This review is for LINDA M. PLATON. I apologize for the harshness, but she is an idiot and should…read morelose her real estate license. I don't know if she only works a couple days a year, but she does not seem to know standards of practice for realtors. What a nightmare to have to work with her. For example, if your name is John Smith, anyone with that name is going to come up as a possible lien when selling a home. Once the seller's social is verified, it's a null issue. Linda created panic reporting that there was a lien on the house & the sale wouldn't go through. Then, she unethically requested on a Sunday for the buyers to move in the next day, despite the closing date was on Wednesday. Don't waste your money!! There are a ton of realtors in Hampton Roads. Shop around & check reviews.

I chose my realtor Kayla Rosado off of a few conversations we had when I was window shopping for a…read morehome. Not only was she attentive but she was very sensitive to my concerns as a new home owner. The process itself in home buying is EXTREMELY STRESSFUL!! Let's not sugar coat it! They take everything except your blood type. I honestly haft to say Kayla was there to hold my hand through each turn. Kayla's strengths is definitely her quick response times! She is extremely thorough, flexible,and easy to talk too. The knowledge she has puts her above the rest! Her middle name must be patience because she has plenty! She stayed within my budget and was honest. Overall Kayla was a joy to work with! I would strongly recommend working with her but shop around for the best interest rates and title company once your offer is accepted as you want to make sure the teams that handles these tasks are just as diligent, warm, and courteous as Kayla.

I cannot recommend Karen Adcock enough. She was my tireless and knowledgeable ally during the…read moreprocess of selling my late mother's Virginia Beach house long distance. She was always there, always available, arranging replacement appliances, fixing roofs, getting rid of unwanted furniture, replacing carpets. Revisiting the process in my mind makes my head spin. And yet I succeeded because Karen was there. Her extraordinary energy, knowledge and organization made it possible. I can't imagine doing it with anyone else. Again, the highest possible recommendation. Tim Speidel New York City

With our recent relocation to Virginia Beach we faced many challenges, low inventory, rising prices and interest rates, and the restrictions of a corporate relocation company. Despite the mounting challenges, Karen helped us find a home that satisfied ALL of our needs and desires. Not only did Karen persevere in our search, but she has been the most ardent advocate for us throughout the entire process and even after the transaction was complete. Karen Adcock is the epitome of the consummate real estate professional.

Natalie…read moreis incredibly knowledgeable in neighborhoods, working with builders and has great relationships with lenders which allowed us to make our homeownership dream a reality. She was able to secure us a new build on an acreage lot during this hot market and we can't believe she made it happen! Did I mention we purchased from across the country?! Natalie FaceTimed us from the lot and provided photos regularly so we felt comfortable going under contract virtually. We would highly recommend going with Natalie at 757 Realty for your buying and selling needs!

Jessica helped us last year when I reached out to her about purchasing a house. We had some…read moremiscommunication and didn't talk for awhile so we went with a different agent(s). After 2 agents dropped us for being 2 busy, I called Jessica right away and she was so professional. She cares and is always willing to ask. We are working with a different realtor but I always keep in touch with Jessica for input and questions on real estate. She has grown and even read several magazine articles on her and her family. Yes, she can be aggressive but it's meant in kindness and wanting to get you the best deal or house possible. Look to her for the Peninsula to VB. I appreciate her as a friend and if something happens, def will call her in a pinch. Kip

I'm known for long reviews, so bear with me. A little about me, I am a young professional, and was…read morelooking for my first home on a VERY conservative budget within a 6wk timeline with a heavy preference of staying in the VB area. So not the easiest client. I would absolutely recommend Jessica for all your real estate needs! Holy cow, that woman is a dynamite! I was originally working with a team of real estate agents. They felt 'off', I would give them a list of properties that I was interested in and they never explained why they weren't setting up viewings. After about 2wks with them, unbeknownst to me, they transferred me to Jessica. I was truly offput by my interaction with them and was hesitant at first. BUT, I am SO DANG GLAD they transferred me to Jessica! From the moment we first texted/called she was on point, immediately responding back and providing me more information than I expected! She provided me access to her reinmls matrix which, I discovered, my previous agent should have done. Within 24hrs of being set up with her we had a phone conference to discuss exactly what I was looking for, again she was WAY more thorough then my previous experiences! Not once did she show me a listing that was above my price range, or pressure me towards viewing/considering a home that I did not show interest in. Not once did I get the feeling that she was "in it for the commission", in fact it is truly apparent that she is in it for the client! While perusing listings on a Saturday afternoon I saw a few that clicked with me and sent it to her. She immediately responded back and within a few hours, had several of the listings scheduled! Went to see the listings and she gave me her honest feedback on them. Again, showing she cares more about the client then the commission. My very first listing that day was the ONE! I went home after viewing them and within 2hrs, texted her to go ahead with an offer. She walked me through what the process would look like. And that evening, with her due diligence and efforts, the contract with my offer and terms was completed, signed, and sent. The very next day she was able to update me that it was accepted! The following month was full of a flurry of activity and Jessica was on top of literally everything. Again, as a first time homebuyer, there were so many things I did not think about or know...thank god for Jessica making sure to give me a heads up on any and everything! She got me pretty much everything on my wishlist during the walkthrough plus some! And she stayed on top of the seller's agent to get updates and everything I needed even though they were often not as easily accessible. Final walkthrough and closing day, she still was working a thousand miles a minute getting things done for me. My mortgage lender (Tidewater mortgage) called to just check on me. He even commented that he had never worked with Jessica before but he has really enjoyed how on top of her game she is and she doesn't ever quit haha! Even though I closed, there are still a few repair issues that were not completed. Although technically she has sold the house to me, she is still diligently working to ensure that everything is good to go. If you made it this far, congratulations haha! But seriously, go with Jessica...you won't regret it! She made what could have been a very stressful time, the least stressful time imaginable. I didn't have to worry about a thing with her on my side and I am so thankful that I ended up with her. I will definitely be contacting Jessica with my all future real estate needs!

This is our second time working with Mary Kraft. The first time was selling our primary residence…read moreback in May 2022. The most recent time was to sell our rental property in March 2024. We would recommend her to any of our friends who are in the market selling their home within the Hampton Roads area. She is extremely knowledgeable and will recommend a few things to consider prior to listing the property. Trust me, these recommendations were extremely helpful, and sold both our properties in just a few days of being on the market. If you are looking for a great realtor, call Mary Kraft today! If we have the option to make it back to the Hampton Roads area, we will be calling Mary to find our next home. She is terrific to work with!

She had great and fast communication throughout the process and we found our home much quicker and easier than expected. She still keeps in touch and has annual get togethers for her clients. Mary was very helpful in providing recommendation on places to live, especially since we were looking at homes from a different state. She was very accommodating and would FaceTime in for every showing since couldn't be here in person- she would point out all the good and bad in the homes. Would 100% recommend Mary as your next realtor!

Our home had an offer in the first 2 days of listing. When their financing fell through and we opened the listing, we had another offer within a week. The buyer's agent was horrible to work with, but Charlotte is by the book. She held her feet to the fire and we were able to close in the time frame we wanted. Charlotte's knowledge and connections to get repairs made quickly and at a reasonable price only adds to her outstanding abilities. The closing attorney, Sullivan Callihan was also on the ball. She and her broker at Chandler Real Estate are top notch. She reviewed the market, was accurate on pricing and great about talking things through when I had questions. She was always available when I reached out to her and kept us in the loop with any developments. I wholeheartedly recommend Charlotte Chandler if you need to sell your home.

So my mother had her home built in 2018 by Napolitano Homes located in Chesapeake off elbow road…read moreand Graphite trail (Fieldstone I believe). On the surface the home is beautiful, but we are later finding out that underneath it all, it's built with cheap products and shoddy craftsmanship. After 8 years, the bathtubs are cracking and completely failing. We reached out to another company in to do renovations on the bathtubs, we are finding that Napolitano Homes cut corners with the electrical that was ran in the upstairs bathroom (photos included). To make matters worse, there was (0) support underneath the tub and the electrical run was just laid on the floor leading to the junction box instead of securing through the wall. Fast forward, renovation has stopped because the electrical cord needs to be rerouted (like it should have been), ultimately costing her money. Talking with the electrician, he noted that while this was to code with the electrical, it was very much frowned upon workmanship. Roughly costing $800 to reroute a very lazy decision by the electrician wiring the house up when it was built. Furthermore, we also opted in getting the downstairs bathroom redone also due to my (2) brother's who are 100% handicap. Come to find out, no surprise, when this tub indeed had (0) support underneath. No wonder why moving around that tub almost felt like you would fall through at any moment (much scarier upstairs). This time again construction had to be halted because now the piping was in the way and had to be rerouted, costing roughly $3,000 (photos included) Napolitano Homes is highly to blame for this headache induced frustration of corner cutting which ultimately costs the home owner money down the road. This 1000% leads us to wonder what else they have cut corners on with in this house. Would not recommend AT ALL.

While buying a new home is exciting and everything looks good closing day we were hit with poor…read moreworkmanship in our homes from the day of closing at Village Point. In closing day we were told by Jamaar our flooring would be replaced due to poor seams and missing pieces of flooring. While that was honored our flooring was redone and pink glue is showing through and that has not been replaced. Our primary bathroom shower door was installed to the wrong side so you had to walk into a bench seat which is not compliant to ADA, and there was a crack in our shower. Through poor workmanship they flipped our door upside down sealed it terrible and jamaar left it at that's the best we're going to get so the door is not actually even framed in properly and the crack in our shower was just repaired with mud and continued to crack further and the flex in our shower floor was blown off. Fast forward and the whole things needs to be replaced and the warranty department said that's outside our warranty window for workmanship. So here I am saying this is the quality of workmanship they stand behind. When our carpets were replaced on our main floor it was cheaply done and instead of ripping everything out they kept the initial padding to save money and didn't apply any padding to fill in the gaps. As time goes by you can really tell the work quality that the builder stands behind. Many people had problems with showered flexing and leaking through th garage drywall. Many people had issues with flooring, many people had issues with pipes freezing from poor insulated quality on the exterior walls of their homes. While napolitano will deny this, it is the truth. So buyers beware and know what to look for upon your inspections while hiring your own private inspector as well to document everything and keep your emailing accordance. The warranty department does not want to do the work and they stand behind this quality.
