I want to take a moment to recognize my realtor, Joe McAvoy, and his team for their unwavering support over the past several months. It's crucial to have a realtor who is understanding and flexible, especially when working from afar. Joe embraced the challenge of assisting a remote client like me, navigating the complexities of getting the house ready for the market. He utilized his extensive network to find solutions and took the time to explain what strategies worked, what didn't, and how the market was trending. His efforts in competitively pricing the house while helping us stay within budget were invaluable. I am grateful for his dedication in following up with showings, communicating with the buyers' realtors during multiple offers, and ensuring we had a fair chance at selling our home. If you're in the Hampton Roads area and looking to sell your home, or if you have an assignment at one of the many bases in the region, I highly recommend reaching out to Joe McAvoy.

Joe McAvoy did an amazing job assisting me and my mother on the sale of the home she has lived in for over 20 years. I live in AR and my mother's home was in Hampton, and I was very concerned about having to manage selling a home out of state. Joe made it a lot easier for me by referring a reliable, affordable painter, carpet installer, landscaper, house cleaner, power washer and handyman to get the home ready for the market in my time frame of less than 30 days. I was able to trust his guidance and the results were outstanding. We were able to sell the home at full asking and with no issues. He was very patient and thorough in reviewing all of the details in the contracts and real estate process via several conference calls, and made himself available to meet with me when I was able to fly in to check on the progress. I wanted an agent with deep knowledge of the Hampton area, and the real estate experience that would provide grand results that would move us forward And Joe did it!

Joe McAvoy is a true GOAT of his craft/industry. He is extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process from locating/listing a property to closing. He conducts himself with pristine professionalism, patience, and very responsive to handling/advising all of the intricate details that goes into closing. He brings a super team who assist with achieving client results. I have enjoyed working with Mr. McAvoy on several transactions he has assisted me with the last couple of years.
