My boyfriend and I first used Long & Foster in December of 2020. April Miller helped us find a perfect townhome to rent while, we saved money to buy a house. Fast forward to December 2021- April helped us once again to find our first home. She worked effortlessly with us for four months full of many offers, tours, etc. and fast forward to today- we have closed! We loved working with Long and Foster and it has been soooo great to have our relator, broker, & title agency all in the same place! I would highly recommend working with april and the rest of the team!

Lisa Lowery was amazing. She showed us homes from Williamsburg to Hampton. We weren't sure where we wanted to end up. She showed us we asked about and some she thought for our want list. We are so very happy with where we ended up. She even went beyond by waiting at the house for the gas company so we could finish the home inspection and complete closing that day. I highly recommend her and Long and Foster.

Carmen Hamner was by far the best realtor that I have ever met, if we didn't already buy our new home from carmen i would do it all again. Carmen was extremely helpful and no matter what, she would accommodate my family and I. Carmen took us step by step through the entire process and made it easy, she went above and beyond to help us find a home. From day one to closing it took around 30 days and in turn we have built a great relationship with a new friend. I would highly recommend carmen as a realtor.

Linden Bentley with Long & Foster Williamsburg is an incredible realtor to work with, especially as a first-time home buyer! To explain the full experience, I need to go back to when we first moved to Williamsburg. My husband and I moved to Williamsburg from Ohio about a year and a half ago and wanted to move into a rental for the first year until we could get a better idea of the area(s) where we would want to buy. We were in the tough position of trying to find a good rental from afar, and Linden happened to be the realtor who reached out to us about some of our rental inquiries on Zillow. Not only did she reach out to all of the property managers to get our questions answered, but she also walked us around the properties on FaceTime and ultimately helped us negotiate to get the best rental price. She didn't have to be so thorough in her helpfulness during the process, but took us under her wing and made sure we were well taken care of. This is why we decided to reach out to her when we were interested in buying our first home. Fast-forward to this last summer (in the middle of the pandemic), and we decided we were ready to start looking for our first home. After realizing the current inventory was very low, we knew we would have to make a quick decision as were looking at homes. Linden got us prepared by suggesting we write a personalized buyer letter and always keeping us updated on listings we might be interested in. Because we were concerned about the timing of our last month's rent and first mortgage payment, she helped us work out a timeline with the property manager at our rental. We had already secured financing when stepping foot in the door at Long & Foster, but Prosperity Home Mortgage next door was able to sit down with us and offer a better rate on the spot. She was also able to suggest companies to use for our home inspection and facilitated a roofer coming out to verify the condition of the roof free of charge. As we began touring listings, Linden was always fast to get us the information we wanted and great at digging into the home's history to help us look critically at any "fixer-upper" scenarios. After a few weeks of searching, we found the right house in our ideal neighborhood - only to be notified that we were in the middle of a multiple-offer situation. Because we had already prepared the buyer letter with our initial offer (upon Linden's suggestion), the sellers selected our offer. As it turns out, it would have been months before another home came on the market in that particular neighborhood. Working with Long & Foster made the home-buying process seamless and as stress-free as we could have hoped for. Their partnership with Prosperity Home Mortgage and Sage Title makes the process a "one stop shop" kind of experience, with all the expertise needed to answer your questions and address your concerns under one roof. On closing day, we were able to simply walk in during our set time and walk out with the keys in-hand - no running around from bank to office to office. Linden Bentley was more than a realtor for us - she was our advocate and our friend. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
