David Newsome

Veterans and military retirees relocating to the Tuscaloosa area face unique challenges when purchasing a home with VA financing, especially when managing the process from outside the area.

I am David Newsome, a retired U.S. Army Colonel, REALTOR®, and Military Relocation Professional (MRP) with The Williams Group at Keller Williams Tuscaloosa. With 38.5 years of combined military and Department of the Army civilian service, along with 19 years of technology consulting experience for Fortune 100 corporations, I bring a structured, analytical approach to complex real estate decisions.

My primary focus is helping veterans and military retirees navigate VA-financed home purchases in the Tuscaloosa area. I help clients understand the transaction, evaluate material risks, make informed decisions, and coordinate the interconnected pieces—including property searches, virtual showings, inspections, VA appraisal requirements, repairs, lender and title coordination, deadlines, and closing logistics.

Having experienced numerous relocations throughout my military and federal career, I understand the challenges of managing major transitions, particularly when time, distance, and competing responsibilities complicate the process. I also serve on the KW Military Board of Directors, supporting a nationwide community of real estate professionals committed to serving military-connected clients.

My primary market is Tuscaloosa, with service extending through Northport, West Alabama, and Greater Birmingham. While I also represent other residential buyers and sellers, my primary focus remains veterans and military retirees using VA home loan benefits, particularly those purchasing from outside the area.

Your Home. My Mission.
