John was outstanding in his responsiveness, preparation, knowledge and negotiating skills!

John was easy to reach and knowledgeable about the area. He thought of every single detail. The title company was excellent. Everyone I was in contact with was customer service oriented (a refreshing change, I might add). I would not hesitate to refer anyone.

John Womeldorf was the buyers realtor we found to assist us in purchasing our first home and he was amazing!! Ironically, the lists of homes I found over the internet were not suitable in person; however, John had many listings recommended to see in person that we overlooked on the internet. One of those listings is our first home:) We were living in California which required many transactions and communications to be completed online and over the telephone. He was very prompt with his responses and we felt confident in his help and feedback each step of the process. In the future, he will be the Realtor we recommend to friends and family for the local Hampton Roads area.

John gave us exceptional customer service. Always willing to go the extra mile in answering our questions or in assisting us with any number of other real estate issues. He never said he couldn't do something and he was always available, or made himself available, whenever we felt inclined to visit the property. Additionally he gave us great advice regarding the house inspection that I'm sure saved us thousands of dollars! Great service, I can see why you are 'Mr. Williamsburg' - you are OUTSTANDING - a 10!

John found exactly what we were looking for in a house and community and found us the perfect home. John will always be considered a part of our family! At no time did we feel pressure to buy. I think John would have driven to the end of the earth to show us a home we were interested in. The process from the home selection all the way down to the utilities transfer was the smoothest purchase one could ever dream of. He was outstanding in his negotiating skills, knowledge, responsiveness and preparation! A 10 all the way around!

John was great - always followed up and always without pressure. He was very respectful of my schedule and travel needs to make the most of the time I had to look for a home in Va. His patience and good humor were much appreciated.John simplified my search for a home by asking the right questions and using the answers to those questions to help me find a good fit between my home needs and financial situation.

and that is after 10 former house purchases! John sold our house quickly with a most professional package targeting the right buyer. This man will go to bat for you and will tirelessly earn your business. John is also a trustworthy and honorable person to be on your team for buying or for selling. 5 stars!"

Hate high-pressure salespeople? Want to avoid surprises just before closing, delaying, or even jeopardizing your purchase? If you only want to work with a true professional, surrounded by a team that provides courteous, consistent support, then John Womeldorf (Mr. Williamsburg) is your only choice. John has stuck with us through my many questions and concerns; in the end, we found and purchased the perfect piece of land. Our property was a significant purchase for us, and leaving the details to chance was not an option.

we look back at the web site and see that the staging you did really made the house stand out and showed it at its best.Thank you for your innovative ideas and suggestions to help us gain the interest of a wide group of potential buyers. four offers in one week in today's market still has us scratching our heads. Thanks again for your help.

Positive Experience and smooth transition

John quickly responded to all my questions, He communicated with the builder to assist me in the purchase of a lot He was knowledgeable and gave sound advice.

John was outstanding! We move every three years, so we have dealt with many realtors--John was by far the best. I would refer him to anyone! John was there for every phone call and email--he always responded in a timely manner. I loved him sending updated photos the most--since we bought sight unseen. John always went above and beyond for us--there wasn't anything he didn't do! He even video taped the drive from the neighborhood entrance to the house and sent it to us! Thank you, thank you, thank you. From beginning to end, John was friendly, helpful, professional and fun to work with!

John and his team helped us find our new home in Williamsburg. Living about six hours away during a red hot real estate market, John was extremely helpful with guiding us to neighborhoods that matched our wants and needs. He worked well with us to see homes quickly. We also appreciated his honest and frank evaluations of homes we were considering. His contractor knowledge from flipping homes was invaluable in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of homes we were considering. He knows the housing, the area, the neighborhoods, schools, shopping, etc. so well. He truly is Mr. Williamsburg! We highly recommend him as your real estate agent whether buying or selling. On top of his professional attributes, John's just a nice guy! Very easy to work with and discuss anything.

John did an amazing job throughout a very difficult process. There is no one I would trust more. He kept us informed and gave us information and allowed us to make our own decisions. He was very calm and insightful throughout the process. John is a rarity in that he is an honest man with a genuine concern for the wellbeing of others and will commit to actions back up his philosophy. We rate his services a 10!!

We have know John Womeldorf for nearly 10 years and have had several transactions with him. He is very knowledgeable and very focused on the needs and wants of his clients. John identified for us that this property was for sale at auction, the notice for which we had not seen. John also guided us through the auction process so that we could win the bid at a reasonable cost.

John always made himself available to us and spent lots of time showing us properties. We really appreciate John's availability, knowledge of the Williamsburg area and the fact that he did not try to persuade us into something that we didn't want.

I had very little time to make a decision as an out of town buyer. John was extremely efficient with the available time--very professional, yet personable. It was a pleasure to have him as a real estate agent.

This was our first home buying experience and it went very smoothly. I felt that he was very honest with us about the pros and cons of each neighborhood, which was very helpful since we were moving from out of town. We are very happy with where we ended up.

John is 'the best!!!' :-) John went the 'extra mile' when necessary. Good sense of humor, which I (Margie) esp. appreciate. Easy style -- approachable. Perfect temperament for what he is doing!! Obviously a very patient guy -- or at least one who can control his emotions/reactions, etc.

In nearly 30 years of buying and selling homes, we found Liz Moore and Associates and specifically, our agent John Womeldorf, to be the best we've encountered. He was responsive, attentive to details and always went above and beyond what you would expect from your agent. Because we were living out of state when we purchased our new home, John guided us through the entire process - from our initial search to the completion and closing on our home. He sent us pictures documenting the builder's progress, performed a preliminary walk-through, scheduled the closing to coincide with our moving plans and ensured that our utilities were turned on. He even took measurements so we could order appliances and window treatments! We would highly recommend John and would use him again!

Provided valuable resource information prior to onsite visits; great communication; very responsive.

He is super knowledgeable, helpful & polite

"We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found Mr. John Womeldorf to work as our buyers' agent. He exhibits exceptional attention to detail. Throughout our buying process, Mr. Womeldorf was attentive and tenacious in helping us find the right home. Our phone calls, texts, and emails were always answered promptly. Mr. Womeldorf is a fount of resourceful information and knowledge of the Williamsburg area. Months after our closing, Mr. Womeldorf continues to be available in helping us find reputable tradesmen and service providers. Although we began our relationship as professionals, we now consider Mr. Womeldorf a friend. If you're looking for a real estate agent with a commitment to excellence who puts his clients' best interest first, Mr. John Womeldorf is your agent."

We wanted to thank you again for all the work and preparation you did to help us sell our home in Williamsburg. Thanks for you innovative ideas and suggestions to help us gain the interest of a wide group of potential buyers.

"We relocated from Los Angeles to Williamsburg...which is a long way. We did research for over 2 years to find the perfect spot for my wife to retire, and for me to move my business. (Both challenging situations) Along the way we talked with a lot of realtors and then we came upon John. I have to say he made the process unbelievably easy. He did not pressure us or ignore us even knowing we may have been considered "tire kickers" by other realtors. We started discussing our move almost 2 years before we bought our dream home. He offered exceptional advice not just on our home, but the lifestyle in Williamsburg. His website is an amazing resource. It is not a coincidence that he is known as "Mr. Williamsburg". If you are looking to re-locate from anywhere in the US I hope you will consider contacting John. His mindset to go the extra mile is extraordinary and when you are looking to move, he is the one person I would trust to take care of my interests. I will never use another real estate agent in Virginia !"

You will feel completely taken care of and watched out for as you navigate the process of buying a home with John and his team. Somehow John makes the process of buying a house a smooth and relaxed experience even though it is as stressful on occasion as any. I highly recommend working with John and I would not hesitate to work with him again!"

John is very easy to work with and very forward with his drive to 'move things along' in a home buying process.

Was honest with communicating both the good and bad points of each home presented which made our selection easier. Brought us to our perfect house at the perfect time.

John Womeldorf is the best agent we've used in over 10 transactions in 31 years of moving with the Air Force!! Very professional and helpful. John was constantly keeping us informed and he was very responsive to our questions when we called from Washington, DC. He was superb. We'd recommend 'Mr. Williamsburg' to our friends!

John is amazing! He was very good with my children and even bought them ice cream. He was also accomodating to my busy schedule. He was honest about my expectations.

He kept us informed verbally and with photos as the house was under construction. If we had any concerns, he was always helpful...an excellent agent. He did everything possible to be extremely helpful. John is a fantastic person as well as a great agent. John truly was outstanding!

John is absolutely the most responsive real estate professional we have met in 25 years od home buying. His market knowledge and ability to listen were evident in our first telephone conversation.

that everything was being done that was necessary with our home purchase. He was always responsive to questions and concerns that we would text him with. Early in the process he would always avail himself to us when we needed him or had questions on particular properties and he would always notify us when something fitting our criteria had come on the market. He always taught us something new about the area as he is quite the subject matter expert on Williamsburg. He even taught us some back ways that residents know and use but are off the beaten path of the tourists. Later in the process, after we had found the “retirement home of our dreams”, he kept us up on everything we needed to know about the process. Now, even after closing, he has been there for us for many different things. He isn’t just an excellent realtor, he’s genuinely a great, fun person to be around!" The entire Liz Moore operation is so professionally done.

Coming from out of state it was important to us to have an agent that knew the area. He also took many pictures of the house as it was being constructed and sent them to us, which was very helpful.

John has set the gold standard for service and support through a long and protracted process. We purchased a home in foreclosure which had a very challenging process to complete and John went far above and beyond to both speed up the process and to take rseponsiblity for many aspects of the process that would have been too challenging for us, without professional representation. John was outstanding in every aspect of this process as he has been all three times we have used his services for buying and selling homes. He could teach a course on how to achieve a pinnacle in customer service and relationship building! He represents Liz Moore and himself as examples of excellence! He is outstanding - a 10!

He found a contractor to do house repairs after Irene, so the sale could be completed.

The house is working out perfectly & the neighbors have been wonderful...We can't thank you enough for all your help!

He gave us sound advice which I believe helped sell our house in just a matter of a few weeks.

I just wanted to take the time to express my appreciation to you & John Womeldorf for doing such a professional job with the disposition of my Williamsburg home. Dealing with your firm was a delight and the professiionalism, the knowledge of the current market conditions and down right great attitude of your folks was very refreshing

John's services were OUTSTANDING! He knew the neighborhoods and general property values. Also, he was able to determine an accurate value for the purchased property prior to making an offer.

He always gave good advice and seemed to know a lot. All the behind the scenes things that made the deal come together. The Mr. Williamsburg web site is awesome!

John was outstanding, best realtor we have ever worked with and we have purchased homes in 4 different states!

Not an easy feat, given our budget and the fact that we live out of state. He was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating. He answered our many inquiries without once acting put out by our requests. We apppreciated the fact that John was never pushy, and we always felt he had our best interests at heart. We would not hesitate to refer John, and will to anyone we know who is looking for an agent. We'd like to thank John for all he has done.

Other reviewers on multiple sites testify John Womeldorf is a superb real estate agent for both buyers and sellers. For my part I am here to stress if you are a buyer presently based outside Williamsburg area looking to relocate you absolutely should hire John Womeldorf aka Mr. Williamsburg. Don’t waste your time considering anyone else. Different situations mandate different skill sets. Most otherwise good enough agents lack. His communication skills on the phone are unparalleled. By investing just a few minutes on the phone with him he will be able to rapidly guide you to ideal properties. Don’t shortchange yourself by dismissing the label Mr. Williamsburg as a marketing ploy. He deserves the honor of being called Mr. Williamsburg in every dimension of the term. Most relevant here, he couples his comprehensive knowledge of this community with a rare ability. He educates you on what you need to know about this community only when you need to know it. He never drowns you in extraneous information just to show off his expertise. Our interactions with him were always delightfully efficient, because he took the trouble to listen to us carefully beforehand. Moreover in our particular situation he had an extra advantage over other agents, that may mirror the needs of other out of town buyers. We sold our existing home , some 600 Miles away from Williamsburg, prior to buying here. We wanted to be cash buyers. Although thanks to Mr. Williamsburg’s efforts we quickly submitted the winning bid on our ideal home here, we still were in need of a short term furnished rental prior to the formal closing of our purchase transaction. In a tourist area like Williamsburg a short term rental could have been obnoxiously expensive. Fortunately John has a couple of nearby rental properties that he usually uses as Airbnbs. He offered a solution to us that we found attractive. Our short term rental from him came fully furnished in an delightful area. Indeed whenever you encounter an obstacle please share it with John. He is a creative problem solver. Hire him.

We found most valuable is his style and overall knowledge of all related topics, he was always on top of every detail!

We were impressed with the prepared booklet of visitatioon sites...most helpful! John followed up after the home inspection. He constantly sent us updated information.

John was awesome, start to finish - Gave his honest opinion when asked, straight shooter.
