“Working with this agent was a great experience. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide support every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication made the entire process easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“Our previous agent insisted that we find a different agent who was more familiar with the Hampton roads area after spending almost 3 months on the market. Rhodonna was highly recommended to us by a family friend, we heard so many great stories about her working hard on the buying and selling side. Once we were dropped by our previous agent, we then decided to reach out to Rhodonna and she agreed to represent us with no hesitation. She came in immediately casting vision for the staging of the home, targeting of potential buyers, and ensuring that we would walk away from the table satisfied. She fully agreed with us on our desirable outcome and worked very hard until it was done. In about 1 month, despite a tough market, Rhodonna had us under contract. Her follow up and follow through with the potential buyers that ended up purchasing our home was very professional and ideal for desired representation in an agent. We highly recommended Rhodonna! Hard worker, master negotiator, & closer!!”
“Our realtor Jessica Estrada is top-notch - she goes above and beyond in everything she does. She showed up numerous times to help our property be ready to sell and did whatever it took. Our house sold within two months due to her ads and persistence. Because of her, our house closed on time. She is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and teaches others in her group. We are so thankful for Jessica.”
“Debbie Martin is such a wonderful person. Very knowledgeable in her field. She has such a strong community of friends that she can reach out to for advice for repairs. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.”
“Debbie was a pleasure to work with with. She and her staff are always quick to answer any questions. They ensure the process for was was as easy as it could be. They were ready to help with every step. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
“My overall experience has been great! My wife and I decided on the same Realtor - which is rare we agree after 38 years. We chose Raquel Ott and she has done a superb job for us!!”
“Deb Kelly did a fantastic job!”
“Kimberly and Holly were very personable and professional. They were very informative. They guided us through this cumbersome and tedious process. They both were great to work with and kept us abreast with what we needed to do to sell our home. We are most grateful to work with them. They know what it takes to sell a house!”
“Mark was a great person to work with. I found him to have a high level of integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend Mark or use him again if conditions warranted. Mark was a pleasure to work with and I feel that he placed my requirements above his, a wonderful representation of a professional realtor and individual. Highly recommended!!”
“Because I was trying to do a long distance short sale, I needed someone who really knew what they were doing. I was given the name and number of Colin. He took on the challenge and a little over two years later, we finally closed. If you have done a short sale before, it is a very trying ordeal! Colin took good care of the house, had repairs done, and always had clients waiting in line with a new contract. I believe it was the 5th contract and a lot of patience that got us to closing.”
