We cannot put into words...
Dr. David & Carolyn H. US Navy Dear Ms. Ermen (Manager), We are writing you to let you know of our appreciation for the outstanding job that Charlie Laurens did in the recent sale of our house in Chesapeake. From the beginning he was friendly, cooperative, extremely hard working and conscientious in all matters. He aggressively marketed our house, provided prompt buyer updates, and responded to our questions in a timely fashion. As out of town sellers of a rental property, Charlie did everything that one could ask of an agent. He preserved in the face of very a very difficult situation. In spite of these aggravations, he quickly and fairly arranged for all repairs to be done in a timely fashion. We cannot put into words our satisfaction with Charlie Laurens and would gladly recommend him to anyone needing a Realtor.

Charlie was Enthusiastic, Forthright, and Honest...
Tom & Terry S. Retired US Navy Dear Mr. Zachary, (President-Rose & Womble Realty) It is with great pleasure I write to you regarding the outstanding sales service we received from your organization and one of your agents, Charlie Laurens. Last Spring I decided to start preparing my Virginia Beach townhouse for sale in 1998. The townhouse was a rental unit being managed by Rose & Womble at the time. The management people put me in touch with Charlie. Charlie was enthusiastic, forthright, and honest in telling me what needed to be done and what the market was doing. He was unfazed by the fact the property was a year from being on the market.. Because of Charlie's honesty and enthusiasm and his professional experience with the contracting world, I feel I received first class service at reasonable prices in preparing the property. We worked together to establish a reasonable listing price and to identify key selling features for marketing the property. Within 10 days of listing he had a contract. Although this buyer did not qualify, within a week of release, another buyer was found. Getting to closing was no picnic for various reasons beyond Charlie's or my control. Even when the road was rough, Charlie always kept me honestly apprised of the situation and let me know what my options were. I felt it was through Charlie Laurens' efforts and much prayer to the good Lord (on both our parts) that my townhouse closed last Thursday! In closing thank you again for your Company's fine service and the wonderful job Charlie Laurens did for us.

You've gone above & beyond the call of duty...
Mike & Susan "I wanted to thank you again for everything. We just received our postcards & they are great. I already have over half of them addressed. You've gone above and beyond the call of duty and it has been greatly appreciated. I feel I'm closer than ever to being sane in Virginia Beach now that we're settled. Ha! Of course, Susan being pregnant will take care of that for another 8 months!"

This Was Our First Home and we were nervous...

We appreciate your patience, going over each step of the process. By the way, my parents were here for 10 days, and YES, they sure like the house and pass along, thanks to you! Thank you once again for being such a super Real Estate Agent. We feel blessed by God that we were able to meet you and Donna. Your kindness was appreciated very much!…"
