Kit M. sold a home in Hampton

I was introduced to Lavette when she cold called me, saying she had just listed a condo in Hampton, and wanted to know if I knew of any buyers. She then asked if I had planned on selling in the near future, and it turned out I had been contemplating it since I now live out of state. I thought her marketing strategy was great. Agents always call to see if I want to sell, but I had never had an agent call me looking for a buyer for their listing. After all, don't they just put it on the MLS and wait for a buyer to come along? Lavette promised that she could sell my condo quickly and for top dollar. Not only did she deliver on that promise, but she also saved me from paying buyer closing costs and saved me thousands of dollars in commission. I don't have another property right now, but when I am ready to sell again I will definitely be using Lavette. She is top notch and truly delivers on her words. She is awesome! Thank you Lavette!

Gwendolyn A. sold a home in Suffolk

If I could give 10 stars across the board, I would. Lavette is phenomenal! The knowledge and research she brought us from Day 1 assured us that we made the right decision in choosing her to help us sell my mother's home quickly. After just 1 day on the market, we had legitimate offers and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome of a quick closing. With Lavette, you will not only gain access to her expertise but her wonderful network as well. Thanks, Lavette for such a smooth process. We hope to work with you again in the future.

Teresa D. sold a home in Suffolk

Lavette took the time to educate me that the majority of "We Buy Houses For Cash" companies were not actually cash investors at all. Their strategy is to get homes under contract at a lowball price and then sell the contract to an actual cash investor at a higher price. What she said happened to me not once but twice and I could not understand how I could have been lead down this path, taking up days and my time only to be let down. I also learned from Lavette was hard money lender approvals are not worth the paper they’re written on due to fewer ethical constraints and standards. Lavette assured me she could truly sell my home for top dollar, and she delivered! She negotiated so that I didn’t have to cover the buyer’s closing costs or pay a buyer agent's commission and secured a cash offer with a quick closing. I trusted Lavette every step of the way, and she did not let me down. I highly recommend Lavette; she operates with integrity and transparency.

Carolyn B. sold a home in Virginia Beach

Lavette did an excellent job assisting me with the sale of my home in Virginia Beach. Her expertise and knowledge were essential to getting the house sold in just a few days after going on the market. I would definitely encourage everyone to utilize her services if you can.

Yolanda S. sold a home in South Norfolk

Lavette is a awesome realtor , goes beyond the call of duty. She was able to sell my property above cost. I was able to do repairs with a contractor who didn't get paid until I closed. She kept me updated throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to have her as my realtor. I would tell anyone to hire her as your realtor I'm a witness she will get your house sold for top dollar. what are you waiting for? You tried the rest now try the best.
