Testimonials

Peg is wonderful! I was referred by a friend and co-worker and I made contact with her while I was deployed overseas with the military. I was able to send her my specific needs and requirements, and the day after I arrived home she had houses lined up to view. She worked within my extremely tight schedule and helped me find the perfect house. As a first time home buyer she walked me through all the steps, which made the whole process so very easy. I would recommend Peg to anyone looking for a realtor.

Erica Wilson, Stanardsville, Virginia

As first time home buyers from out of state, it was important to find someone that really knew the Charlottesville area and would actually listen to what we wanted. From the beginning of the home-buying process, my wife and I felt that Peg was offering great suggestions and insight that reflected the kind of home, price and location that we were looking for. To say that we were on the same page on many occasions would be an understatement -- Peg really listens and acts in the best interests of her clients. That, and she goes above the bar even after closing. Thanks Peg!

To say "We couldn't have done it without you," seems a gross understatement. We decided to sell our house in an "unfavorable" market...Given that we did things "backwards," (buying a new home before selling our old one), you provided the intangibles that kept us sane & moving forward in the process. Beyond the countless open houses, inspections, negotiations with sellers and buyers, and the myriad other details, you supplied to us the strength, confidence and wisdom that comes from experience & a true desire to help others.

Brian & Kris Keena Charlottesville-Virginia

Peg is the best! We moved to Charlottesville from NYC and had exactly one weekend to find a house. When our first offer fell through Peg went to a local builder and found out everything we needed to know about building a new house. She was our eyes and ears and she made sure everything we wanted got done all while we were still in NYC. She took pictures and e-mailed them to us and kept the pressure on the builder so we did not miss our closing date. We LOVE our home and Peg! She is the best real estate agent in Charlottesville! No one will work harder for you.

Melissa Henriksen & Siva Vaidhyanathan Charlottesville - Virginia

Peg Gilliland is the ultimate professional! Peg went above-and-beyond the typical role of real estate agent as she helped us to think about "staging our home" and preparing it to sell in a sagging market - to the closing of our sale not too long after. I feel very confident in stating that Peg was the reason we had a quick sale in the spring of 2007 when so many other homes sat on the market: she helped us to think competitively about what it would take to sell in a slowing market and soothed our worries every step of the way as we (and many other sellers) listened to news report about the stagnant real estate market. I would unequivocally recommend Peg to every buyer or seller in the Charlottesville-Albemarle market: she is a true professional who approaches her job with enjoyment, vigor, and knowledge. She did so much for us that far exceeded what she needed to do; plus, she has a great personality that makes buying and selling fun!!!

Laura Justice Worthington - Ohio
