If I Could Give Zero Stars, I Would Moving into my new…read morecondo should've been exciting -- but dealing with this HOA made it a nightmare. My realtor and I tried reaching out from day one just to open an account for monthly payments. After only three months (yes, three!), I finally got access. Then came the roof leak -- water coming through the ceiling. I submitted a request, waited patiently... and waited some more. Two months later? Still no action, not even an update. I also asked for parking approval for my work truck -- silence. Requested a copy of the HOA's insurance -- silence again. Communication apparently isn't their strong suit. Friends warned me about how terrible this HOA was, but I didn't believe it until I experienced it myself. Now I can confirm -- they were absolutely right. Unresponsive, disorganized, and impossible to deal with.

Brooks broke the law and charged me for it. I was a residential tenant who wanted to move out and…read moreend my lease. I followed their directions, did all the paperwork and had my house professionally cleaned, as required. My contact, Crisney never scheduled an official move-out inspection, as required by state law. After moving out, they sent what they said was left of my security deposit withholding over $800, most of which was for cleaning an already cleaned house. After many emails and calls over 2 month's time, they have stopped communicating with me. My next step is probably going to be a civil suit.

We had such a great time with Liz Moore. We used Shelly Sheehe to both buy our house and sell the…read moreone we were currently in. Liz Moore sold our house within 40 days! Which was amazing because it was a presidential election year and right in the middle of all of the holidays. She also showed us all of the houses we asked and stuck with us for 6 months until we found the perfect house (we had a really specific neighborhood and criteria). Highly recommend Liz Moore :)

She showed me every house I asked about, even said a few would not work, and she was right. I would highly recommend Peggy Todd as your realtor.

I was on the hunt for a new home, as a first time home buyer. I reached out to Elaine, as she…read moreintroduced herself to me around 6 months prior at a local grocery store. I called her and the next day we were out looking at potential homes. Elaine was not pushy, she was thorough, honest, and above all reliable and knowledgeable. She was available to answer my calls day and night, and I must admit - I tried to be respectful of her time, sometimes that was not always the case, as a question would come to mind, and I wanted to pose the question while I could. She never presented to me that she was inconvenience or put off by my constant questions. Elaine is the BEST at what she does! She provided me with a list of vendors that I could call in the event that I ever need service. My home purchase experience was complete in less than 25 days, literally!!!! I moved into my home, within a months time!! I heard plenty of horror stories about the "home buying" experience, but none of them reined true - not with Elaine! I recommend her and her company to you, without a doubt! Call them, and ask for ELAINE!!!!

Review of Merrilee Cleveland, Realtor, Coldwell Banker Traditions…read moreLeisa Meyer I have worked with four realtors in my life - and among those no one was more professional, dedicated, honest, and generous with their time than Merrilee Cleveland. She is a superb realtor! Here are a few, among many others, examples of why... On the "official" realtor side of things - among many other approaches, from the beginning Merrilee provided me with the materials I needed or might need to think with her about my listing price, property description, and possibilities; for one example, from our first conversation she had he figures on comparables and the best ways the value of my finished walk-out basement could be included in the value of my home. The fact that the square footage of a basement - finished or not - is not always counted in the appraiser's evaluation of a home's value doesn't make sense to me but she explained why and then designed ways that the basement's worth, if not the square footage, could be incorporated into that value (an approach that proved very effective when the appraisal came in right where we needed it to be:) She is an exceptional professional realtor. And she does so much beyond what that job description entails... When I was anxious about the listing price she was my counselor - talking me through the numbers, speaking about the particular moment in the market, and spending literally hours in conversations with me about possibilities and on more than one occasion talking me down from my tendency to bounce from one negative "what if" scenario to another. Instead, with a calm patience, she would simply say "This is your home, you are selling, so anything you want or don't want to do is your call." She respected me and my opinions and gave me the information I needed to make more informed decisions. By the end of the process her quiet confidence had inspired in me a deep belief not just in her remarkable capabilities as a realtor but also in my own judgment. On the intangible side - and perhaps most telling - how many of you have had realtors spend hours in the homes you are selling with a magic eraser to eliminate scuffs from the walls (I couldn't afford to repaint everything before putting the house on the market). Or a realtor who was always present - I mean every single day - prior to your home going on the MLS - replacing lightbulbs, eliminating the hard water rings from toilets, keeping floors vacuumed and swept? And I will always remember standing next to her on my large deck, and its scarred surface and worn stain, and then the two of us together refinishing and painting it. Merrilee Cleveland rolls up her sleeves and does anything necessary for your home to sell...and at the best price. Oh I forgot, she is also a brilliant stager! I almost didn't recognize my home when the pictures went up... So, back to my questions for you - how many of you have had a realtor who paid out of her own pocket for the items to use in staging in order to place your home in the best possible light? In the end, Merrilee Cleveland is not just a broadly knowledgeable and expert realtor - she is someone who inspires confidence in the owners she works with and in the other realtors who bring clients to see our properties. And that confidence comes in large part from her exceptional generosity with her time - no task was too small or unworthy of her attention and care. I would wager that among the realtors you have known or engaged very few share this "above and beyond" ethic and approach. I won't just recommend her, I would also say that if you are considering selling your home and want the best experience and results possible CALL HER NOW!! Merrilee Cleveland - she is, quite simply, THE BEST!!

Five stars are not enough to say what a great realtor Jeff Minor is! Jeff came highly recommended…read moreto us by a fellow realtor. He knows real estate inside and out, and could not have been a nicer person to work with. Jeff was born and raised in Williamsburg and knows this area like the back of his hand. Because we were moving to Williamsburg from another part of the state, Jeff took the time to show us various sub divisions where homes held their value and also gave us a good overview of the entire Williamsburg, James City County, and York County areas. Jeff was always available to us, answered every question, and never missed a beat throughout the entire process of our home search. He has even contacted us now that we are moved in to check on how we are doing and if we need assistance finding any services in the area. We could not have asked for a more professional realtor, and we just can't thank him enough. You cannot go wrong with Jeff Minor!
