Best Real Estate Agent! Not really, but I do care very much about every client and friend…..read on:

When we became serious about buying a house in the Hampton Roads real estate area, I really wanted to work with a top notch real estate agent. This was our
first home buying experience, and since so much of the process was new and strange to us we were very dependent on an agent that really knew the ropes.

We had met with two other agents before finding Dennis, but neither were a good match for us. Our purchase was further complicated by the fact that we were two years into a five year Chapter 13 Bankruptcy plan. This meant that even though we had gotten pre-approval from the bank for a mortgage , it was meaningless until the bankruptcy court granted it’s approval. In short, we had a contract but still needed the court’s approval.

So on top of all the usual difficulties faced in real estate purchases, we also needed an agent that could help us negotiate a good deal with a seller in spite of us being such a risky buyer.

A Chesapeake real estate agent that was a super star wasn’t enough, what we really needed was a super hero!

With Dennis’s help we found a beautiful house on a quiet country road in Chespeake, and the seller accepted our offer over an equal offer from another buyer even with the risk that the bankrupty court might deny our loan.

We had several complications from the time the offer was accepted until the date of closing, but throughout the entire process Dennis was so easy to communicate with. He was great at keeping things brief and to the point, lots of times just texting my phone to keep me updated on progress.

Now We’ve been living in our new home for two months, and totally love it!

The neighborhood is exactly the kind of place we wanted to raise our family.

Dennis certainly earned the title of super hero, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Agent’s note: My special thanks to Sharon Lumpkin of Century Realty and the seller for making these homeowner’s dream come true.

My wife and I feel very fortunate to have worked with Mr. Dennis Blackmore of Avalar Realty. Dennis and I have known each other through the soccer community for a number of years…thus, he was a natural choice when we were looking to sell one of our condominiums and purchase a home for our family.

At each step in the process, Dennis was an incredible resource. He is most certainly a “full service” agent. From the initial listing to the closing of the sale, Dennis was a true professional. His contacts and resources as we moved through the process were invaluable.

As we closed the sale of one and started the process of searching for a new home, again, Dennis was a terrific asset. He worked with us to identify our priorities in a home and patiently listened to us as we visited home after home. Dennis helped us ask the critical questions as we met with other agents and homeowners.

When we found the ideal place for our family, Dennis served as guide through the closing process.

Throughout the time we worked together, he was accessible by phone, email, and in person. While I am certain that he had a number of other clients, he gave us the sense that we were his most important ones! In fact, Dennis even bought us a flat-screen high-definition television as “thank you” gift for our business…amazing! I feel certain that he provides this level of customer service for all those he works to assist.

We could not be more pleased with the work of Dennis Blackmore. He is a true professional and has our highest recommendation. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information or additional details (757-581-2387 or danielkeever@yahoo.com).

We give Dennis Blackmore our highest recommendation as a Virginia Beach real estate buyer’s agent.

We recently purchased a home in Courthouse Estates (Virginia Beach, VA) through Dennis. We had only two days to select our house from many available homes for sale.

Dennis listened carefully to our criteria and came prepared with a list of homes that fit our needs. The contract negotiations were at times tense due to the seller’s expectation of a high price for the home.

Dennis’ expert negotiating and communication skills helped secure a home that we love at a price that we are comfortable with.

Because we were not living in Virginia Beach at the time of the home purchase, Dennis helped us coordinate and was present at all of the necessary inspections. We simply could not have done this without his help!

I have recommended Dennis to our friends, and I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wishes to purchase real estate in Virginia Beach.

His attention to detail and willingness to go beyond our level of expectation will make the Virginia Beach home buying process much easier.

I wanted to thank you again so much for all of your hard work in making this deal on our home work. I know that it was not easy with the current buyer’s market, dealing with stubborn sellers.

Thanks for helping us get everything we wanted in the deal!

Sincerely,

LCDR Michael Chucran and Jennifer Chucran

I recently utilized Mr. Blackmore’s services in selling purchasing my a new home. His extensive knowledge of the housing market coupled with a keen ability to follow-through on even the smallest details left me feeling extremely satisfied. I can say without a doubt that in any future transactions Mr. Blackmore’s services will be the route I go! A true expert who cares about the client, something not often found in today’s “dog eat dog” world.

My husband and I were first time home buyers and scared of the whole concept but having Dennis in our corner and not putting pressure on us to take the first thing we looked at was just what we needed. Dennis gave up his Sunday afternoons to take us around since my husband worked on Saturday and all week we did have much time other than Sunday. We enjoyed spending those Sunday looking at houses and talking about what was right for us and Dennis really listened and took good care of us. I am happy to say we found the perfect first home in Suffolk VA and when it’s time to move to a bigger home Dennis will be the first one we call to help sell our house. I would recommend Dennis to anyone and have. We give Thanks to Dennis and his family for the time he spent with us and the friendship that we have developed.

I enlisted Dennis Blackmore’s expertise in finding my dream home. Being a Virginia Beach School Teacher, it was important that I get the maximum “bang” for my dollar. Not only did Dennis promptly alert me the instant a property became available, he was always ready to accommodate my schedule to view properties. Also, being a competitive, multi-contract market, he crafted a great offer that made me stand-out among the others and ensured I came out on top. I cannot express the gratitude and hard work that Dennis did for me and would unhesitatingly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate.

I was completely naive regarding the buying process. I needed someone I could trust and have confidence that they were looking out for my best interests. Dennis Blackmore and his team of mortgage and insurance professionals were unbelievable. I am so happy with my new home and know I can call on Dennis at any time for real estate questions.
