Moving can be stressful and there are so many things to juggle and coordinate.  We 
recently relocated to Virginia and didn't have much time to try to find a home in a market
 that was rapidly changing.  Thankfully we were referred to Doreen Boggs.  There are not 
enough words to describe her level of professionalism, competence, and compassion.  My
 husband and I have worked with many Realtors in the past, but Doreen is truly in a class 
all her own.  As a military couple, we as many others, had demanding and unique needs 
that she met with ease.  The personal care and professional service that she provided is
 unsurpassed.  She treated us not just as customers, but as friends.

When I first met Doreen Boggs with Coldwell Banker Elite, I was extremely impressed with her honesty, integrity and positive attitude that she could sell my home.  After listing my home with a previous company for months, with no activity, I took my home off the market with the thoughts that I was going to have to endure many more months of two mortgages.  With renters not being an option for me, I entrusted my home into Doreen's care.  She came forth with a presentation, a market analysis covering the area of my home, gave me a reality check of the kindest nature and brought forth ideas to assist in the sale of my home. After following through with her ideas and working closely with her and her associate Michelle, the reality came true.  My home sold in record time.  In fact, my home was placed on the market well after others in my neighborhood, yet my home sold before any of the others.  Other realtors have inquired as to how I was able to sell my home so quickly and my answer was, I used Doreen Boggs with Coldwell Banker Elite.  I'm very thankful for her knowledge set of the market area, her perseverance and her continued support during this trying market.  Her commitment and success rate is truly one that I will always remember and refer to other individuals enduring this difficult market.

Doreen helped me sell my house when the previous realtor did not even have any one interested enough to see the house.  She knew exactly what to do to make the house appealing and the "Stager" she recommended did a wonderful job.  Doreen was very responsive and stayed in touch with me and my son and daughter by e-mails and phone contacts, sometimes daily.  She knew reasonably priced contractors to handle the jobs that needed doing.  I am sure that her hard work finally sold my house in what is a very slow market.  She is a warm and caring which makes working with her a pleasure.  Many thanks Doreen

When my husband and I found out we were moving to Virginia from South Carolina the first order of business was to find a realtor.We were so lucky to find Doreen Boggs of Coldwell Banker Elite.We were first impressed with her strong background and personal experience as outlined on the website, but once we talked on the phone we knew we needed to look no further.She instantly made us feel like we were in good hands.She was always available to us by e-mail and by phone.My husband moved to the area first and Doreen was extremely flexible in showing him houses and neighborhoods.She was a wealth of information about the area and was a great resource for a relocating family.She not only helped us find the home of our dreams but she also coordinated services and referrals we needed to get set up.During the closing process and beyond she was a strong advocate and made sure our needs and rights were met.By the end of the process Doreen was not only our realtor but a friend as well.We would highly recommend her services to anyone.


Sincerely,
Helen


"Our move to Virginia was the first time we ever moved our family. My husband and I didn't know what to expect of the housing market coming from Florida and we only had five days to find a house. Not to mention it was the holiday season! Doreen listened to what our needs and interest were, kept us on track and was prepared every day. Doreen made a very stressful situation relaxing and even fun. She dedicated all her time and energy to us and in the end we were successful in finding a great house for our family to live. We were so fortunate to have gotten her as our Realtor. In the future if we find ourselves needing a Realtor, Doreen will be the first we call!"
 
Thank you for all your hard work;

"We had a tremendous homefinding experience thanks to Doreen.  After moving across the country into an area that we knew nothing about, Doreen eased our concerns and worked tirelessly with us to find the perfect solution to our needs.  She balances her limitless energy and professional expertise with a personality that makes you enjoy the experience.  We really can't thank her enough!"

"I always thought that realtors just sold houses until we bought our first home with Doreen.  We just picked out the house and signed the paperwork.  Doreen made it so easy for us, we never had to worry about a thing.  It's been three months since closing, and Doreen still promptly answers any questions I have.  After the whole house hunting and buying process, Doreen seems more like an old family friend than just some lady who helped us buy a house.  I know she will be there for me if I have any questions six months or a year from now.  That's just how she is.  She works hard and is dedicated to making the process as simple as possible for her client.

 Sincerely,
Valerie


"Thorough, Meticulous and Professional" describe Doreen's approach to home selling.  She is extremely personable and interacts superbly with everyone.  She offers sound, insightful advice and provides timely responses to all inquiries.  Our home sold in just 12 days for the asking price due largely to her marketing and follow-through efforts.  You can entrust her with your largest property investment."

"Doreen was a tremendous help during my family´s military relocation from Oceanside California to Stafford Virginia.Her knowledge of the local market is unsurpassed and was the deciding factor in choosing her to represent us as our Realtor.She was there for us 24 hours a day and took care of every detail, from initially helping us find the type of home we were looking for all the way to closing day.We have purchased several homes in the past and she made this by far the most pleasant buying experience of them all.My wife and I have and will continue to highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent."

"Doreen Boggs has sold me two houses in the past five months (and I only paid closing costs on one). Other Realtors I have dealt with did not tell me the whole story on buying a home, but Doreen took the time to ensure I knew the ins and outs of purchasing a home.  She is very thorough and knows how to close a deal.  I am VERY satisfied with her work and will recommend my colleagues to do business with her in the future.  As long as I am buying or selling a home in Virginia, Doreen WILL be my Realtor."

"If you are a first time buyer of your dream home, Doreen Boggs is who you NEED on your side!! As a first time buyer and not familiar with the real estate world, I had many questions when buying my home. Doreen was very patient and informative with every question I had. She made me feel very comfortable and did not move forward until I felt absolutely comfortable with every step. I was so impressed with Doreen's ability to put me not only at ease but her knowledge in the business as well. Together I was able to purchase the home of my dreams and Doreen made the process easy, fun and smooth! Doreen's fun and energetic personality coupled with her exquisite knowledge is exactly what YOU want in a Realtor."

"Doreen in a word is, "SUPERB!"  Her ability and knowledge as a Realtor are unequaled in comparison to other realtors I have used in the purchase of past homes.  When the short-fused decision was made to relocate, Doreen aggressively engaged the market and was able to secure a buyer in less than a week's time.  Simultaneously, she seamlessly coordinated efforts to locate a new home that met my needs in a location outside her normal canvassing area. Doreen's meticulous attention to detail provided for a smooth transition from one home to the next. She alone orchestrated both closings and scheduled viewings, inspections and appraisals.  Not once did she fail to return my many phone calls or lose her pleasant demeanor through it all. I whole-heartedly recommend Doreen to anyone relocating to this area - for she is the "Real" Realtor!

"One simple word describes Doreen, "Awesome!" I was making an unexpected militay move from CA to VA and only had the time to deal over the Internet/phone. I was put in contact with Doreen and I told her what I wanted. Ever buy a house while playing golf? I did! Doreen called me just as I tee'd off the first hole and by the time I finished the 18th hole, I had a loan approval and a offer in the works. Doreen e-mailed me photos of the house, faxed the offer and walked me through it over the phone. I signed it, faxed it back and 3 hours later the owners accepted.  We had a contract and I had a closing date. Imagine playing golf and purchasing a home all at the same time and all in one day, simply amazing! Doreen took care of any and every detail and when I pulled into town, I closed and moved right in. It just doesn't get any better than that. If you purchase a home from anyone else, your missing out on the best! Thanks Doreen and SEMPER FI !

"My husband and I were stationed in San Diego and received orders to Quantico, Virginia. I was 9 months pregnant when we were needing to buy a house in Virginia so it was unrealistic for us to travel there to find a house. We contacted Doreen to help us and she did more than that. She sent us multiple listings and personally drove by all of the houses we were interested in. She walked through the ones we were considering and took pictures and sent them via email. Once we placed an offer on a house and it was accepted, she became our power of attorney for all of the legal documents. Through the whole process, Doreen went out of her way to ensure that everything went smoothly and that all of our requests were met. She continued to be a resource for us after the sale, providing contacts for us such as a landscaper, a painter, etc. Overall, Doreen made what could have been a stressful time for us easy and uncomplicated. We are very happy with our purchase!"
