This business may call itself Coldwell Banker Professional Realtors (CBPR), but their performance…read moreis definitely amateurish. Bottom Line Up Front: CBPR had our house to sell for twelve months and did not despite two price reductions and a change of listing agent. Our property was so unimportant to them, that issues like a broken window and rodents went unnoticed. Communication from the office to us was nearly nonexistent. This is not the behavior of a professional realty company. My first contact with CBPR was when my wife and I bought our house in April 2008. That part of the relationship was stellar. Our agent, Kayhan Ocal, patiently showed homes, answered questions and made the closing process nearly idiot-proof. When I was transferred in early 2014, it seemed a no brainer to use him and CBPR to sell our house. First, getting a straight answer about a price recommendation out of Mr. Ocal was like trying to nail Jello to a tree. Even with all the facts and several walk throughs of our home, he demurred, telling us that it's "our decision" and such. Got it. We know that. However, he's supposed to be the expert and have a clue what the house should list for. We wanted expert advice. Expected it. And didn't get it. We finally picked a price and asked his opinion. No opinion. Did we aim too low? Too high? What? Please give us some kind of feedback! The house sat on the market for six months under his stewardship and a price reduction and didn't sell. Fine. Finally, we started getting pushy for details about what he was actually doing to sell our property. The only Jello we could nail to the tree was that he had done two or three showings. Not fine. We promptly changed agents to a younger, seemingly hungrier and more motivated agent named Ryan LaPerle. Initially, he made some promising noises and reported he even did a few showings. However, after our property was no longer his new project, communication from him nearly ceased. We were the ones that had to ask for information rather than the earlier weekly reports we had been given. Later, any communication that came from the office was through a subordinate and at least once was factually inaccurate about our property. An agent who is interested in his clients is the one who calls. The message came through loud and clear: "You and your property aren't at all important to me or the company." A word about the property. You may be thinking "I'll bet you're trying to sell a dump!" False. Our property is a well-maintained, cozy, mid-1940s Cape Cod with hardwood floors, new appliances, and big back yard in a quiet neighborhood with quick access both to Norfolk Naval Base and Little Creek. We love our house. The house should sell itself. We wouldn't have bought a dump. We're not trying to sell one. Finally, we made the decision to rent. Here, we got wise and went with a different company, Bayview Realty. After Bayview Realty did their initial inspection of our property, it turns out that the company we entrusted with selling our house didn't even do periodic walk throughs to make sure the house was still salable. On CBPR's watch, rodents had moved in and a window had gotten broken. When? How? Who knows? An agent who is making showings and interested in getting the commission off of a sale would have noticed these things and contacted the owner as soon as he or she noticed. Don't waste your time here. I'm pretty sure that just about any other company will do better.

I was paired w/Rhonda M. & things greatly improved. I was in Maryland locating back to Hampton Roads for work and she was here lining up options for me when I'd drive down on the weekends. Not wanting to rent, I decided to buy and was lucky enough to find new construction well within my price range that allowed me to customize to my preference. The dealings w/Century 21 & Rhonda were transparent throughout the entire process. A few times I did want her to be a bit more aggressive with the builder (EDC) when notified of move in delays. It all worked out and if I had to work with them again, I'd chose Century 21 & Rhonda again. There were no bait and switch foolishness, no last minutes items needed that would belabor the process. Even after closing; they keep in touch and are very helpful when I need questions answered or a referral. They do offer property management and referrals for rentals as well. I do feel I could refer them with confidence.

Tommy asked the right questions, listened to my needs, and coordinated with me to check out some listings that matched my checklist. He didn't waste my time showing me a place out of my price range or a home he knew I wouldn't like. He must have shown me 10 houses and, although I never did find a place that met my wishes, he never got frustrated with me. He was always motivated and positive. In the end, he suggested I check out some rental properties in the area, since I was having issues committing to buying a home. He showed me 3 properties and finally found the perfect place for me to rent. I am loving my new rental very much and so glad he suggested we check it out. I probably wouldn't have found it without his help. I have already passed on his information to my parents, and Tommy is already helping them in their search for a new home. I will be sure to recommend Bayview Realty, and specifically Tommy, to all of my friends.

At the 10 minute mark, I called and he was still sitting at his desk. He didn't even have the decency to call to let me know he would be late. When he finally showed, I asked him to communicate more and that I was crunched for time. He says "I didn't know I would be late. I have things going on too." Wow. EXCELLENT customer service. Been in the apartment for less than a month and the toilet is messed up. There is no emergency maintenance line, so I heard back around 930. He says he texted the plumber and should hear back soon. So I tell him my mom is there but I'm working. He calls back to say "oh by the way, we don't cover it if it's a clogged drain". So, 45 minutes later, still no plumber. When I call S*, he says "oh, I thought you were at work". When I reminded him that my mom was there waiting, he said nothing.
