We hardly knew anything about the buying market and zero idea…read moreabout the must have / should have / nice to have features that we need to look for in a home. But lucky us, we had Javier, his expertise in this market helped us to find the best home in our affordable budget. He was very flexible, planned the visits around our stringent schedule, patient enough to listen to all our concerns. I really appreciate his tolerance to all naïve questions that we asked throughout the process until closing, it has not stopped even now. He is our go to person till date. Thanks to him that now we have so much knowledge that we can share with others, and more importantly refer Javier and his firm whole heartedly to our dear and near, you can be rest assured.

This review is for our realtor Taylor Mock. He was referred to us by a friend and has been so…read moregreat to work with. When my husband and I found out that we were expecting and decided to look for a larger home, we came to Mock to express our request of our "perfect home" that was within our price range and in our wanted school zoning area. He was very patient with me, because having a strong Asian background I had specific feng shui requirements (such as the stairs not facing directly in front of the door). Before we knew what we really wanted, we explored the available options that he had for us to get a feel of what we wanted in our home and what we would consider perfect. I def know that with the money that we were putting in, I made sure to ask as many questions and address any concerns that I had on each home - which he did not mind at all (Thank you Taylor!) haha. What I really appreciated from him was when we made plans to check out 3 houses one weekend, but found out the day before that one of those houses was going to have an offer put in - which means that we would not be able to see it if we were truly interested in purchasing. He rearranged his schedule and got us an opportunity to check out the house before it would be potentially be off the market. We checked it out and was so close to saying "yes" to the house, but we had found out that the kitchen was not facing in the right direction (according to our custom feng shui). We sadly had to walk away from the house, but he did not give up on us! After the Thanksgiving holiday, we made an appointment to check out two houses over the weekend. The first house we checked out just screamed out liability risk (that tends to happen to you when you work in the insurance industry) and just couldn't move forward with their backyard. The second house that we saw ended up being THE HOUSE that we fell in love with. It was within our price range, had a majority of what we wanted in a home, backyard is beautiful, and...it had ALL of our feng shui requirements. I have to admit, although I may be making it seem like we've been searching homes for month, we had only been looking at houses for less than a month. Taylor has been wonderful in keeping in touch with us and amending any changes on the system the company uses in order to narrow the search. Very responsive in his emails and answer any questions that I had in the search. Anyways, we are to close this month and we couldn't have done it without his help. He has been so helpful in making this process as easy and exciting as we had hoped for and I will def be recommending him to all of my friends and family members.

We were paired up with Steve Kirby as our agent. I just love Steve. We scheduled a meeting with Bernice and Steve to discuss what we needed. We received a complete power point show about what community was where and amenities. A complete geography crash course. Remember, we were coming here sight unseen based on this presentation. They took over 2 hours to go over things which totally helped us understand the RVA area. After this meeting we went home and started receiving portal updates. We starred the items we loved and trashed the ones that weren't our type/style. Every day was exciting to look at this portal. (I hate to say it, we miss the daily portal.) During this 3 or 4 months of time both Steve and Bernice were available if we needed anything. When we found our home Steve set up the inspection and processed all the paperwork needed on their end. Bernice and Steve came to our closing. Which meant a lot to us. This is a big change to us and we are settling in with a few bumps along the way. We don't regret working with Bernice and Steve. They were worth their weight in gold. Not only are they good realtors. They are good people. So, stop reading all the yelp reviews and contact them. You won't regret it, I promise.

I couldn't be happier that we decided to go with her as our realtor. Throughout the process, she has been by our side every step of the way. Buying a home, especially your first home, can be an extremely scary process, but Bernice made it effortless and enjoyable despite us hitting some speed bumps along the way. There are no words to adequately describe her genuine desire to do ONLY what is best for her clients. She is one of the most patient and caring individuals we have ever met. We looked at 24 homes and put in 5 offers before getting our home, and she never once blinked an eye. She was always willing to meet us at our convenience. Communication was beyond perfect. We have not only secured a gorgeous home, but we have gained a friend for life with Bernice. We could not recommend her enough. You would be absolutely insane not to choose her for YOUR Happy Ending!

We've had the pleasure of using this professional group for both, and highly recommend their services. Having moved numerous times, there is no comparison to the quality of services you'll receive if they're chosen. The level of communication, expertise in their field, and the fact that they go well beyond what's normally expected in a real estate firm, attest to reasons why we are so appreciative of their assistance in selling our home. Downsizing was a priority with this particular move, so Sarah found us reasonable options for the belongings we no longer wanted to keep. Also, since pressed for time, Sarah arranged for cleaning prior to the buyer's walkthrough. These helpful gestures are a few examples of why the sell of our home was flawless. Using Sarah and her team was the least stressful part of the whole moving process. We will forever be grateful for them!
