Client Stories: Buying
Retiree repeat clients buy chic condo
"Meet Bob and Kathy (above). I helped them sell their home so they could move down south. Fast forward 8 years, they have decided to move back to the Yorktown area to be closer to their kids and grandkids! There was one neighborhood in particular they knew they wanted to move to. We watched it closely for a few years, and finally, the perfect unit came on the market! It's a gorgeous, renovated condo that has sweeping views of the James River. I am so excited for this family! I just love what I do! Thank you for trusting me, Bob and Kathy!" - Ashley
Single buyer beats
6 offers without ever setting foot in the house
"This isn’t your typical closing photo, but I work with plenty of out of state buyers who sometimes never see the house in person before they close! Kristin was a referral from a past client of mine whose home I sold several years ago. She is moving to Yorktown for work, and after multiple failed trips to town to find the right home and feeling discouraged, we finally found the one! It popped on the market at the right time, and we beat out 6 other offers! I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason.
I’m so thankful for my current and past clients who refer me to their friends and family! Kristin, I’m so excited for you as you embark on this new adventure!"

Doctor & teacher become first-time homeowners
"I absolutely LOVED working with the Clanton family! We met because a past client put us in touch. Cariana was finishing up her residency as a family medicine doctor, and Keyon was a devoted middle school teacher who had just earned his master's degree. These Hampton Roads natives were transferring back to the area for new jobs and were excited to purchase their first home.
Cariana comes from a big family—many of whom still live here —and she now can host family gatherings. The Clantons' new house has a huge family room addition that's perfect for entertaining, plus a great backyard for their young daughter." - Ashley
Military officer & marketing professional purchase investment property
"After considering the idea for years, Melissa and Derek were on the lookout for a fixer-upper that they could remodel and rent out. I had suggested several neighborhoods in Newport News that I knew had a great ROI. The first place where their offer was accepted fit the numbers game well, but when my excellent home inspection company found that the seller had slapped new shingles onto an old roof and discovered mold in a closet, I advised them to walk away from the deal. They thanked me profusely when the next place ended up being a winner. Not only did they start earning cash flow from the first month renters were in, but the property doubled in value over the next five years.
Melissa posted this photo on closing day, writing, 'We are now the proud owners of a fixer-upper investment property! Thank you to our amazing Realtor, Ashley Clevenger, for working so hard and making it such a pleasant experience for us, even when there was not a huge commission in it for her, LOL. Thank you also to Ashley for the lovely card and bottle of bubbly.' I love helping investors experience the rewards of finding the right place." - Ashley
Young family snags dream home for below appraised value
"I am so excited for this family! Eric and Anne were newer to the Williamsburg area and had been renting a home this year so they could take some extra time to decide where exactly they wanted to land. The market here for buyers was super competitive in their price range—but we were able to beat out multiple offers AND purchase the home for well under appraised value.
This house is in their dream neighborhood and has all the space they need. They have an adorable 3-year-old daughter, who always has big hugs for me every time I see her. Finding a home in a neighborhood where their daughter would be able to play and make friends to grow up with was so important to them. This house is SO PERFECT—it's at the end of a cul-de-sac and has an amazing fenced backyard. They already have the perfect place for a swing set.
One of my favorite parts of real estate is finding the absolute perfect house. The one that checks (almost) every single box, and everyone is so happy at the closing table. I love being a part of helping my clients find a home to raise their family in!"
