Phil was an excellent and informed facilitator throughout the homebuying process. As this was my first homebuying experience, he explained what I could expect. He asked helpful questions early on in the process to help me clarify for myself what I was looking for. Perhaps most importantly, he showed attentiveness to my preferences and enthusiasm for my search. His warm manner and quick responses to my questions made it clear that he was not just a passenger in the process but an interested companion. I will highly recommend him to friends, family, and anyone I know looking for help buying or selling.

I was fortunate enough to reconnect with Phil after nearly 20 years and entrust him with both our home buying and selling experience. During our search, his knowledge was invaluable, especially as we navigated the complexities of quirky older homes. Having someone who could distinguish between minor issues and significant structural concerns allowed us to truly relax.
?Phil’s communication was seamless; I never had to reach out for updates because he was always ahead of the curve. When it came time to sell, I was deeply impressed that he gave our small property the same level of attention as a luxury listing. He even helped me shovel snow after a storm to ensure we were ready for weekend viewings. Phil attended meetings he wasn't required to be at, acting as a true advocate and friend. If you are looking to buy or sell, you couldn't ask for a better partner than Phil Lawson.

I loved working with Phil and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a realtor. With the market flooded with realtors these days, finding a good one is not easy and to be honest, most realtors that I’ve met in the past when looking for a home was just looking to make a quick buck and it really deterred me from working with realtors. However, I was introduced to Phil from a realtor that I was working with while selling my home and I am forever grateful for that. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but that was how I felt when working with Phil. As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous and anxious with how the process work when buying a home for the first time. Phil was patient, answered all my question in a timely manner and really lessened my anxiety while guiding me throughout this whole procedure. I genuinely had such an amazing experience working with Phil.

My situation is a bit unique as I was selling a home from out of town, at the same time, I was looking to purchase a home in Midlothian while being out of town. Phil assured me that he could work with me even though I was out of town and so I started sending Phil photos of homes that I was interested in and he immediately started looking for homes that were similar to what my interests were. Phil was able to get appointed times to see up to 3-4 homes/day immediately (pretty much the following day or within the same week) and I really appreciated that.

Since I lived out of town at the time, Phil accommodated that by meeting up with a few of my family members in the local area for the showing. Not only did he do that, but he went above and beyond and filmed an entire personalized virtual tour of the home to send to me. Again, this was one of the many reasons how it lessened my anxiety, because now I can get feedback from my family on top of Phil’s personalized tour, which were very detailed. Another great reason to work with Phil is his networks. He seems to know everyone in town. He did recommend someone local for a loan, but I wasn’t impressed with the rates. In the end, I shopped around and looked for another bank company which offered better rates, I appreciated Phil for working with me on that.

The closing went fast and easy, and all my questions were answered. I should also add that Phil’s character is awesome. Previously before he became a realtor, he was a choir teacher. I love that. His personality is fun and optimistic for the most part, but when it’s time to get serious, he does. This whole process took 1 ½ month, which was ok for me, as this is my first home and I took my time. I highly recommend working with Phil Lawson. Thank you for everything sir.

I had the pleasure of having Phil as my realtor when buying a home in Richmond, Virginia. Phil was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and thorough throughout the process, making the process stress free. Phil went above and beyond in all stages of the process, doing things such as taking detailed video recordings of walk throughs when I was not in town, employing strategic offer/negotiation tactics, and more. Phil was always readily available to help in whatever way was needed, even on short notice. Ultimately, Phil was able to help me find a great deal in a competitive market. I would highly recommend Phil to anyone in need of a realtor; you will be in good hands!
