Northern Virginia – DMV

Quantico, Fort Belvoir & the National Capital Region

About Northern Virginia (Quantico & Fort Belvoir)

Welcome to Northern Virginia — the heart of the National Capital Region and home to two of the most important installations in the DMV. Just south along I-95, Marine Corps Base Quantico is known as the "Crossroads of the Marine Corps," home to Officer Candidates School, The Basic School, Marine Corps University, and the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Closer to Washington, Fort Belvoir is one of the Army's largest and most diverse installations, hosting dozens of mission partners across intelligence, medical, and defense agencies.

Together, these bases anchor a region where military service, history, and opportunity meet. From the Potomac River and the rolling Virginia countryside to easy access to Washington, D.C., Alexandria, and Fairfax County, Northern Virginia offers military families top-rated schools, a strong job market, and a quality of life that's hard to beat.

Whether you're receiving orders to Quantico or Fort Belvoir, transitioning out, or planning your next move, the DMV offers the community, careers, and connections to make your next chapter a success.

Marc McNeill – Real Estate Broker | Mortgage Banker | VA & PCS Home Strategy Concierge

Capital Market Realty | Clear Capital Lending

Some professionals help people buy houses. Marc McNeill helps families make better long-term decisions. Since earning his real estate license in 2014 and founding both Capital Market Realty and Clear Capital Lending in 2018, Marc has built his career around one philosophy: major real estate decisions deserve strategic guidance, not sales pressure.

As both a Real Estate Broker and Mortgage Banker, Marc brings a perspective few professionals can offer. Rather than viewing financing, property selection, equity, and long-term wealth planning as separate conversations, he helps clients understand how all of those pieces work together — answering the questions that matter most: Where does this home fit into your five- or ten-year plan? Could this property eventually become an investment? How does your VA entitlement fit into future opportunities?

A North County San Diego native, Marc grew up in Carlsbad and Oceanside surrounded by families connected to Camp Pendleton and Southern California's military community. He works extensively with active-duty military families, senior enlisted leaders, officers, veterans, veteran entrepreneurs, dual-income professional households, and first-time buyers seeking long-term strategy. He understands that a PCS move is rarely just about finding a home — it's about protecting family time, minimizing stress, preserving future options, and creating a foundation that supports the next chapter.

Clients describe Marc's process as consultative rather than transactional. He helps families slow down, understand the numbers, organize the moving pieces, and create a strategy that aligns with their goals. His specialties include VA Home Loans, PCS Relocations, First-Time Homebuyers, Wealth-Building Through Real Estate, Investment Property Strategy, and Credit Readiness & Mortgage Planning. His mission is simple: to provide trusted guidance, thoughtful strategy, and a clear path forward — so families can build not only homes, but stronger futures.
