Working with Chris was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire home search process…read more From day one, he carried himself with the utmost professionalism .... never pushy, never rushed ...always making us feel like our goals were his top priority. We originally came to Chris looking for land, and he proved immediately that he truly knows the Fredericksburg area and surrounding region inside and out. His depth of knowledge gave us real confidence that we were in the right hands. What happened next was something we didn't expect: on a whim, we decided to take a look at a few resales just to see what was out there .... and we found our next home. Without missing a beat, Chris pivoted seamlessly and guided us all the way to closing. That kind of flexibility and attentiveness to what his clients actually need is rare. Throughout the entire process, which spanned a few months, Chris was consistently responsive, resourceful, and creative. When challenges came up, he found solutions by thinking outside the box rather than hitting a wall. And through it all, it was genuinely painless. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your best interest, look no further. We cannot recommend Chris highly enough!

Chris has helped me purchase and sell homes in the Fredericksburg, VA area, but he also helped me look around Richmond, VA for investment properties. He was always on time and had great behind-the-scenes information on the investment. I've leaned on him for real estate and financial advice several times. If you're moving to the area and you need local expertise with genuinely deep business knowledge, Chris and his team are the way to go!

Nicole helped me purchase my home in the Northern Virginia area. She was very patient as I had a…read morevery restrictive area as well as my desire for a turn key property. She sent me weekly lists of available properties as well as set up many viewings, during a 4 month period. She knew I had found MY HOME before I knew. When I asked her could we revisit the property for a 2nd time she just smiled and said "of course". I've gone through the home buying process a few times being prior military and she was by far my most pleasant realtor interaction. When it's all said and done and my time comes to an end in VA, I will definitely be calling on Nicole for her expertise in the selling process.

With the pandemic increased in number as a person working from home, it could get depressing. I…read morehave mentioned to Nicole we wanted to get out of Woodbridge when my parents moved into our 3000sqf home with no entrance through basement. With all the quarantine happening, there was a lot of arguing happens a lot between the 4 of us. We decided that we wanted to move in a place that is bigger so we all could have our own space. My top 3 requirements for Nicole was laundry upstairs, tons of kitchen cabinets and a pool; as for my husband he wanted at least 2 car garage, no hoa, 1acre+; as for my parents, 2 bedroom in the basement, kitchen space and a full bathroom. That is a lot of requirements from 4 people but that didn't phase her. She found us a gorgeous home with everything listed above & then some. Nicole has worked above and beyond to get us in this house and we could not be happier. Her laugh is contagious and she made house hunting so much more fun. She is very professional throughout the entire process, she's a good listener even small details that mentioned she has take notes. She has us in the new house and out of the old one and sold in approximately 1 month. This woman is phenomenal, I tell you! Every little thing that needed to be done to have our old home she took care of. Even months after moving in, she still help us out with any problem or questions regarding our new home. I can't thank her enough that she is now putting us on a 3+ acres estate with no HOA and a gigantic pool. Five stars time a million!!!!!

On the second day of my trip down from Massachusetts, I stopped into Coldwell Banker Elite to see if they could help me. Cori was working the desk that day and after explaining my situation, she immediately introduced me to the office manager.

Being an out of state buyer had many challenges and Cori's local knowledge, expertise in the home buying process, responsiveness to my sometimes hectic travel schedule, a genuine understanding of my needs and friendly manner put me totally at ease through this process... through many different trips to the area, home showings, offers and a final acceptance Cori helped me in every step of the process.

This time, she helped us find the perfect house in the middle of a pandemic, and she reaffirmed what we already knew: she is knowledgeable, kind, supportive, level headed, and one of the best in her field. When things got stressful, Penny was right there, both personally and professionally. We've worked with other realtors out of state, and we were constantly talking about "what would Penny do?

We initially got the cheapest property management we could find. We got our moneys worth. :-) We went with a different management company that was hitting us with erroneous bills and expenses. We've finally settled on 1st Choice and Kevin Bethel. We couldn't be happier with Kevin. He seems to have a fair and balanced way of managing our property. Has our best interest in mind, yet is fair to the tenants. Has good suggestions and guidance. Truly, the 3rd time was the charm. Never thought we would end up as landlords, but can't imagine doing it without Kevin and 1st Choice at the helm. -Kenny & Sheree Ames

RENTERS BEWARE!…read more Renting from 1st choice better homes and land as of May 2019 Hey y'all just thought I would put a little info out there because I'm stuck with this company as my property manager. Until I can get orders or a year that can't pass soon enough. Me and my fiance bent over backwards for this company and landlord. We liked the home and were led to believe it would be clean and serviceable. That has not been the case however. Day 1 upon moving in, after the property management supposedly did a home inspection after the previous tenets left. We were only given only 2 keys and no garage door openers, the 2 keys only access the front door to get into the home. We however have 3 other doors that have different locks on them that we can't use to get in the house and the exterior door that gives access to the garage won't even lock because its taped up from the previous tenants because they probably didn't have a key for it. We noticed insects, spiders, wasps and roaches in the main house and spiders, spider eggs and roaches in the garage after I immediately called the property manager and with no answer I left a voicemail that never was returned or even acknowleged I tried emailing. Eventually when my email was finally returned I was told that the manager who did the walk through didn't see any insects. After I told them there is no way in one week while the house was closed up insects could have infested to the extent that they were, I was told basically it was my problem. When we went to wash clothes that first evening we realized the washer didn't work. After I emailed the company and was basically told again it was my problem to spend money on, I paid for a technician to come out and look at the washer he told me that the washer must not have been working for at least a few months because he had never seen a drum motor so seized up. Day 2 Verizon fios doesn't provide service down here at this address in Stafford VA they only have high speed Internet which works through phone lines, wouldn't be a problem however the phone lines don't work. Honestly I could go on and tell you about a few more things but I think I've got my point across, if you do rent a property from this company either spend a some money and pay for an home inspection or check the place out yourself after the property managers supposedly do their home inspections. Save yourself headaches and money. I don't believe asking for home to be clean and in working order is that big of a stretch apparently however for this company it is.

We knew he was our agent from the start with his confidence and can-do attitude. Communication and honesty was the two most important factors in selecting a real estate agent. David and his son, Jared, who is in the process of getting his Real Estate license, went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure that our property was ready to go on the market by the list date. They even pitched in to help get things ready without being asked and continuously changed things up to spark attention. They truly take pride in the properties they list and offer great suggestions.
