Marine. Husband. North County Realtor.
Ten years in the Marine Corps taught me what showing up actually means. Now I bring that same standard to every family I help buy or sell a home in Oceanside and North County San Diego.
People over properties. Every time.
The mission.
The mission is simple. Take care of the family in front of me like they’re the only client I have. I answer the phone. I show up early. I tell you what I’d do if it were my wife, my brother, my parents. When the deal gets hard, I get more committed, not less. That’s the standard I learned in the Marines, and it’s the one I refuse to lower now that I wear a suit instead of cammies.
The background.
I served in the United States Marine Corps from 2013 to 2023. A full decade. I’ve PCS’d. I’ve bought and sold a home on a VA loan. I know the BAH math, the timeline pressure, the orders that drop on a Tuesday and flip your life by Friday. Husband first. Marine for life. Realtor by calling, because nobody should walk into the biggest purchase of their life without somebody in their corner who’s actually been there.
The niche.
I specialize in VA loans, PCS moves, and military relocation across Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and the rest of North County San Diego. Active duty, veterans, military families, and anyone who wants a Realtor who will treat them the same way. If you’re getting orders to Camp Pendleton or leaving it, I’m your guy. If you’re a civilian who just wants somebody who’ll give it to you straight, same answer.
“Helped me very much with my home buying journey. I would recommend to anyone, especially military.”

Working With a Military and VA Realtor in North County San Diego: Frequently Asked Questions
I am Jose Luis Tepox Jr., a Military and VA Realtor serving Oceanside and North County San Diego. I am a Marine Corps veteran, and I help military and veteran families buy, sell, and relocate, including out-of-state PCS moves and VA loan purchases. Hablo Espanol.
Why work with a veteran Realtor?
I have lived the move you are about to make. I served in the Marine Corps from 2013 to 2023, I have PCS’d, and I have bought and sold a home on a VA loan. I know the BAH math, the timeline pressure, and how orders can flip your life overnight, so I represent you with that context built in.
Who do you work with?
Active-duty service members, veterans, military families, and civilians who want a Realtor who treats them the same way. Whether you are getting orders to Camp Pendleton or leaving it, I focus on clear communication and getting you the right outcome.
Can a veteran buy a home in San Diego with zero down?
Yes. The VA loan lets eligible veterans and active-duty buyers purchase with no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. San Diego pricing runs higher than the national average, so I walk you through your entitlement, your real price range, and how to structure an offer that still clears VA appraisal.
Can you help if I am PCSing from out of state?
Absolutely, and many of my clients do exactly that. I run remote tours, handle documents digitally, and coordinate the timeline around your report date so you can close before or right as you arrive. The process is built for orders that move fast.
Which North County cities do you serve?
Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and the surrounding North County San Diego area, with a focus on military and veteran families near Camp Pendleton.
How do I reach you to get started?
Call or text me direct at (619) 485-8293, email luis@joseluistepoxjr.com, or book a 15-minute call at calendar.app.google/RzYSyirMa3hKgPk2A. Tell me your timeline and whether you are using a VA loan, and I will map out the next steps.
