This was a crazy market for buying a home. Property was on the market then off so fast. People paying above starting prices and not even having inspections. Jack worked with me for months of looking into different properties. We put in offers on several properties, some were passed over because I asked for an inspection or wasn't willing to overbid. Jack's sage advise was very welcoming and appreciated. They weren't right for me and would have been bad investments. Finally, after looking at so many condos and townhouses, I actually found a house that we went into and I felt at home upon entering. Jack was able to set up inspections. With information he was able to gather, we made a game plan and made the purchase. He was able to get me a reduction in my purchase price to cover the work I needed to get done to the house to make it move in ready. It also allowed me to save some funds from the sale of my family home, to put aside for other improvements that I would like to do down the road. He also offered his experience of working with contractors to get the work done. Thank You Jack Blake for being a great realtor and becoming an awesome friend.

So disappointed in how our home buying experience went. Be wary of people that use their own guys…read moreto do inspections and fix things. They are probably working for them so they get the sale! Here are just a few things that the inspector and realtor did not catch or mention: The electrical connections for the fans upstairs were a major fire hazard and I simply cannot believe this was overlooked. Whoever connected the fans before, connected them to a 220V AC unit for the sunroom. They kept lowering the gauge of the wire so it went form 10 gauge (dual 20A breaker) to 12 gauge to 14 gauge wire and eventually to 18 gauge and it kept blowing lights and burning motors on the fans. Not only did the inspector not notice it, but the contractor that replaced or fixed the fans didn't say anything about it!!!! They also forgot to mention that there were no electrical boxes behind the ceiling fans. They were screwed in directly to the joist through the drywall. Of course, that is not what we were told. Also, another major issue is that the hood over the stove is vented to the sunroom as well which was never put in the inspector's report, and I am sure will be another electrical issue. I am also pretty sure that this particular home model had a loft that was converted into a third bedroom and that information was never given to us. I am not sure why any of this was not caught by the inspector, but this is why I had pressed hard for a second inspection by a different inspector. In the backyard there is a shed that is in bad shape and was found to have termite damage. I asked if the homeowner would be willing to remove it, only to be told by my own realtor that was ridiculous. And sure maybe it is, but then what is the harm in asking! Our sunroom had a bad panel in it. We were told oh it will get fixed but not until after the closing. I wasn't having it and wanted out of the house and voiced my opinion about the house, and me wanting out, and another inspection. All of the sudden the night before closing everything is fixed! So the realtor quickly got someone to go in and patch it up. Heck for all I know it could have been him! We didn't even have time to look! My husband says whoever did patchwork did a lousy job and the fact that the paperwork stated they needed to use a qualified contractor for everything. That was never done. Our sunroom leaks of course right where that panel is now! I feel like a fool for a number of reasons. First, I knew in my gut there was something not right about this house. There were so many things that came up in the inspection but I could also tell it just wasn't a good well maintained home. There was a lot of work that needed to be done and I didn't trust the inspector's report. I desperately wanted a second opinion and was basically shut down. Then at closing my name was left off the deed. I should have gotten up and ran then! I felt like I was being forced into buying this house and it wasn't like buying a house it was like buying a used car! Also at closing I felt like I was forced to write a review about the experience. I was made to feel bad for wanting so much to get done, that I felt like I was in the wrong! I was actually feeling guilty and very pregnant, so I wrote what I felt would be fair ,but it is not the way I truly felt. My husband has had to fix so many things with this house already, thank God we've documented all of it too, I am planning on taking my situation elsewhere. My advice: HIRE YOUR OWN INSPECTOR! And if you are not happy with your realtor or the answers they give you get a new one!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Eric! From our very first conversation, it was clear…read morethat he genuinely cared about helping us find not just any rental, but the right one for our needs. He took the time to really listen to what was important to us--our budget, our desired neighborhood, our must-haves and deal-breakers--and showed us only listings that made sense. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and professionalism made the entire process feel smooth and far less stressful than we ever expected. What stood out most was how patient and encouraging he was, even when we were feeling discouraged after a couple of places didn't work out. Eric never pressured us, always kept us informed, and went above and beyond--even checking in after we moved to make sure everything was going well. Thanks to his guidance, we found a place that feels like home--somewhere we truly love waking up each day. We are beyond grateful for their help and would wholeheartedly recommend Eric Hovik to anyone looking for a rental (or buying/selling!) in the area. Truly one of the best experiences we've had with a real estate professional.

It's only a half hour drive to the oceanfront, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, all of which I go to weekly. They allow the first pet for a $300 deposit and $20 extra for rent. I believe it's $100 deposit and $10 extra rent for the second. Plenty of parking for everyone who lives here, and the area is kept clean frequently by hired workers.
