Jim Wilson was our Realtor not only for when we first arrived to Virginia Beach and purchased our…read morefirst home, but also was there for us when it came time to sell our home 3 years later. During both the buying and selling process, he walked us through step by step and made sure the home purchase, and later the home sale, went great. He was always communicating with us and sat down with us so we could discuss our options. When it came time for use to move secondary to work commitments, his marketing and negotiation plan got us top dollar, with professional photographs, market updates and pre-listing preparation. It's stressful selling a house but Jim's communications, planning, and help really helped out a lot. Thank you Jim for all you have done for us!

We had to do virtual showings since I was out of state, but he took the time to help me fully understand the MLS website and then did FaceTime showings for the beach homes I wanted to see.

I highly recommend Jim to all my friends and family since he took such great care of me and my family.

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.

I had to relocate quickly for work and with everything else I had to worry about, selling my home was not one of them! Frank had my home professionally photographed and listed within days of me first contacting him. My home was only on the market 4 days before I had multiple offers above the original asking price. Frank scheduled multiple showings and was always available for questions. He kept me informed of all progress on the closing from beginning to end. It was just all around a fantastic experience. I wish I could move Frank with me and have him help me buy/ sell my next home. I cannot express enough how at ease Frank made me and my spouse feel through the whole process.

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!
