The past THREE years were unparalleled in Coastal Virginia’s housing market history as demand far outstripped supply driving multiple bidders on homes, offers beyond asking prices, purchases made without inspections and sometimes sight unseen. It is times like this when having the best real estate agent in your corner can make the difference between standing on the sidelines or being in the home of your dreams. Coastal Virginia Magazine has undertaken the task of unmasking the Top Agents and presenting them as a service to our readers. Give them a call…your dream home awaits you!
About the process
Summary. To create the list, the magazine contracted DataJoe Research to facilitate an online peer-voting process and Internet research process. DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process. We paired this with an Internet research process to identify success characteristics. DataJoe checked and confirmed that each published winner had, at time of review, a current, active license status with the appropriate state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a lawyer’s current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that lawyer was excluded from the list. In addition, we checked available public sources to identify agents disciplined for an infraction by the state regulatory board. These entities were excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments.
Final note. We recognize that there are many good agents who are not shown in this representative list. This is only a sampling of the huge array of talented professionals within the region. Inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding agents in the region. We take time and energy to ensure fair voting, although we understand that the results of this survey nomination and Internet research campaign are not an objective metric. We certainly do not discount the fact that many, many good and effective agents may not appear on the list.
