" Melinda was easily the most upfront and honest realtor I've ever dealt with. From the word go she assisted me in everyway possible with not only the finding of my soon to be new property and home in Moyock, NC but also in the selling of my house in Virginia Beach. She got my house viewed, offered on and accepted in just over two weeks. She was very communicative and always kept me abreast of every situation (and there were many) and we spoke on almost a daily basis. I will be recommending her to anyone I know looking for a realtor for any reason! "

She was there morning and night to answer any questions we had and to help us every step of the way, we are so happy we chose her to sell our home .

" After years of being an out of state landlord, we decided it was time to put our house on the market. Robin visited the house shortly after I contacted her and gave us some suggestions on repairs and an asking price prior to putting it on the market. The house went on the market on a Saturday and was under contract by that Monday. I would highly recommend Robin and her team to buy or sell a home in the tidewater area. We felt like all of our needs were met and the whole process, especially being out of state, could not have been easier. "

" Ms. Dever Clevinger has been an outstanding agent for both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new condo. Dever started this process in June of last year while we were trying to identify the things that needed to be done for the successful sale of our home of the last 18 years. Throughout this process she answered every call and took the time to advise us about repairs and improvement that would help make this transition successful. Whenever we were challenged to find the resources we needed, Dever took the time to provide us with recommendations that allowed us to complete the preparation for the sale of our home. While this was happening, she also stayed engaged in finding us our future home. For over 6 months Dever was finding new places to look at while we communicated our ever-changing ideas. With a very optimistic and upbeat personality Dever never lost faith that she would find us a new home and she did. From listing to getting an offer within 30 days on the sale of our house and 30 more days to zero in on our new home. Dever was an absolute pleasure to work with, always available and she met all our expectations. We would and have recommended Ms. Clevinger to our friends & family for their real estate needs. We think of her as family. "

Our saving Grace here is how Melinda acted so quickly, put us where we were the very first people to look at this home.

She advise us to be proactive in making some changes in our offer prior to the seller receiving all of the other offers. Again, Her expertise was right on. Her dedication goes beyond finding your dream home, for once we were told the home was ours, she stays with you all the way to closing.

" When I first called Robin I was a little hesitant. People always warn you about bad realtors just wanting to make some money and being shady. This wasn’t true for Robin. When I met her she had a colored streak in her hair and drove a tiny blue VW bug that had “listed” on her license plate. Her sense of humor but me at ease. Since working with her, she was always very professional and up front with me. She gave me her honest input and recommendations that never left me uncomfortable in my decision. She was so great with helping my family and I buy a home, that we used her again to sell it 3 years later. My wife and I are so grateful of Robin. She really did make our buying/selling very easy. If the military sends us back to VA, we know who we are calling. "

" After meeting with Dever and explaining what we were looking for in a house, she hit the ground running. She made all the arrangements to view homes that she knew we could be interested in. Dever also was able to keep us both up to date, since my husband was already in North Carolina and I was still in New York helping my mom through chemo, it was no easy task. She listened to both our needs and happily accommodated! Dever is a self-starter and hard worker. She is very personable and considerate. She is quick to respond to any questions or concerns that you may have. We would recommend Dever to any person who is looking for a real estate agent. We do not say that lightly because we believe that whoever you recommend is also a reflection on you; therefore we would never recommend someone who we have any doubt would not follow through. And that’s why we have absolutely no reservations on recommending Dever because we KNOW she will work hard, listen to your needs and make it happen! She is a breath of fresh air! "

Her professionalism, expertise, and due diligence enabled us to find our next FOREVER HOME. We can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us. Many thanks Melinda!!!! "

Not only is she extremely professional, she's also just a really nice person. We'd recommend her to anyone, anytime. "

" We had the pleasure of working with Robin over the past few months. Right as the housing market decided to go crazy, she was the calm to the storm and made us feel completely at ease during the process. We were living abroad, but it felt as though we were personally walking through every home we virtually toured while thousands of miles away. Robin was prompt, thorough, and always provided us thoughtful responses to our questions and concerns. In the end, we were able to secure a phenomenal home in a wonderful neighborhood and we couldn’t be more pleased. Even though we were halfway around the world, Robin made us feel like we had a friend long before we arrived. We can’t recommend her enough! "

- D and T Carter (Military Officer)

" Debbie was so wonderful to work with and I always felt like it was always a team effort! In the beginning she provided lots of data and past histories for pricing the house but I never felt pressured...in fact we randomly came up with almost the same selling price. Along the way there were several bumps in the road from small, little things but Debbie remained always the consummate professional and was my voice of reason and my go to for win-win situations. We had an offer in 2 days but lost the offer for unforeseen reasons. Debbie remained calm and reassured me we would have another offer in no time. Sure enough, we had 2 offers the week it went back on the market. I can not say enough great things about Debbie but I can say with clarity and great confidence that she is a true treasure and a gem to work with and I hope I am able to send her as much business as possible. I highly recommend working with this talented, fun and energetic Real Estate Professional. "

" Melinda was fantastic when it came to our first-time home buyer frenzy. Being a military family, we had to look at homes from afar first, and Melinda jumped right in and gave us home viewings via video call. We appreciated her honesty about properties as they pertained to our wants and needs for a home. When it comes time to move, Melinda is on our speed dial! "

- Chad Wade (Home owner)

" We listed our home in the Great Bridge area with Robin after having it on the market previously and receiving very few showings. Robin's initial assessment provided us with a list of changes we needed to make before putting the house back on the market. We followed her advice and made the suggested changes, listed the house on a Monday and had a contract by that Thursday. She is a knowledgeable professional who provided us with critical feedback that created a quick sale. If you are looking for a realtor to sell your home, we highly recommend Robin Gauthier! "

" Dever represented my wife and I when we bough our first home. She was very flexible when showing us many... (MANY) properties. Dever always had a great selection of houses lined up to see in the areas we were looking. She had valuable input that was offered but she balanced this well by ultimately letting us form our own opinions. Whenever we needed anything she was very responsive and prompt for appointments while being super polite with any interactions; email, calls etc. She was instrumental in helping us through the home buying process from start to finish, pre-loan approval, offer, acceptance the whole thing! It was like having an excellent YouTube tutorial or the a guide book with us at all times. She will definitely be representing us for our next real estate venture. 10/10 would recommend. "
