designed VeteranPCS so that it has no monthly or yearly fees for agents, is free for clients to use, and then part of the profits from every sale go back to the military family after closing. We also donate an additional 10% to a military-focused charity to support our military community. Our Vision is: Move with a Mission. Our website is more than just a place to find an agent. You are also supporting veteran and military spouse businesses, and supporting military focused charities with your move.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
VeteranPCS has been focusing hard on creating a community with our brand. There are now 4 team members with VeteranPCS and all 4 are either veterans or military spouses that understand first hand what military families go through when they move. We focus on a personable and authentic connection and approach where you can talk to a real person, ask questions, and gain trust. Growing a referral-based business can be hard but rewarding, so having previous clients recommend VeteranPCS to friends and co-workers is one of our main focuses for healthy growth.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Our mission has continuously been to create a platform that serves military members and families, and also veteran and military spouse businesses. We have been pressured numerous times by people and bigger companies to change our model and start charging monthly fees or yearly fees and we have stayed true to our mission. VeteranPCS was built with purpose in mind, not just profits.
