We spoke with the Army Corps of Engineers Real Estate Division on 11 March 2010 about COE dates for HAP transactions.  We confirmed the following with HQ in Washington DC office as well.  It was strongly suggested that we advise ALL buyers and sellers that the DoD has reaffirmed the commands of the Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, that the order of processing for HAP Beneficiaries is as follows: 

1.       Wounded Warriors

2.       Widows and/or Widowers of Fallen Warriors

3.       BRAC Bases (Does not apply to Luke AFB)

4.       PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Beneficiaries with RNL (Report No Later Than) dates of 2006

5.       PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Beneficiaries with RNL (Report No Later Than) dates of 2007

6.       PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Beneficiaries with RNL (Report No Later Than) dates of 2008

7.       PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Beneficiaries with RNL (Report No Later Than) dates of 2009

8.       PCS (Permanent Change of Station) Beneficiaries with RNL (Report No Later Than) dates of 2010

There are currently over 4,000 HAP Beneficiaries being processed at the Western Region of the DoD in Sacramento, by only small handful of  HAP processors.  We were told yesterday, 11 March 2010, that 2010 RNLs are likely to close in 120 to 180 days or longer and while every one of our HAP transactions will ABSOLUTLY close, the DoD made it perfectly clear that there will be no guarantees of any “processing time line” advanced by any of the three HAP Regional Offices, located in Sacrament California, Ft. Worth Texas and Savannah Georgia.
