WE HELP FOR SALE BY OWNERS
IN ALL HAMPTON ROADS CITIES
.
.
Hampton Roads Flat Fee MLS is a division of, or a separate department within, Peninsula Homes Real Estate.
We are licensed in the state of Virginia. Our Peninsula Homes Real Estate side does all of the traditional things you would expect from real estate agents and a real estate company.
Just as the name states we are based on the Virginia Peninsula. We have had an enormous amount of success in helping people to buy their very first home!
However, the website that you are on right now is focused on assisting For Sale By Owners.
We help FSBOs sell homes throughout the entire Hampton Roads area. These are the cities of Hampton, Newport News, York County, Poquoson, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and the Surrounding Areas.
The statistics are pretty clear that most people want to know a little something about a company before deciding whether, or not, to do business with them. So, if you are interested, the rest of this page is just a little bit about me. If not, you can skip it and return to the Main Page.
My name is Greg Ford. For those of you who have been living in Hampton for a while, I grew up right across the street from the old Hampton General Hospital that was on Victoria Blvd. There is a school there now. But if you really have been here for a while, I went to Thorpe Jr. High School which used to sit down the street right next to Darling Stadium on Victoria. I then went to Hampton High for a couple of years. Then I moved to the Aberdeen area and had to transfer to Bethel High which is where I graduated.
Less than a month after graduating I went into the Air Force. I never got stationed at Langley but I stayed in for almost eight years. Then I got out and starting working at Price Club (which is now Costco). That was back when Price Club use to yell out the item numbers at the check out. And it is where I first took an interest in real estate. Some guy who was checking out, and making small talk, said he was having a great day because he was going to a closing. I didn’t even knew what that was and he explained it to me. Ever since that I would always asked a lot of questions to the customers whose membership cards had something indicating real estate, or realty, on it.
I got a pretty good education up there at those cash registers. But I actually took the real estate class and got my license in 1992. Or 93, I can’t remember for sure. Either way it was a long time ago. And I can’t believe I’ve been doing this that long. The picture below is from when I first graduated real estate school. My hair is longer now. And it is gray.
Over those years I’ve done real estate completely full time. And then there were periods where I got a 9 to 5 and did real estate part time. Right now I am back to full time.
I’m saying this because I often get a lot of people who say they recognize me from somewhere. Nearly all of those jobs had something to do with customer service, so many people may recognize me from one of those jobs I’ve had. But I think the biggest reason by far is that I spent quite a few years with Century-21 Nachman. I actually started as an agent with Realty World. For those of you who remember the old Coliseum Mall, we had an showroom office just a couple of doors down from LensCrafters and across from Picadilly Restaurant. It then became Century-21 which it remained for years. There was also a satellite office showroom at Patrick Henry Mall right across from Ruby Tuesdays. But, by far, I spent a lot of time at the Coliseum Mall.
I am talking about this because it is where I got an enormous amount of my experience working with home buyers, and particularly, first time home buyers!
Nobody goes to the mall to buy a home! But what often happened is that people would walk by and see us sitting there. Then they come over and ask about some house that was for sale on their street. Or a house for sale they keep driving past. Or some home they saw in one of the homes magazines (This was before the internet). Those conversations would usually end up with them indicating they were always interested in buying a home but didn’t know what to do. So we would show them what to do!
We helped a lot of people buy homes at that mall location. And a lot of first time
home buyers starting from scratch. That often meant there were things on their credit that needed to be cleared up first. And I would help them do that. These were people many other agents don’t spend much effort on.
I just simply continued to do this throughout the years. And when I started Peninsula Homes Real Estate. Then we expanded in to offering services specifically to assist For Sale By Owners.
The Bottom Line Is We Provide A Service That Helps People Many Real Estate Companies Overlook.
