I’m Andrew Alcaraz, Broker/Owner of Valor Real Estate in New Bern, NC, where I proudly serve buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Eastern North Carolina. My expertise spans residential sales, waterfront homes, golf course communities, investment properties, and relocation services, with a specialized focus on military relocation, PCS moves, and VA loan transactions.
My passion for helping people achieve their real estate goals began during my 10 years of honorable service in the United States Marine Corps. While serving on active duty, I experienced firsthand the challenges of moving—across the country and overseas—and I understand the stress and logistics that come with relocating, whether for a military PCS or a career change. That experience shaped the way I serve my clients today: with precision, dedication, and a commitment to making the process as smooth as possible.
Originally from San Diego, California, my wife Cassandra and I have lived in multiple states during my military career, but we ultimately fell in love with New Bern and the surrounding area. The charm of the historic downtown, access to coastal waterways, and the warm, welcoming community made it the perfect place to plant our roots. This personal connection drives my enthusiasm for helping others discover all that Eastern NC has to offer.
For my military clients, I bring a deep understanding of PCS timelines, remote home buying, and VA loan processes. I have assisted service members and veterans moving to and from MCAS Cherry Point, Camp Lejeune, and MCAS New River, helping them find homes that fit their needs, lifestyle, and budget—often on tight schedules.
For my civilian clients, I provide the same level of precision and care, whether you’re purchasing your first home, moving up, downsizing, selling to relocate, or investing. My background and local market knowledge allow me to advise on a variety of property types, from waterfront and golf course communities to rural properties and urban residences. I believe every client deserves a personalized plan, strong advocacy, and honest communication throughout the process.
At Valor Real Estate, my approach is built on three pillars:
Market Expertise – I stay ahead of trends, pricing strategies, and market shifts to give my clients a competitive edge.
Clear Communication – I keep my clients informed at every stage, so there are no surprises.
Client-Focused Service – I tailor my strategies to meet your specific needs and timeline, always with your goals at the forefront.
Outside of real estate, I’m active in the local community and continue to support veteran organizations, including events through American Legion Post 539. I also enjoy coaching youth basketball, spending time at the gym, golfing, and exploring the beaches and waterways of Eastern NC with Cassandra and our two dogs, Jax and Bella.
Whether you’re PCSing to New Bern, relocating for work, investing in property, or making a local move, I’m here to make the process seamless and stress-free. My goal is to not only help you buy or sell a home but to earn your trust as your lifelong real estate advisor.
If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s connect—I’d be honored to put my experience, local knowledge, and dedication to work for you.
