Testimonials

“Not being from the area, I was not sure as to where the best areas in Virginia Beach were. I was fortunate to meet Kay Basden and she was great in helping me search for a home. We spent many weekends looking and putting bids in on homes with no luck. Kay then sent a letter to everyone in the particular neighborhood I wanted to live in and sure enough I got my home! Kay made sure where I was moving was safe, and walked me through the entire process: like a mother watching over me.”

Daniel Burr

“You gave us time when you had none. We knew from the first we could trust you and your ability. We have found not only our realtor but a friend for life.”

Derek and Lisa Clarke

“I just wanted to write and let you know how much I appreciate all the hard work you did in selling my home. You and your staff were very professional and helpful. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Esther Harris

“Kay Basden helped me find a perfect home! But she did not just point me to a web page she helped me to understand what I was looking for in a house. Over a period of two years we looked at numerous properties but she never gave up. She kept saying that when we found the right house everything would work and it did. Keep up the good work Kay.”

“Joe and I met Kay through her husband Marty five years ago. She has helped us sell two condos and buy one. Kay is to us more than just an agent; she became a friend who has been there over some very rough spots. Our memories will last.”
