After four days on the market...
we received an offer.
"While I was gone on deployment, my wife interviewed several real estate agents to sell our home in Virginia Beach. All were very professional, but she said one agent really impressed her. She felt very comfortable with Will, and he put her at ease with all of her questions about getting ready to sell our house in a down market alone while I was on deployment.
After going over the CMA for our area and looking at recent trends, we decided on a date. Will did a fantastic job putting together a virtual tour of our home that showcased all the features that we thought would be attractive to any future buyers.
After putting our house on the market on a Wednesday, we were getting ready to spend the next several weeks and months wondering and hoping someone would be interested in our house. But after four days on the market and having had several interested people look at the house, we received an offer that matched what we were asking. The process that we thought was going to be long and drawn out, was simple and straightforward.
Will ensured everything went smoothly from the first meeting to the final closing. We have already recommended him to several friends and will definitely use him if we come back to Hampton Roads. Thanks Will!”

We will definitely ask Will to sell our house for us when the time comes.
"We *thought* we knew what we wanted when we moved to Norfolk: a new condo on the water and no lawn to cut. We ended up buying a family home in Larchmont, with a great yard professionally landscaped!
We really didn't know what was most important to us in buying a home until we talked to Will. Part marriage counselor and part investigatory journalist, Will probed our psyches to help us figure out what my husband and I could live with and live without and then helped us find middle ground between us. I don't know about you, but my husband and I did not agree on everything while looking for a house. I really have to thank Will for keeping my husband and I happy with each other and not just the house we ended up buying!
Any questions we had, Will was happy to answer, and in full. Any doubts we had, he got to the bottom of and cleared up. One of the best parts of working with Will was the reassurance that when the time comes to sell again (2-3 years from now when this tour is over), we will be able to. Based on his knowledge of the Hampton Roads market and his knowledge of building construction and renovation, he advised us on which houses would be a good choice to renovate and which ones were money pits.
We will definitely ask Will to sell our house for us when the time comes."

Will sold our home in 4 days!.
"We were extremely pleased with Will Layton’s professional expertise. We needed to sell our house in a short amount of time and it was a buyer’s market. Will sold our house in 4 days! I would highly recommend him if you are looking to sell your home. You will not be disappointed."

He quickly impressed us with his knowledge and professionalism.
"My wife and I were not initially planning to use a realtor to buy our home. We had spoken to a few and no one seemed to really listen to what we wanted. They seemed to be more interested in just selling us something.
But when we met Will while visiting one of his listings, he quickly impressed us with his knowledge and professionalism. We decided to look around a bit with him at some of his home ideas for us. Even before deciding to work with him, he had listened to our desires and reactions and was able to find plenty of homes that were right what we were looking for.
Upon deciding on a house, he made life very easy for us in the closing process. We definitely couldn't have gotten the quality and value in a house and done it so easily ease without him."

We have already recommended Will Layton
to a few people we know ...
"After interviewing several real estate agents, we selected Will Layton to list our house in a down market. He knew the neighborhood and his CMA and estimate of our house's value was right where we expected it to be but we all agreed that our home had some unique qualities that would attract potential buyers.
We listed well above the comps in our neighborhood and had multiple - very good - offers and we accepted a full price contract on our 1958 ranch home after only three days on the market. The virtual tour that Will posted was the best that we had ever seen and many of our good friends and neighbors agreed. His web site generated considerable interest in our home and we are certain that it created a competitive climate that resulted in the full price offer.
We were also impressed with his overall demeanor and presentation style. He does his job while putting people at ease. He was also very responsive to all emails and phone calls. We would highly recommend Will Layton to anyone looking to buy or sell in Hampton Roads."

Will Layton has our highest recommendation...
"We just wanted to take a minute and rave about our real estate agent, Will Layton.
Will eased the typically aggravating process of selling/buying and made it virtually seamless. He was always ten steps ahead, as a simple request would already have been taken care of without even a need to ask. Will relieved every worry and managed to take the guesswork out of each step towards closing. He is assertive and trustworthy and we never once doubted his judgement.
Will Layton's photography/virtual tour and marketing were phenomenal, as we sold our house (with multiple offers) three days after listing it (January 2008)!
Will's client service couldn't be any better; he always made us feel like we were his top priority. We were confident he was truly working for us and invested in our situation.
Will Layton has our highest recommendation and we wouldn't think twice to use him as our agent again in the future...though there shouldn't be a need, as he helped us get our 'perfect' home!"

We had several offers within 10 days...
"I had my house listed with another agent for 10 months with no offers. After listing with Will Layton, we had several offers within 10 days and the house closed within 2 months of listing during the holiday season."

Will Layton comes highly recommended...
"We knew we wanted an older home in an established neighborhood, but were new to the area and didn’t know where to start. On the first day of looking with Will Layton, we found the perfect place to live. He encouraged us to make an offer based on market value, rather than the list price. We closed on our new home for $195,000 less than the original asking price. Will guided us through the entire real estate process and actually made the buying process easy. We even shared a lot of laughs together along the way.
Will Layton comes highly recommended."

I have and will continue to
highly recommend Will Layton
"Moving in itself is a daunting task, but moving across the country to a city you’ve never visited and wanting to find the perfect house is nearly impossible. But Will Layton found us just that—the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood.
As a first time home buyer, I was overwhelmed by the whole experience. I called Will Layton to guide me in the direction where I wanted to be. His vast knowledge of the different communities, schools, and real estate market made this experience a very easy, pleasurable one for me and my family. Within a few days of our first phone call, he had already sent me pictures of houses that were exactly what I was looking for. I could get a hold of him whenever I needed to. And when I contacted him multiple times throughout the day, he always returned my calls and emails promptly and he was always extremely helpful and pleasant. Will Layton was with us every step of the way answering all my questions, and I had a lot! He exceeded all my expectations!
I have and will continue to highly recommend Will Layton to anyone wanting to purchase a house. His knowledge, professionalism, and energy is unsurpassed."

My fiance suggested that I contact Will Layton, and it was the best decision that I ever made.
"Like many people, I had the daunting task of planning a wedding, a honeymoon, and fixing my house in order to sell all at the same time. Unforntunately, it came down to about to about three weeks before my wedding, and I still hadn't even finished re-habbing my house, let alone found a real estate agent to list it. I was resigned to the realization that my soon-to-be husband and I would be carrying two mortgages for quite a while, given the real estate market.
My fiance suggested that I contact Will Layton, and it was the best decision that I ever made. We were eventually able to finish and list the house the day before our wedding. As Will was putting the "For Sale" sign up in front of my house he joked that by the time we got back from our honeymoon, I would have an offer on my house. I smiled, realizing that Will was just trying to make me feel better, but with houses taking six months to sell, I didn't see that dream becoming a reality. True to his word, we had an offer for $5000 over asking priced faxed to us on our honeymoon!
The next time that we use Will Layton to sell our home, I will not laugh when he says that he will sell it in one week or less!"

Will Layton is one of those
extraordinary individuals.
"In this industry I work with a lot of real estate agents, and it is so refreshing when you come across an agent who truly is in the business to help others. Will Layton is one of those extraordinary individuals. He actually listens to his customers and their needs, then assists them in finding and negotiating a contract on their "perfect home". Once under contract, Will does a great job in keeping the transaction moving forward, keeping his clients informed and involved, and ensuring they close on time. I LOVE WORKING WITH WILL LAYTON. HE IS THE BEST!"
