Hi, I'm Jim Willis, Realtor with Rose and Womble Realty and a resident of this community since '73. I belong to the Hampton Roads Realtor Association (HRRA), the local real estate organization; the Virginia Association of Realtors (VAR), the National Association of Realtors (NAR), as well as the Hampton Roads Association of Realtors Relocation Council.
(Note: As an added benefit, because of my affiliation and involvement with a large number of real estate organizations we can provide top relocation service anywhere in the United States with top Accredited Buyer Representatives.)
We proudly provide Residential Real Estate service to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Portsmouth and all Surrounding Areas of Virginia. This beautiful area is sometimes called Hampton Roads and the Peninsula Area and collectively the Tidewater area.
The military is a significant and welcome part of the South Hampton Roads community, and many of our real estate home buyers are military personnel; whether they are Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Army. We frequently visit the Welcome Centers at all area base locations (Naval Air Station, Norfolk Naval Base, Amphibious Base, Oceana, and Dam Neck) to make our real estate services available to all military personnel that might be in the market for a home.
I am happy to provide friendly, caring, and professional services to all; whether you are first time home buyers, or seasoned veterans of the home buying process. (Note: We schedule our time to coincide with house hunting trips of personnel moving into the Virginia Beach / Norfolk, and surrounding areas.)
The Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and all surrounding areas in Va have a lot to offer during the non-working hours. The area has cultural benefits such as Chrysler Museum, Chrysler Hall, Local and Regional Theatre, as well as National Touring Broadway shows. Our colleges and Universities; Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk State University (NSU), Virginia Wesleyan College, and extensions of other major state Universities, and our Tidewater Community College (TCC) campuses throughout the South Hampton Roads area are available. Plus we have great Shopping locations thruout the area!
There are a wealth of restaurants in the area, in all price ranges and all types of cuisines- and, as you might imagine -- wonderful Seafood. Sports include our AAA Norfolk Tides Baseball Team, the Hampton Roads Admirals Hockey Team, as well as extensive sporting activities in our recreational, little league, midget, high school and college sports teams.
And, of course, the Beach, where tourists share with us the joys of the area during summer seasons. In off seasons we have the beach more to ourselves... Great Fun! Many Historic attractions are available in the area as well as easy driving distance outside the immediate area.
The Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth and all surrounding areas of Va provides a great Quality of Life with lots to do and friendly, diverse people to be around!! Come visit; maybe look at Vacation and/or Second Homes available!

Let me share with you a little about the Virginia Beach and surrounding areas of Va. This will include the current population, land mass and, of course, where to find real estate ie all the homes for sale in the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth! (Hint www.googlejim.com)
This Area of Southeast Virginia is sometimes called S Hampton Roads, although no matter how much our Chamber of Commerce promotes the name, hardly anyone out of the area knows what S Hampton Roads is or where it is.
Now, South Hampton Roads consists of 5 Cities; Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk. No Counties because the Cities over time have absorbed what used to be city/county governments.
Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Suffolk all have a large land mass and a less dense population base. Norfolk and Portmouth has a more traditional city type population with less land mass and a more dense population.
**Virginia Beach has a Population of app 433,000 with a Land Mass of 310 sq miles
**Chesapeake has a Population of app 217,000 with a Land Mass of 353 sq miles,
**Suffolk a Population of app 82,000 with a Land Mass of 480 sq miles.
Comparatively
**Norfolk has a Population of app 239,000 with a Land Mass of 66 sq miles
**Portsmouth has a Population of app 99,000 with a Land Mass of 45.5 sq miles.

www.activerain.com/jimwillis visit here for my Blogs about Real Estate and the Virginia Beach Area!
National Sites in real estate, mostly because of their sheer size, hold the top 1-6 positions in almost any real estate search phrase. At least it's prevelent for real estate in the Virgina Beach, Chesapeke, Suffolk, Norfolk and surrounding areas of Va.
Realtor.com (our partner?) and Homegain are prevelent in the organic or natural results in both Google and Yahoo; Google has a Google Base site that has a conglomeration of real estate related information from The Real Estate Book, Homes.com, Harmon Homes, FSBO sites, and individual Real Estate Co's and Realtors who add some of their listings. The same holds true for Yahoo under their Real Estate Category.
In addition Trulia, Zillow, Redfin, Cyberhomes.com, Living Choices.com, etc, with their advertising, are becoming more visible utilizing limited and/or confusing data .
In my opinion, the Home Buyers are primarily the ones getting shortchanged with these National Sites in Real Estate. Most of these sites have an incomplete and smaller percentage of available listing on their site, and many times they have dated information as well ie listings that have closed months ago still showing available.
Also, National Sites use extensively computer software that utilize publically available information nationally. To much of the time the information is dated or skewed because they don't have the ability to add local knowledge and insight about the area as do local Realtor sites and Realtors. Local Realtor real estate sites can provide invaluable local information that is impossible for National Sites. Home Buyers are not getting all they information they need to make the best decision on purchasing a Home when they utilize national sites.
My recommendation to potential Home Buyers is to utilize Local Sites with Local Realtors. There are plenty of great local Realtors with local updated, comprehensive sites in the Virginia Beach area and all across the US.

When something looks too good to be true, it more then likely is. The extreme of this is a home in a million dollar +/- neighborhood going for $265,650. There is most likely a great deal of problems with the home that requires correcting. Plus the real estate taxes on the home is probable $8,000-$10,000+ per year.
That said, they are good deals out there for everyone, but not to the extreme. That's for Infomercials about real estate on TV.
There is currently a Home in Virginia Beach Va listed for sale for $744,000 but will go to Auction on the 29th of September, if it hasn't sold; starting bid at $100,000. If you were able to buy this home at Auction for $100,000 (not likely) in a neighborhod where homes are valued from $700,000-$3,000,000+, chances are good that to correct the problems on this house would require a substancial amount of money and "sweat equity". Plus the probability of very high real estate taxes.
They are a lot of Homes for Sale in this market and many or those are foreclosure properties. This is an opportunity for Buyers to have a wide selection of homes from which to choose and Seller's are open to negotiate price and closing cost assistance. Consequently, they are a lot of opportunities to get a good deal in this market on a Home. Just remember that you can get a good deal, not an unbelievable deal. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
