NextHome Coast to Country Real Estate Testimonials

Debbie Martin has demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism and knowledge in working with her as our Realtor. My husband and I bought our first home with the help of Debbie. She made the experience both easy and truly a pleasurable memory we will cherish forever. As 20-somethings just starting out, we lowered our expectations to agree with what we saw as reality- having to buy a home that was a "fixer-upper." Boy, did Debbie exceed in finding us not only a beautiful home, but the home of our dreams and all within our budget! Her local knowledge of the Gloucester area is fantastic. We have lived in Gloucester for a short while and she greatly assisted us in staying within the town we love and call home. She also helped us to transition with tasks such as moving our electricity and getting set up with our mail carrier. Her process expertise is second to none. She understands the ins and outs of the trade and any issues or hiccups that arose, she solved them with ease. In the home-buying process, there is always the potential for issues involving procedures and paperwork. With Debbie, she easily attacked and solved every challenge that came our way. Her responsiveness made us feel both valued and respected. She was easily accessible by text, phone, and email. Every interaction with her was promptly responded to and she calmed any nerves we had about hurdles that existed. We felt very cared for and looked after. Her negotiation skills demonstrated her knowledge in her field. She was able to honestly tell us if the items we requested were within or out of reach and once she requested them, each was granted. Her ability to be candid with us in what we could and could not reasonably get definitely helped us to keep our expectations realistic. We would, without hesitation, highly recommend Debbie to serve any person looking for a home. As I mentioned earlier, as first-time homebuyers, we had such a positive experience that transitioning into homeownership became a joy, rather than a burden. Debbie is both professional and kind, which makes her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a property. She is tenacious and will not stop until her clients are happy. We will use no one but her when we need a new home in a few years, as a result of our family continuing to grow!

He was always available to get us through everything from preparing the house to closing. He went beyond the call of duty.

As a first time homeowner, this was a daunting task, but he made it so easy!

The appraisal issues definitely made things interesting, but we got it done! Thank you for being awesome and all that you did to help get this deal to closing.

She refers you to the best in the business for mortgage, inspection, etc because she really cares. She helps you find a home you will love and makes the process easy and simple. Great for a first-time homebuyer. Will work with Debbie anytime we buy and gladly refer her.

When a property did finally come up she met with us on several visits. She also helped us work through the paperwork, a contract that required multiple revisions and finally, the purchase of the property. She handled all of this while we were 5-plus hours away. The purchase went through with no more than what I saw as usual glitches. Her after-sale attention was even more outstanding, offering recommendations for local builders, remodel contractors, etc. Debbie's commitment to our satisfaction, both before and after the purchase of our new home, has been nothing short of outstanding. We look forward to using Debbie on our next purchase.

I am super grateful for the referral. Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made the selling process extremely easy and almost seamless. My family and I were able to sell our home fast and with a profit that is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you Debbie for your dedicated time and professionalism. We are blessed to have the privilege of working with you. Thank you for all of your time and efforts.

Debbie Martin was AWESOME!! If we needed a water guy she had one there in 10 minutes if I needed a home inspector she had one which we used several times in our search. She is a go getter with vast knowledge in her field. If not for her we would not ever gotten into our home. But the best thing that I most valued about her is ANYTIME I texted her or called her she ALWAYS responded. Thank you so much Debbie we appreciated everthing you did for us!

As I am a primary resident of Florida, Debbie made the entire experience easy from coordinating as many viewings as she could possibly get in when we were in town. And once we settled on a place, she assisted with the coordination of our remote closing seamlessly, right down to the last minute details of the final walk-thru she did for us. She had many references for insurance, inspectors and lenders. Learning about the area from her made this second home choice feel right! Now that we have closed on our second home, we miss the phone calls, facetime, and texting with her, she made us feel welcome to the community.

We were totally comfortable with our transaction and very happy with the outcome. Both my wife and recommend Debbie without reservation

Debbie was great at listening to our needs and wants to help find the perfect first home for our family.

The Best.

She took care of every detail and was very responsive to our calls and text. Her knowledge of the local are was invaluable. If your in the market for a new house or need to sell your current home, we highly recommend Debbie. If we ever decide to sell or buy again , we will definitely turn to Debbie.

She has an impeccable sense of professionalism and knowledge of the areas were we were looking to buy. She was always available when we had questions and definitely went above and beyond in helping us find the perfect land.

As a first time homebuyer, I appreciated Debbie's patience as we looked at a lot of homes until finding the right one. She walked me through the whole buying experience from searching for a home to the closing.

They had so many amazing things to say about her, we decided to use her and forgo the realtor program through our bank. Debbie worked with us on a tight schedule. We had less than a week to find a home during a busy season while traveling in from out of state. Debbie was accommodating to everything we needed had many homes lined up. She is always connecting with people and has a great network. We felt like we were her only clients when she was working with us and after that. Debbie was there for us before, during, and after the process. Ultimately, Debbie ended up getting us an incredible home at low price within 4 days of our search! She was able to negotiate and secure the home verbally in a hot market and had the offer sent over as soon as she went to her office. I can't say enough or how grateful we are that she handled our first home buying purchase. If we used our lender's referral for a realtor we would have received a refund on closing of nearly $1,000.00 BUT we would not have gotten this house and I have absolutely no regrets. Debbie is worth that ten fold. I would highly recommend using her if you have that option!

And the closing on our 100-year-old home in a little more than 90-days is the proof that we made the right one. Charlene's local knowledge and experience were very important in helping us make critical decisions, from the listing price, through contract negotiations. Charlene is always very accessible and responsive; two extremely important professional qualities you want from your realtor. She is a good mediator and helped us resolve some differences when buyer and seller were both pushing hard. We appreciated Charlene's experience with older homes, and we believe that was a key factor in helping us attract potential buyers, especially in a slowing economy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Charlene for your listing realtor, particularly for those who are selling older or unique properties in this area.

She was able to answer all of our questions quickly and honestly. Things that she needed to check on were done in a timely manner and without us needing to remind her. She worked very well with the buyers agent. The photos she took of our home looked excellent. We listed our home for sale 4/20/16 and had a great offer on 4/25/16. Without a doubt, we would call Debbie for any future real estate needs we have!!

He is A+agent. He communicated very well. Anything we needed he took care of very willing. Because of Mike we got first choice fo the place to live. Therefore, we would highly recommend Mike to anyone.

He sold it in just a matter of days! We couldn't be happier!!!

Because of your gift, you are helping to create a positive impact on our students.

She is first of all a full time realtor. Debbie understands how important communication is. Debbie is NOT one of those realtors who takes forever to return calls, emails or text messages. You can usually expect a response within minutes, not hours or days. Even if it is a text message telling you she is in a meeting and she will call you shortly. Debbie knows the market and will give you sound advice with which to make good decisions. So if you are looking for a realtor who is full time, professional, experienced, and an outstanding communicator, you should contact Debbie Martin. You will not be disappointed!

With this being my first home purchase, I was full of questions. Not only was she very knowledgeable, but very patient. She walked me through the process from beginning to end and I always felt she had my interests as her number one priority. Debbie is a wonderful ally to have the real estate

..he went under our house, into the crawl space without prompting, just to check the condition!..I can and will recommend Rodney to anyone searching for their next home!

I got an offer shortly after the only open house, and again, Jeanne helped me negotiate to get to an accepted offer. And finally, she helped me with all the necessary inspections and one or two hiccups along the way to a successful closing. Jeanne has a wealth of experience and knowledge about the local market. I highly recommend her to anyone selling (or buying!) a home in Gloucester county!

When it came time to buy Mike was in touch the entire process making sure we got the deal done. Would highly recommend .

This is OUR award.

You have been knowlegeable in all the processes in selling and buying a home which made the process easier for us. Appreciate everything!

I felt like I was in control and making all the important decisions, while he handled all the details of advertising, photography, and paperwork. He was always available by phone. Frank was very low-key and did not display the aggressiveness sometimes associated with realtors. In all - a great partner.

She’s knowledgeable, quick to respond, practical and well connected. She’s able to cut through the red tape and get things done. We would recommend her to anyone needing an agent!

She helped us find our dream retirement home and was most helpful in making it a smooth transition. She is attentive to all the details required to help a client settle-in a new home, and she goes the extra mile to assure that all business runs smoothly.

Estimate was spot on. House sold in a few days after being listed. Frank kept us informed with all that was necessary to close. Very professional and not pushy and honest. Easy to discuss any issues we may have had. We would recommend Frank to anyone.

We have worked with her for several years and she always works extremely hard to find what we are looking for. I highly recommend her services and can assure you she will provide you the kind of unmatched service you are looking for.

Debbie was available 24/7 and was quick to jump on homes/schedule tours with agents as soon as they were on the market. Not only was she quick with listings as soon as they came on the market, she was also extremely knowledgeable on all things inspection and contract details. She recommended a wonderful home inspector and dug through the details of our offers/contracts so that we got everything we wanted in our home. We highly recommend Debbie Martin for you home-buying needs!

Professional and I would recommend her to other home buyers.

She worked endlessly to find the right home and location that was best for me. Debbie was always available and explained each process with ease. She worked tirelessly on my behalf and her negotiating skills were clearly visible throughout each process. She did an excellent job and far exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell their home.

She went above and beyond with her real estate advice. She listened to our concerns and came up with solutions. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable thru our sale process. She thought of every detail thru the listing, sale and closing of our property. We would not hesitate to use her again for any future real estate needs.

She is a very knowledgeable and professional agent who brings everything shes got to get you the home you want. After months of searching she found us our home and went above and beyond to insure we got what we wanted. I highly recommend this agent if your seeking to buy a home.

The buyers are thrilled with their first home. Hopefully, we can work together again soon.

She gave recommendations on how to improve our house without spending a lot of money. She was quick to come out and take pictures and list our home on the market. Nothing was ever too big or too small for Debbie to take care of! No matter what time of day or even a holiday, Debbie answered our questions and worked diligently to ensure we had an effortless home sale! On the day we moved, Debbie took time out of her day to stop by and say goodbye and also give us a little parting gift. Debbie was pleasant, self-starting, diligent, and reassuring throughout the whole process. I HIGHLY recommend Debbie for your home selling/buying needs!

She made purchasing our first house easy and fun!

He is the nicest, most professional down to earth kind of guy. So happy with the job he did and he has me a customer for life!

When she said she was going to be there or call you she did She is very knowledgeable about everything in selling a home and helped us in every way especially encouragement and kindness . I will highly recommend Nina Watkins to anyone interested in selling or buying a home.

She does exactly what she says when she says she is going to do it. So reliable, straightforward and honest. This was our first home sale and Debbie made it easy as possible for us. We were able to reach out to her at any time and always get a response. I can't say enough good things about Debbie. If you are in the market to sell, contact Debbie.

Anytime I had a question she was available for help day/ night/ weekends.Next Home is very lucky to have her there! She was point on in every aspect. I will definitely talk to her again when I am looking at the real estate market.

She impressed us with her knowledge of home construction and local area things that we might be interested in. She worked very quickly to get us in houses that we were interested in for viewings. Sometimes as quickly as “how soon can you meet me there? I can show it to you right now.” She worked very hard to help find the right house. When it came to making an offer all the way through closing, she took care of everything. Even after closing she checked in with us just to make sure everything was good. Highly recommend Britni Brown!

Twice I have bought property through her and twice I have sold property with her. She is knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and can make some extremely stressful times much less stressful. I am looking forward to using her for one last move! I highly recommend her!

We had tried to sell through another agent without any luck. Debbie took over and got the job done. Her experience, knowledge of Real Estate especially in Gloucester Co and her positive and outgoing personality and attitude all played a part in the listing and selling of our home. At the time, we were out of the area and Debbie kept in close contact with us keeping us up to date on everything going on right up to the closing. We were able to reach her any time and she responded very quickly to our texts, emails, or phone calls. Debbie was excellent to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home.

She assisted me in finding a home for over a year even prior to submitting my loan application. As a first time home buyer, she has assisted and guided me in this process throughout the entire way and made the process easy to understand and navigate. She was always available when I had questions and if not, she got back to me as soon as she could. Charlene communicates well, listens, and supports her clients which was important to me in the decision to buy my first home. I couldn’t have picked a better realtor to work with.

! The best realtor Ive ever dealt with. I highly recommend her. You wont find someone who will work harder for you. She went above and beyond when we had easement issues.

This is our 2nd opportunity to work with Debbie and she guided us each time to ensure that we got what we were looking for. There was a lot of competition for our recent purchase and I honestly don't believe we would have been successful without the above and beyond efforts that Debbie took on our behalf. She kept us informed of any and all changes throughout the process and responded almost immediately to any questions or issues that arose. Anybody seeking to buy or sell a home should consider using Debbie to represent them in the process. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job.

She helped me find the place that suits me perfectly and worked all the challenges to bringing it to close, in spite of the fact that I live in Hawaii, 5000 miles away from Gloucester. She lives up to her promise to help buyers who live out of state. I asked Debbie to also help me sell land that I own and she is on top of that as well. I highly recommend her.

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my very first book. You are the first person from over-seas to let me know THE POWER OF CONNECTION is now global for me! I hope to meet you one day and for now I send you lots of love from down-under.

My son was relocated and I live out of state we listed the property with Debbie before we left. We had a contract within 1 week. With neither myself or my son there, once we got rolling there were repairs and such that had to be done. Debbie was just wonderful she took care of everything we needed to get done. She was wonderful to work with and professional. I would call her again if I needed to sell another property.

We had to sell from out of state and she bridged the gap. Very professional and would recommend her to anyone!

She put my needs first looking out for my best interest and was quick to respond every time I needed her. She goes beyond the extra mile.

From her quick response time to her local knowledge, we truly couldn't have asked for a better agent. We are settling nicely into our new home and have her to thank for such a pleasant home buying experience.

After putting our house on the market with Debbie, our home sold on just two and a half weeks! If you are looking for an agent who gets the job done, then call Debbie! We highly recommend her!

!! Trying to find a house in this market at our price point was most difficult. After running around looking at 12 houses in 9 days , I was about to lose my mind. Nikki had to deal with many phone calls, texts and tears . She said trust me I will find your new home and she did !!!! It was everything on my checklist!! She also saved my marriage lol I had turned into the exorcist. Thank you Nikki West ??

She worked diligently in selling my home and was willing to meet with inspectors and tradesmen on her own time because I now live out of state and was unable to meet appointments. I'm so grateful for all of her hard work and also her compassion for all that I was going through trying to sell a home out of state.

Not only is she a great Realtor she is a wonderful human being! She is very knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy. She has sold 1 house for us and helped us purchase 2 houses. She is very patient - we have put her through alot and looked at a ton of homes. I would highly recommend her.

Fantastic ability to negotiate and great communication. Super impressed with her ability to slow us down and explain situations when we were moving too quickly for our own good. Would absolutely recommend.

Especially since the majority of my home search was conducted via long distance. She took photos, did video walk throughs all while putting up with a somewhat difficult, persistent, picky client. She pulled through for me and found the perfect house. She's very patient, considerate, smart and made the process as swift and easy as possible. Thanks Debbie!

She made the process of selling our home as easy as possible. Her advice was spot on and her energy endless. Her expertise, professionalism, and knowledge are superb.

She communicated effectively and efficiently. She answered emails and text messages with timely responses. She explained transactions and information to the best of her ability. New Life Community Church recommends Charlene Winter for you next property or land purchase.

When other Realtors told us we would never find what we were looking for in our price range, Britni found the one for us. Britni was relentless in the search for us!

Debbie has great experience and made my first time selling easier than I could have hoped for. She makes the experience very pleasant, ensures open communication at all times, and is very personable.

His recommendations when putting in a offer has helped us get our houses not once but twice in the past 5 years!

He went well above and beyond our expectations. Great experience!

Always pleasant to deal with.

You did a wonderful job with all aspects of the acquisition. You stayed on top of all communications with all participants. The entire process went exceedingly well with no disappointments. We highly recommend you. Many thanks...Tom & Norma Gates

She readily responds to my texts, emails, & phone calls. She makes you feel like you are on her team & is advocating for you. I highly recommend her!

She was informative and knowledgeable and walked me through the process of selling my home. She was patient, kind, supportive and provided thorough communication throughout the process. This is the second time I have utilized Lori’s expertise and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!

A consummate professional, detailed and prompt. Once we found our house, Mike walked us through every part of the process.

We were on a tight schedule (PCS move) and she made the process extremely smooth.

Debbie came highly recommended from a high school friend living in the area. Debbie's expertise in the field was amazing, she treated every home we looked at as if she was buying it. She spent about 5 months with us and was very patient. Even after the closing she called to see if there was anything we needed. Debbie is a huge resource for the Gloucester, Williamsburg, Newport News area. From food stores to restaurants to furniture stores to contracters she went above and beyond. You will not go wrong when you call Debbie! Thank you so Much!!! Dan and Robin Kirchner

I am so glad you have joined our little family at Mathews County Visitors and Information Center. I admire how much time you give to the community. You're everywhere now!

I was building homes and he worked with one of my clients. From the very beginning I could see the professional manner he conducted his self and always put the customer at ease with his open way of doing business. We have continued working together all of these years and in this year we have closed homes for two clients with one to go. I strongly recommend Ira to anyone looking to purchase a home. Michael Davenport President Crestmark Custom Builders, Inc Newport News, VA 23603

Whenever, l needed something Britni was always responsive. From day one we connected and during the entire process l felt very comfortable with Britni as my real estate agent. If l had to do it again I would request Britni by name. Thank you.

Fortunately for me, Samantha answered, and I guess you could say the rest is history! She answered my questions and promised to help sell two properties that have been next to impossible to sell. Living over 800 miles from Glouster County, I was totally dependent on Samantha. Last week we closed on one property, and it’s looking promising for the other property to sell. I would highly recommend Samantha as your real estate agent! I’m really looking forward to meeting her in person on my next trip to VA!

My wife and I had owned a couple homes in the past. This was our first new contruction home and she let us know what to expect and very knowledgeable in the process of new construction and the ways of VA loan. She was great at negotiating we were able to to walk to closing with no money and recieved all our ernest money back plus some. She remained positive and optimistic and she made sure people got things done. I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Thank you Debbie.

From start to finish she was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Amy for any real estate sales or purchases. I will use her again!

She went above and beyond at every turn to be helpful and make things easier for us as we are not from her area. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism… she is an outstanding realtor and I cannot thank her enough??

Martin was so awesome to work with. This estate was such a challenge and required much patience and time to see it through. Ms. Martin worked over-time to accommodate our needs, gave us professional advice throughout the process, answered our many questions, and stayed positive when we thought all was lost. We could not have gotten through the sell of the properties without Ms. Martin?s experience and love for helping people. Words cannot really express how much we appreciate having Ms. Martin as our realtor.

She does the homework to help owners decide how to properly price a property for sale. Our home recently sold in two days at full asking price. I give Jeanne my highest recommendation.

Anyone trying to sell undeveloped land in Mathews County right now knows the pain points it's a tough market and very few parcels have sold in the last few years. First, she helped us adjust pricing according to the market. Shortly after listing with her, we had interested buyers who made an offer. Next, various issues arose which needed to be addressed in order to close. Debbie rolled up her sleeves and got to work, helping us address the requirements and concerns with a positive attitude, a sense of humor, incredible perseverance, and toughness when needed. Largely because of her efforts, the sale has now closed and we have ended that chapter in our lives.

Especially since the majority of my home search was conducted via long distance. She took photos, did video walk throughs all while putting up with a somewhat difficult, persistent, picky client. She pulled through for me and found the perfect house. She's very patient, considerate, smart and made the process as swift and easy as possible. Thanks Debbie!

This is my second time working with her and she guides you through the whole process with ease. We have had ups and downs with our buyers and new house sellers but she navigated them perfectly. She is available when you are available and prompt for responses. Rest assured you are in good hands at all times!

She was great through the entire process. She helped us price both homes to sell quickly but get the most out each property. She was there every step of the way, great communication. We will definitely use her again if the opportunity presents itself.

Then be be(B.B) is surely your Lady. I strongly recommend!

Was on top of all details and quick to respond to any issues. Highly competent.

!! She made the selling of our old home and the buying of our new home a great experience. Even though we had some problems come up with our house we were selling she was always there and on top of things to help work them out. Through the whole process she always had our best interest in mind and was always looking out for us. Debbie was not only our realtor but I feel that the time we spent with this process we have made a friendship. We highly recommend her for anyone that is looking to buy or sell their home. She truly is the best ever!! She is there for you and will make you feel like you are her top priority even though she has other client you would never guess that. We love Debbie!!!

She has guided my wife and I through two sales and sold us our last home. She is always tuned into the real estate market. Her customer service is exceptional and she is always attentive. I recommend her all the time.
