"Military family. I first met Mister Darren at an open house, and he was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I told him that we were in the market to buy if we received orders to stay in Virginia Beach. He had perspective properties lined up for us to look at as soon as we received the official word that we were staying in VB. I can’t tell you how much precious time that he saved us during work-ups before a 7 month deployment. He knew we were on a short timeline, from start to finish 30 days. Probably something he would not like advertised, but if the circumstances dictate, he will do whatever it takes for you. He would always pick up the phone, drop whatever he was doing, and adjust his entire day to help us out. He even offered to help us move. He brought us gelato a month after the sale as a house warming present. He still keeps in contact to this day, and has truly become a friend. I assure you that you will not find another Realtor better than Mister Darren! "

"Greg Covington is an AWESOME realtor & property manager. He is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and what properties are available and what price point we should buy & sell at. We’ve used Mr. Covington to buy our house & now sell it and the process both times were seamless. If you need a realtor please use Greg Covington and his team. They are truly amazing!"

"I have been working with Mr. Covington for over 14 years now. From the very first interaction, which was when I purchased my first home; until now, as my property manager, he has consistently been awesome!! I am active duty military, and have not had to worry about any of the affairs concerning my home. He not only has top notch professionalism and concern for his customers; but, his wealth of knowledge and broad spectrum network makes him unmatched as a real-estate agent. I wish that I could utilize him as I move throughout the nation."

"My husband and I worked with Lance while he was still very new and training with another great seasoned realtor. Even as a new professional, Lance was exceptionally knowledgeable. What was more impressive was his responsiveness, kindness, and patience. Lance listened to our wish list and took our worries and concerns throughout the process seriously. The house we purchased with Lance’s guidance was my second, and my husband’s first. I would recommend Lance to anyone, but most specifically he would be wonderful for 1st time buyers who may need a little more information before buying."

"This has been the best experience we have had with a real estate agent. He was very attentive to our needs and very responsive. He went above and beyond what we expected and he got our house sold in less than 45 days. He was very detailed in all areas and knew how to prepare and market your home to sell it fast. Would highly recommend Josh Baker for your real estate needs."

"In a word EXELLENT! My friends and family told me that my first home purchase was going to be a bumpy ride, so I was told to "get ready." From my first phone call to the final signature I have to say that I have NO idea why my parent's closing was so troublesome. The staff at the Virginia Beach office did such an amazing job! All our questions were answered and I knew exactly what to expect for my closing. Patricia, Jarett and Joe took such wonderful care of my wife and I and I am so happy we closed with the team at Shaffer Title, Virginia Beach! When we decide to move up to a bigger house, we are going back to them! Thank you for being so wonderful!!! Phil Virginia Beach, VA"

"Joe was such a pleasure to work with! I had a good friend recommend him, and I found another good recommendation for him through another person. He listened to what I was interested in. Although I was about an hour away, he made sure to make time to check out homes I was interested in. He engaged with my family and helped them enjoy the process as well. He did his research on the houses we visited, he made sure to check everything out thoroughly, and he kept me well informed on the offers we put in. I bought the perfect house all thanks to him! Joe made sure to answer any questions I had, explained very well all the steps ahead of time so I knew what I was getting into with purchasing my first home, and gave me great tips and recommendations along the way. I'm so grateful for his expertise! I highly recommend working with him!"

"I cannot say enough about Greg’s service. Not only does he have top of the line business acumen, but he is also very experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. Another very important characteristic of a realtor is being assertive with all aspects of the sale of the property, and Greg did that wonderfully. He treated the sale of my house as if it were his own. There is no one else I would’ve chosen to work with. Explanation: From the start, my husband and I were (in my mind) difficult clients. We live several states away, so he essentially became our power of attorney and acted on our behalf for several decisions. The second and hardest way this was a difficult sale is because when Greg evaluated our property we discovered the house was in a dilapidated state. He and John, his project manager, worked tirelessly to remodel the house. They practically built us a brand new house! I never knew our house could look like a Parade of Homes house, but they did it. Their arduous labo"

"Lisa helped us buy our house when we lived out of state. Lisa did all the leg work and paper work for us. We communicated by phone , e-mail and us mail. When we finally were able to move she was waiting at the house for us and made sure the water was turned on and ever thing worked. Lisa went above and beyond and saved us a lot of stress. Lisa is very professional, kind and sweet. I would highly recommend her and her staff."
