What clients say about this agent....
Jonathan super helpful from start to finish going over and above to make sure he advised me well and quarterbacked the process to make sure nothing was forgotten and that we closed on time!
Tanya was awesome. She was on it with everything that I needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new home. She has no problem putting in the work and long hours to get you what you are looking for. Definitely the best real estate agent I've ever worked with.
Nadine was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. She was an advocate for us from start to finish. I really felt like she had our best interests in mind during our home search. She wasn't afraid to tell us to walk away from a purchase if she didn't think the home was right for us. She had a real talent for sniffing out problems with a property and alerting us to the potential cost of repairs needed. She made us feel like family and we're so lucky to have been able to work with her and get to know her!
Ronald was incredibly fantastic in selling my nieces house for us. He definitely went the extra mile in that he did an estate sale for us because she is in a nursing home. He spent several days cleaning out the house, throwing out garbage and organizing everything and then spent 3 weekends selling everything. He is a great negotiator and got us considerably more than we asked for. Highly recommend him.
I had an great experience with Melissa she was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Melissa made the process of buying/selling my home easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Melissa. Thank you for your hard work! :)
Melissa is great!! She definitely is an expert in looking for the pros and cons of a hone. She does not make you feel pressured of buying a home if you don't even want to entertain it. If she wouldn't want to buy it she will let you know and have your best interest. She got my family a house a month after meeting her. She is relentless in her pursuit and makes the home buying experience worth it. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in Hampton roads.
Ian was very helpful throughout the entire process. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to find out answers to questions that he did not immediately know.
Lance did more than an outstanding job when working with me on selling my home. There were multiple things that needed attention prior to putting my house on the market and Lance did not hesitate to roll up his sleeves and jump right in to help me get it all done, he even came out on the weekend to help me out. His knowledge and willingness to answer any question I had no matter how minor or extreme was unmatched. I can honestly say that I will never use another realtor other than Lance Van Auken.
Cant recommend Lance enough. He helped us from start to finish (and after) the purchase of our home. He gave me truly honest opinions on multiple homes- he could have tried to sell us on the first house we were interested in, but he was honest and helped us to choose the right home for our family. He is a family man himself, ex military (so helpful that he knows the ins and outs of that since we are a military family as well) he would even converse with his wife (she knows some areas better from childhood) and his coworkers to get their opinions on school districts for us before we looked at certain areas, which was incredibly helpful since we are out of state buyers. He was the most personable, honest, helpful real estate agent Ive ever met. He checked in on us regularly, and even called us to make sure everything was in order while we were making an offer on our house from the hospital after he was in a bad accident! He has helped us through so much, and all of the people and companies he linked us up with have been exceptional. He really recommends small businesses, which is awesome. Hes even checking on our property and overseeing a company come out to put in our fence for us, and offered to oversee a security system installation- which he absolutely did not have to do. Lance has been truly an answered prayer to us and a total God send! I will be reaching out to him again when its our time to sell, and would recommend him to anyone!
I reached out to Lance to sell my house. He met with my wife and I and discussed the whole process, making sure we fully understood everything. He helped set up an inspection of the house and got me in contact with a contractor who could help do some of the work. On the work I did myself Lance offered to come by and give me a hand to get the house ready to put on the market, which I happily accepted. The over all selling process went as smoothly as possible on our end with his help. The buyer and their realtor gave us some headaches but he did the best to keep us in the loop and handle the headaches without getting us involved. As we were selling our house Lance also helped us find a new place to live. We looked at countless houses in the search and he made the process as smooth as possible with everything going on. During our search Lance made sure to bring up any concerns he had for any of the houses to make sure we made informed decisions which was very helpful. When we found our new home he helped coordinate and get everything together with a lender. With his help we were able to get a 2 month rent buy back worked into the contract on the house we were selling to ensure we weren't homeless after we sold and before we closed on our new house. We luckily ended up closing on the selling of our old house a week before we closed on our new house. When we're moving Lance helped move stuff in his own vehical to assist us in the move. Overall Lance was great to work with and truthfully we will work with him again when we go through the process again. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and is able to find you help with any home repairs you need. If you need to sell your home or looking to buy definitely reach out to Lance, he won't steer you wrong.
