What People Are Saying About Us

Jennie was awesome!

We moved to Virginia Beach all the way from California, and couldn't have done it without such a great team working for us. Very responsive, always reachable, and did a great job helping us through this journey. She even had some great recommendations for shops around town for us.

Thank you Jennie for your hard work!

I worked with Jennie via email and phone calls to find us a house. She was helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help my family move from Ca to Va! I would highly recommend her!

Both Jennie and Jeremy made me feel extremely comfortable during my first home buying experience.

I was nervous going into the process, especially in this market! With their fast, informative and reassuring responses the process went entirely opposite of how I was afraid it would go. I ask a ton of questions and each one was answered! I’m very pleased and happy with my home purchase and couldn’t have done it without them!

If I even think about buying more property in Hampton Roads, Jeremy's number will be the first one I call.

I contacted Jeremy looking to buy my first income property in the area because a trusted friend highly recommended him. In only a few short weeks, he managed to find me EXACTLY the type of property I was looking for at a competitive price. I am convinced that without his deep knowledge of the local real estate market, his decades of experience and the positive relationships he's built, this purchase never would have happened for me.

Jeremy is amazing!! It was my fiancé and I's first time buying a home, and Jeremy was there from the beginning to the end with outstanding knowledge, and professionalism.

He walked us through every step of the home buying process. He was there to answer all our questions, no matter how silly we thought it was. Jeremy really went above and beyond for us. We will be going back to him when it's time to upgrade our home in the future. I highly recommend Jeremy for your realtor needs in Virginia Beach!

Jeremy is an excellent realtor!

He was professional and conscientious throughout our home buying process. He provided excellent communication and was quick to answer any questions we had. Additionally, as a Virginia Beach native, Jeremy provided great personal insight and recommendations for exactly what we were looking for.

19 offers in less than 48 hours has to be some sort of record.

This alone, speaks volumes of Jeremy's professionalism and dedication to his trade. This was our first home sale and the entire experience couldn’t have been any smoother and without issues. He steered us in the proper direction when reviewing the offers in front of us. Thank you Jeremy for your support in making our home selling process and way one. Kudos to you and the Long & Foster team.
