Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $375K in Manassas Park, VA.
Peggy just helped us buy a single family home and is an AMAZING agent! She was wonderful through the whole process.She was always there if we needed to ask her something and if we wanted to see a house she was there to show us. She also helped us find a tenant for our townhouse, which was great! I would highly recomend Peggy, she really knows her stuff and the area. She found us a great neighborhood that we didn't even know about, and it turned out to be the perfect place for us. We are so happy and i have to thank Peggy for that :)

Sold a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $375K in Fredericksburg, VA.
After dealing with another realtor we were left feeling less than confident. First our realtor wanted us to lower the price of our house, then it was recommended for us to wait to put our house on the market for another 2 months (which we were told 3 days before we had agreed to post the house for sale). With my pregnant wife and I going out of town for 2 weeks (so we could be out of the house for showings) we were scrambling.

I called Peggy after hearing some rave reviews from other home owners in our development and she was AMAZING. Within 4 days our house was on the market, our confidence was restored, and a weight had been lifted. Thanks to Peggy's marketing and expertise our house was under contract in 6 days with a full-priced offer.

To say that I highly recommend her is an understatement.

Sold a home in 2012.
Peggy James with Exit choice Realty was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to assist me simultaneously with the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new home. What I really found helpful was her ability to provide me with three options to consider when selling my old home of which no other realtor did. Additionally, she was there with me every step of the way answering any questions I had even when it came to what repairs needed to be completed and how to stage the home for showing.

I still find it amazing that she was able to sale my home in a week when there were other homes in my neighborhood that had been sitting on the market for months. Including two short sales directly across the street from my home. She also set down with me and answered any questions I had about the offers I received so that I was able to make an informed decision. She even provided suggestions as to the best way of relocating to the city where my new home was located so that my kids would be settled in their new schools and new routine by time we were able to move into our new home. I always felt like Mrs. James was looking out for my best interest even when it came to purchasing my new home. It never felt as if she was in it just for the money. She was even there with me for both settlements.

The hardest part about this whole process was packing and moving, because Mrs. James made the rest a breeze.

Bought a home in 2012.
We are closing on a beautiful, single-family home in the Lake Ridge area this week, and we have Peggy to thank for it! We needed to make this move, as our family had outgrown our townhouse, but I was struggling to find the expertise and guidance I needed from other realtors I worked with. It was a daunting undertaking and I just wasn't getting the help I needed.

From the beginning, Peggy took the time to understand our needs, the obstacles in our way and my frustrations with the process. Then she put her expertise to work to help us through every step of the home buying process, from finding a great mortgage lender to renting out our current townhouse.

If you are looking to move in the Lake Ridge area, then you want Peggy on your side! She knows the area, knows the market, makes full use of available technology, is responsive, intuitive, works hard and truly goes the extra mile. She even went so far as to make a video of a property that went on the market while we were out of town. Good thing she did, because that's the house we bought!

We couldn't have done it without Peggy! We are grateful she's been here to help us!

Mr and Mrs Ryan, Thank you so much for your kind words. There is no greater reward for me as a REALTOR® than to be able to help some figure out what's not working and to help you design a plan of action to meet your personal goals of a move-up home. The process can be daunting ( when you to start to think about it) What people must remember, I am a full time REALTOR® who not only listens to your needs and wants but I have systems in place to make your dreams a reality. Together we help you get to your goal! Congratulations! It has been my pleasure. Can't wait to see how you turn that new home into yours.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $450K in Woodbridge, VA.
If you are in the process of preparing to sell your house, the difference between selecting an average real-estate agent or a superstar can mean sleepless nights and cost you thousands of dollars. It can mean selling your home for top dollar in a short time span or spend months of lowering the price and never reaching your goal. After our initial and follow-up meeting, we knew we had found our dynamo agent in Peggy James, an award-winning team member at Erick and Company or Exit 1st Choice Realty. In two weeks our home went under contract for the asking price. During that short time span there was constant traffic of potential buyers. No agent can guarantee that they will sell your home. But they can tell you what steps they will take to bring it to the attention of buyers. On our follow-on meeting with Ms. James, she had formulated her marketing plan grabbed our attention. Yes, unquestionable, we had selected a superstar. Noteworthy also, since we are downsizing to a smaller home numerous furniture items had to be sold. Within five days, Ms. James executed her marketing skills and had everything sold via craigslist. We were amazed how fast and smooth the selling process was executed. Again, Ms. is a true superstar with many talents.

Sold a home in 2012.
Not only did Peggy assist us with selling our house and purchasing our new house, she accomplished this feat in one week. As our seller’s agent, her knowledge and sense of the market was “spot-on.” She advised us on a listing price that was on target and attracted the right kind of buyers that resulted in two good offers, both above asking price, within 48 hours. We were ecstatic with outcomes from both the sale and purchase and Peggy provided comfort, counsel, encouragement and timely updates throughout. We never felt like the process on either house was ever out of our control.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $825K in Woodbridge, VA.
We interviewed several agents before deciding to list our Westridge home for sale. Peggy clearly had the best approach for marketing our home. Even before the listing began, she was generating interest on the internet. Her use of modern marketing tools combined with an old-fashioned open house got our home sold in one week!. Peggy was responsive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our home and Westridge. She was the right choice for selling our home!

It was my pleasure to assist you and your family with your real estate goals. As I've said before. I never know exactly who your buyer will be or where they come from, however if I cast the net far enough and wide enough, we are bound to attract the person who is looking for your home. "Marketing Matters " in real estate. Thank you entrusting the Erick Blackwelder Team to sell your home.
