An excellent rating is what Wes Atiyeh deserves. He responded promptly to our initial inquiry and provided comprehensive marketing of our property including a drone video (28 acre rural property) as well as the usual pictures and video of our home. Wes quickly responded to our email and text messages, provided helpful advice throughout the marketing and contract vetting process and provided encouraging "hand-holding" when needed. The contractor contacts he had were very helpful in arranging for some home maintenance and repair we needed to complete. Wes was a friendly and knowledgeable Realtor and we enjoyed working with him. Wes Atiyeh clearly provides excellent service.
Spike and I met George when we started our Virginia house hunt. George worked very hard to find us our dream house, and he did. I had many must haves for the house but with his hard work, many miles traveled and humor we were able to fine our dream house. We enjoyed our travel time together which made the experience much less stressful. Along the way George helped us learn more about this area of Virginia since we are transplants from Connecticut. George is a very good real estate agent and a pleasure to work with.
My wife and I recently moved from North Carolina to Williamsburg, Virginia, and to help in our house search we contacted George Foreman of Joyner Fine Properties. Some years ago, I was George's chemistry teacher and tennis coach at St. Christopher's School in Richmond. He was an excellent student and an exceptional tennis player, going on to play tennis for William & Mary -- #1 doubles and #2 singles his senior year. We knew that George was a Realtor in Richmond, but we did not realize that he also represents clients in Williamsburg. When we learned that, we knew we wanted him to represent us. We have always known George to be a person of outstanding character and integrity who always displays class and sportsmanship. Simply put, George is an accomplished, responsible, and caring person, and we knew he would carry these traits into his work as a Realtor. We were right. My wife and I anticipated spending several months and making multiple trips to Williamsburg before we either selected a lot and home builder or found the right home. As soon as we told George what we were looking for in a home, he began sending us information about lots and listings for houses that met our criteria. He even made several trips to Williamsburg to videotape homes that had caught our eye. In large part due to George's hard work, what we thought would be a long, drawn out search took only one visit to Williamsburg. Our first afternoon in Williamsburg, George showed us what we immediately recognized to be our ideal home. The next day, he guided us through the offer process and, although ours was not the only offer the sellers received, ours is the one they accepted. Then came the numerous details that preceded the closing. This was only our second house purchase, so we brought mostly ignorance and questions to the process. Throughout, George responded promptly and ably to our every concern, showing commendable patience as he attended to every detail and made sure that we stayed informed and on track. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, diligent, and gifted Realtor to help you find your new home, my wife and I highly recommend George Forman.
I was so lucky to have connected with George! The experience of buying my first home - though not what I had always imagined it would be - was made easy, and altogether wonderful with George as my Realtor. He is kind and eager to do right by a client. In the time I was privileged to work with him, he took absolute care in his work, and always made sure I understood and felt a part of the process. I am happily enjoying my new home - thanks, George for the fresh start!
Going through the process of buying a house is arduous, to say the least! However, working with George caused this to be much more bearable: He made himself available to us (my daughter and I) even while on a trip to the West Coast, always responding to emails or phone calls in under 24 hours, never leaving us hanging, answering even the most ridiculous questions. In our case, a rather unique flood zone question arose, and George went so far as to contact a County engineer in order to get the answer for us. I would say that this action is definitely a case of going "over and beyond" with respect to customer service. I will recommend George Foreman to anyone searching for an excellent realtor.
Although it was a three-way tie, we will attest that Wayne Gauthier is THE BEST Real Estate Agent in Richmond!! Hands Down! Best Real-Estate Agent 2012 Richmond Magazine!!
Congrats to Wayne Gauthier for being voted as one of the best Realtors in the region by Richmond Magazine. I would recommend working with Wayne to anyone looking for a house in the Richmond area. He makes home buying fun and is incredibly well informed!
Wayne, I wanted to take just a moment to send you a formal "thank you" for all you help, assistance, expertise and counseling. I knew when John and Stacey recommended you that I would be pleased but you exceeded Erik and my expectations on both sale and purchase. Your analysis helped us establish the perfect pricing strategy that sold our home in less than a week with multiple offers. You worked diligently during the negotiations to secure maximum value for us. You also arranged enough time to find a new residence. You went above and beyond in helping us get the home past inspection including the infamous "power washing." You were very patient with us in finding the right home in the Fan. It took multiple showings and moving quickly when I suitable home was found. You also had great expertise on the right neighborhoods in the Fan that were desirable and not transient. Another noteworthy item is that once the sales were completed you did not disappear. You continue to help us and provide service. Obviously we will be recommending you to others and know you will continue to be very successful. Please forward this email to anyone who needs references or your superiors. With respect and thanks, Mark Becker & Erik Deleon
Wayne helped my husband and I buy our very first home! I was a very picky buyer and he was patient the whole way through and ended up helping us get the perfect first home for us. He and his daughter Austin, also helped us sell that very first home. And fast, I should say! That can be attributed to the work they put in making sure our listing looked like a show home. Can't say enough positive things about the services we received in our first home buying and selling experience.
Thanks so much to Wayne and Austin for guiding us through our most recent home purchase. Working with this professional team has been an absolute pleasure! They were always available when we needed showings or advice and remained positive and enthusiastic throughout the process. Their collective experience and great senses of humor actually made the process a smooth and enjoyable one! Thanks again Gauthiers!
