Getting Homeowners insurance coverage !

12-13-11
Alison Creamer, Realtor, ABR, CDPE Virginia Beach , Virginia

We are helping a buyer with a purchase in Chesapeake Va. After many phone calls, we came to the conclusion NO ONE wants to insure homes anymore around here.

Farmers Insurance is still writing

Allstate is writing policies through Theses third parties
Universal North American
American Modern
Virginia Property

Farm Bureau said they are having a meeting today and does not
think that will be writing polices for this after the 1st of the year

State Farm is no longer going to give new polices for Home Owners even
if you already have policies with them

USAA is no longer writing new policies


Its CRAZY !

Are you thinking about buying a home on the Chesapeake Bay ?

Alison Creamer, Realtor, ABR, CDPE Virginia Beach , Virginia
If your buying a home on the water you may need to research what you can do with the land. Its critical to ensure you will be able to use the home the way you want. There are strict requirements you have to meet. Take time to review all the aspects before you make that commitment to purchase. Make sure to look at the wetlands site too because depending on what you want to do, it may involve the wetlands. http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/stormwater_management/theact.shtml http://www.vbgov.com/government/offices/eso/boards-commissions/pages/chesapeake-bay-board.aspx http://www.vbgov.com/government/offices/eso/boards-commissions/Pages/wetlands-board.aspx http://www.dcr.virginia.gov The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Bzibee Real Estate Team at www.BuyHamptonRoadsHOMES.com an help you navagate these critical decsions.

Alison Creamer, Realtor, ABR, CDPE Virginia Beach , Virginia
Are you new to the area or just wanting to try something different for a change ? Im always scared to try out new places for fear it will be expensive and Ill hate it. Here is a great list you can check out. If you have been to any and have a comment please let me know Id love to add it to the reviews.

Restaurants: - Savor VA, Virginia Beach 1340 N. Great Neck Rd, Suite 1232 Virginia Beach, VA 23454 o Trista: This is my husbands my absolute favorite restaurant here. You cannot go wrong with this place! Southern comfort food made seriously classy. You have to try their brunch. Another suggestion: their Fried Green Tomato stack and their desserts (bread pudding and Pour Amour. YUM!). Also, good wine list.
- The Green Onion, Virginia Beach 1603 Colley Ave.Norfolk, VA 23517 and 1336 North Great Neck Virginia Beach o Trista: Please do not write this place off by their random exterior. Inside is classy, trendy and has that modern, bistro feel to it. Great wines by the glass, and good seasonal menu choices based off whats locally available. Has become one of my default go-to restaurants. Also, check their website; they have lots of deals,priced wine nights, priced entrees, etc.
- Ynot Pizza, Virginia Beach Multiple locations around town o Trista: Good, old-fashioned, New York style pizza! I love their specialty pizzas. Seriously, so good.
- Citrus, Virginia Beach o Trista: The breakfast/brunch joint in Va Beach. Some awesome Bellinis, Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Love their flavored pancakes, their sweet potato biscuits and their unique and different take on Eggs Benedict. Also, they use local ingredients!
- D'Egg, Norfolk o Trista: Classic, urban breakfast/lunch diner. Good sandwiches and good sides!
- Press 626, Norfolk o Trista: I LOVE THIS PLACE. So cool and trendy. Awesome wine, awesome food, awesome atmosphere. Not a single bad thing on the menu! Their grilled cheese will change your world. No joke. Their brunch is seriously good too.
- Tortilla West, Norfolk o Trista: Fun, off-beat restaurant. Food is some of the best Mexican I’ve had in Hampton Roads. And they have a Margarita do I need to say more?
- Orapax, Norfolk o Trista: Great Greek restaurant. Good family atmosphere. Inexpensive and delicious. Friday and Saturday nights are $1 wine nights!
- Cogans, Norfolk o Trista: Really good sandwiches, really good pizza and really good beer! Fun, laid-back atmosphere to hang out either during the day or night.
- HK on the Bay, Virginia Beach o Trista: Great locals hangout! Good food and fun atmosphere. Alison: Great place to have a Locals meal, relaxed and fun environment. Be prepared to wait it can get pretty full.

- Pasha Mezze, Norfolk o Trista: Trendy fun restaurant with delicious Middle Eastern theme. Food is very good, and atmosphere is very cool.
- Saffron, Virginia Beach o Trista: Absolute best Indian food in Hampton Roads. Colorful, flavorful delicious dishes. If youve never tried Indian food or this restaurant, you are missing out. But make sure you go with someone who knows what to order otherwise you might feel lost.
- Bakers Crust, Virginia Beach o Trista: Similar to but slightly more upscale than Panera. Great specialty coffee drinks, crepes, and pizzas. Lots of bang for your buck and the food is so flavorful! Great for lunch or dinner. Alison : Yumm there is not much more to say. Good portions to
- Pho 79, Virginia Beach o Trista: I absolutely love this little hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant! The Pho is amazing and its so cheap! Alison : I was not a fan but seems many love it.
- Otani, Virginia Beach o Trista: The sushi is great, and the hibachi is awesome! They put on a good show and the food is cooked to perfection. Good date or family night, lots of fun.
- Crocs Bistro, Virginia Beach o Trista: Great wine list, with a fun and interesting menu. Food is great and they clearly take pride in their locally sourced ingredients. Alison: Great relaxed place , good patio for summer meals
- No Frill Bar and Grill, Norfolk/Virginia Beach o Trista: The outside looks like one of those greasy dives, but this inside is very trendy. Good inexpensive drink options, and great salads and sandwiches. Alison: Amazing place to eat. One of my favorites.
- Taste, Virginia Beach o Trista: Local grocery store meets sandwich shop. Sandwiches are out of this world good. A little bit expensive for sandwiches but totally worth it!
