In Our Clients’ Words

We had a very positive experience with the Cabell Childress Group. Our realtor Kirsten was very knowledgeable. She worked tirelessly and patiently with us, not minding that we needed time to find the house that we wanted. Once we found our house she used her expertise and negotiation skills to help us get our home. We love our home and we're so grateful for Kirsten!Katherine Francis

I would like to start my review by stating that I would wholeheartedly and highly recommend Brian Parker, and the Cabell Childress Group- Long & Foster. My experience is perhaps somewhat unique in that I am the Executor of my father’s Estate. While dealing with the grief of losing my father, and stepmother a year and a half before that, the selling process was difficult for me personally. Once Brian and I began to work together, he helped to guide me through the process. It started in little ways at first, getting the house in order for photographs, and cleaning up the lawn, then quickly became so much more. We then took a larger step together when Brian and Cabell worked with me on setting an asking price for the house, I, of course, wanted to go higher, however, they explained their strategy and in the end, I was so pleasantly surprised that it worked out the way they said it would. In the end, I simply had to trust in his experience and rely on his expertise. HERE IS THE PART YOU NEED TO READ: We ran into several legal challenges due to the fact that my father had written his Will on his own, rather than going through an attorney. While the positive outcome of resolving these legal matters was a forgone conclusion, it ended up taking an additional month to close. My thoughts were the buyers would run at the sight of these legal problems. We decided to offer to rent the property to the new buyers, under what Brian classified as an “Early Occupancy Agreement” which Brian drafted himself. I was amazed at the document that he put together. It protected the Estate, and included limited, but fair concessions for the buyers. It truly was a win-win situation. From my personal perspective, I was extremely anxious about this entire experience, however, Brian maintained a calm and professional demeanor which was to everyone’s benefit. I don’t know of any other agent that would have gone to the lengths Brian did. At one point, I worried that the situation might become too much even for him. If I tried to recount all of the ways Brian managed the sale of my father’s house, there would be pages. Again, I would like to recommend Brian Parker due to his innovative thinking, dynamic personality, and truly creative solutions to complex problems. John Shoop – ExecutorJohn Shoop

We met Jason Parker during an open house. Out of the five agents we met that day Jason proved to be the most knowledgeable and adept at meeting our needs. From the first meeting Jason was able give us useful information regarding the areas we were interested in. As out of state purchasers we were overwhelmed by the VA housing market. However, Jason put us at ease from the first meeting. He went above and beyond walking us through the process and helping us find our dream home. Jason and his team made the process easy with their expertise and professionalism. My husband and I are thrilled with our new home. Thank you so much to Jason and his team!Jackie B.

I worked with Javier to purchase a home in September of 2022. This was my first home purchase, and I'm so glad that I found Javier to help me out with the entire process. He took time to explain everything to me to me, and walk me through every step. His communication was outstanding the whole way! We looked at A LOT of houses, and he was always happy to set up viewings. The home purchasing process was fairly daunting at first, but Javier made it extremely manageable, and even enjoyable! I will absolutely recommend Javier, and Cabell Childress Group to all my friends and family moving forward.Jespah Lara
