NextHome Tidewater Realty Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Robin was the right Realtor to hire when it seems like everyone and their brother is an agent these days.

She is highly organized, professional, courteous, and responds quickly to text and emails (and I had many!). Home selling is never straightforward and she always had good advice and a battle plan in her back-pocket when the bumps came. The NextHome systems she uses are modern and easy to use on your phone, which it made it easier for me to sign and approve things away from my computer. Her advertising was spot-on and her pictures and video of the house were beautiful. Robin has the experience I needed to sell a niche home in a city that generally gets a bad wrap - and it sold for full asking price! I was really happy to have her in my corner to get through this process.

Darlene Taylor (Director, Case Management )

Alicia was amazing during the entire process from our first meeting where we met over coffee to discuss the process (this was our first house!

) to the final closing signatures. She was insightful and provided guidance when it was needed and gave us enough space to make our own decisions and take our time as well. We were deciding on a house from abroad which added to the process, but Alicia took it all in stride, accommodating time differences and bad internet connections. It was great working with Alicia and would do so again in the future, but hopefully not too soon!

The decision to sell came at a very complicated time in my life.

From the onset, Robin was the consummate professional. She had the knowledge and steadiness to navigate me through this major transaction from the time she agreed to market my home. She kept me well informed every step of the way, presenting options, and keeping me from getting overwhelmed. I am so grateful I was referred to her and now looking back, would not change a thing if I had to do it again.

Went above and beyond for me. I’m new to the area and had moments of panic, but Albert didn’t get frustrated with me or let me down in any way. He found me a home in an area I really like and I couldn’t be happier. Albert is very responsive and thorough, and when he can’t be available his teammate Alicia is right there by your side. An exceptional experience all the way around.
