"My husband Rich Garcia and I worked with Laura Chapman for the 3rd time
last year to sell an unusual home in Newport News, and find a new one
in Williamsburg. It was a very hectic time for both of us, as I was
changing jobs and he was extremely busy with his own work projects.
It has been just over a year in our new home, and since things have
quieted down I realize I have been remiss in forwarding on to you my
thoughts about Laura's service as our agent.
First: She was absolutely 100% available to answer our questions and
work through our anxieties about the selling and buying process (weekends,
nights- whenever!)
Second: We had a very unique, older home to sell
at a time when the market was just starting to become difficult AND
with a buyer that became very challenging as well. Laura was a relentless
negotiator on our behalf and allowed us to walk away with a great deal
while protecting our interests as the sellers.
Third: She took the
time to get to know us, and therefore was able to conceptualize what
we were looking for quickly and efficiently. Laura was able to again
negotiate a fantastic deal and a quick move-in. The result is that
we are now in a home and a location that we absolutely love!
Fourth: Months later after move-in, she continued to check in on us
and see how we were doing. This type of follow-through has been so
appreciated and has kept her in our minds for any future referrals.
Due to the nature of our jobs and lifestyle, we move frequently.
We will, without hesitation call upon Laura for a 4th time to work
with us on our next sale and purchase when the time comes. In the meantime,
I hope that you are aware of what an excellent and professional agent
you have in your employ, and that William E. Wood will always have
our business and referrals as a result of her hard work".
Sincerely, Anna R. Bennett & Richard J. Garcia
"I
recently completed the sale of my home in James City County with your
office as the listing agent. First I would like to say that every one
in your office that I dealt with was professional, courteous, and very
helpful. Though the real reason I am even taking time to write this
is because of the excellent job Laura Chapman did. Like many real estate
transactions there were challenges, home repairs, inspections, flaky
buyers, neurotic seller (me),etc, Throughout the whole process there
was one thing that was consistent and that was Laura's positive and
professional attitude. Every time something came up that presented
a challenge or problem she had the answer and I really do mean every
time. When I called her with a question or concern and she wasn't available
my call was always returned in a timely manor. The first time I met
with Laura to discuss my listing I told her an amount that I would
like to net from the sale that was not only met but exceeded. I cannot
say enough nice things about the job she did and the way she represented
me during the transaction. I was very fortunate she was my agent".

"To
us you were the perfect Realtor®. You gave us sound advice, you
communicated splendidly, and you worked untold hours on our behalf.
Many thanks..." - Hubert & Janet Horan
Laura
was exceptionally accessible, polite, and tenacious in seeing that
our deal went through smoothly. We chose to sell our home ourselves,
and even though it was a FSBO, Laura extended her advice in several
situations to ensure no problems on the selling end. We greatly appreciate
her willingness to go the extra mile on numerous occasions, including
personal delivery of contracts, meeting at oddball hours, and more. – Anna
R. Bennet
I
thank Laura for all of her many extra services when I was unable
to take an active part in closing on my house. She went far beyond
what one would expect. – Bette Crossen
Laura
was up front, knowledgeable, attentive and high energy! The amazing
thing is that none of these qualities ever diminished, from start
to closing. She made a stressful time and business affair FUN! We
would recommend Laura to anyone - she is DYNAMO! - Peter and
Tina Kopfer
Laura
handled everything in a very professional manner and always kept
us informed throughout the process. She went beyond the call of duty
in performing some of the tasks that she didn't have to do in order
to make the transaction close sooner. We are very grateful to her
for all she has done. - Richard M. Bing
Laura
promptly and thoroughly addressed several difficult situations, and
she was a pleasure to work with throughout. Many agents in such situations
would have become flustered and angry. She is most professional and
undoubtedly a credit to her company. - Agnew Swynford III
