The pain was relentless--one gut punch after another, tearing through us with crushing force. We were barely beginning to process the profound loss of our dad when life slammed us again, hitting us with the mortgage on his house and mountains of bills. We felt utterly lost, broken, and overwhelmed, desperately wishing he were here to guide us through the chaos. It felt like everything was crashing down all at once, and we didn't know where to turn or what to do first. Then we reached out to Jake, clueless and unsure of how to navigate this nightmare. In an instant, he responded with unwavering dedication and compassionate urgency. He took control, fought for us, and in just 45 days, we managed to sell dad's house. Words can't do justice to our deep gratitude for Jake and his incredible team--without them, we would have been lost in a storm of grief, confusion, and despair. Their kindness and unwavering support carried us through our darkest days, and for that, we are forever thankful.

I have bought or sold three homes in Blacksburg through Mike and his team. On the selling side he…read morethroughly scoped the market. His analysis suggested a sell price range that was higher than we had thought. We took his price and were amply rewarded. On the buying side in our latest purchase, Mike studying price ranges and knowing that we were intent on buying this particular residence advised us on offer options. We highly recommend Mike and his team and should we wish to buy another piece of property, we will call him first.

We did not have a positive experience with longtime Townside agent Mike Eggleston. My husband and I…read moreowned a townhouse in Blacksburg for nearly two decades that we paid Townside to manage throughout. (We moved and were absentee owners.) When it came time to sell, Mike did the absolute minimum. Home photos posted online were taken (inexpertly) with a cell phone and included images of a kitchen sink filled with dirty dishes and (inexplicably) a dirty bath with (yuck) hairs on the toilet seat. We quickly asked for photos to be taken down. We paid for maid service and requested professional photography. From the original listing (with horrible photos), Mike brought us offers well below asking from buyers who viewed our townhouse as a bargain sale. When we declined to counter, Mike was a bit of a bully as he tried to goad us into entertaining low ball offers ... while comps in the same complex represented by a Townside colleague were going at and above asking. We ended up selling at an acceptable price (but not great in a sellers' market). I produced our property flyers myself and sent them to Mike for printing and distribution. We had to stay on top of Mike for photography and house cleanings before showings. We had to be firm in our negotiations under pressure from Mike to sell low. A wholly unpleasant transaction. I am not sure if anyone reads these reviews, but if you do ... I would caution you to steer clear of Mr. Eggleston.

I had a month to find two or more properties to complete the exchange and Amy very quickly introduced me to a number of properties that fit my requirements before they even were listed on the MLS. She knew all the details, and knew how to work up good offers that had a good chance of being accepted. She is very professional and energetic but also easy going and easy to work with. She truly has her client's interests at heart and will tell you the pitfalls as well as the upsides of a given type of property, property condition,contract detail or area of town. More than once she found negotiation strategies and inconsistancies in agreements that together saved me thousands of dollars. She knows what she is doing and loves what she does. I highly recommend her!

I cannot say enough good things about Amy Hudson. When I told him I needed a realtor, a friend…read moreinsisted that I go with Amy, and I am glad I listened to him. I think what I appreciate most about her approach to buying and selling homes is her attitude. If you feel like this house is a good fit with your budget and it's what you want, go for it. If it's not right for you, it's not right for you. Instead of "selling" homes, the way a car salesperson might, Amy simply provided me with the expert advice and information that I needed to make the decisions that were best for me -- regardless of whether the listing was with her company or with a competitor. She was ever patient with my incessant questions, and she always had time for me. Even though I was not her best or wealthiest client, she treated me like I was her only client. Not only does Amy understand the Blacksburg and Christiansburg markets, but she also understands home repairs and improvements over time. She could tell me which repairs will need to be done in the next year or which improvements will ultimately boost resale value, so that I was able not only to envision living in my new home, but also to get an idea of how much time, effort and money would go into making it my own. I highly recommend Amy Hudson without reservation to anyone who wants a realtor who: * will provide them with expert knowledge of the markets and of home ownership, * will treat them with a high degree of professionalism, courtesy and respect, and * will help them to find the best fit for their wishes and budgets.
