Refer your client to Hampton Roads. I’ll handle them personally.

What you are referring into

• Me, personally. When you work with KingRealtor757 you work with John and Chrissy King — not a rotating team of junior agents. No handoff to a buyer’s agent your client has never met.
• 441 personal closings across 428 REIN MLS transactions since 2014 — an average of 34 a year. Every one is published here, with methodology, so you can check the record before you trust it.
• Military and PCS is my core practice. I’m a Navy veteran (Machinist Mate, five years) and 189 of my closings — 44% — were VA-financed, four times the national rate. Orders to Naval Station Norfolk, NAS Oceana, JEB Little Creek or Langley–Eustis are the referral I receive most often.
• VA loans, start to finish. Appraisal condition items, the VA condo approval list, entitlement restoration, funding-fee exemptions — I’ve run into every one of them repeatedly, not read about them.
• Waterfront and upper-bracket capability. 70 waterfront closings totalling $28.1 million, 11 closings at or above $750,000, five above $1 million. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Luxury Collection Specialist.
• Every city in Hampton Roads. Virginia Beach (139 closings), Chesapeake (99), Norfolk (96), Hampton (51), Suffolk (20), Portsmouth (15), Newport News and Poquoson. If your client doesn’t know which city yet, that’s a normal first conversation.

What you can hold me to

• Same-day acknowledgment. You get a reply from me — not an assistant — the day your referral comes in, with a written referral agreement to follow.
• Your client hears from me within 24 hours. By phone first, then a written follow-up so they have my direct number and email.
• Weekly updates to you for as long as the client is active, plus a note at every milestone: showings, offer, contract, inspection, appraisal, closing. You will never have to ask what’s going on.
• 25% referral fee on my side’s gross commission, paid broker-to-broker at closing under a written referral agreement, on buyers and sellers alike. No closing, no fee, no invoice either way.
• Your relationship stays yours. Your client goes back to you when they leave Hampton Roads. I don’t market to referred clients for future business outside this market, and I’ll refer them back to you when the next set of orders comes.
• Straight answers. If a client isn’t a fit for me — a commercial deal, land outside the region, a rental — I’ll tell you on the first call and point you to someone who is.

• Applies to buyer referrals and seller referrals equally.
• Paid under a written referral agreement between your brokerage and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty, executed before I make first contact. Virginia requires referral fees to pass broker-to-broker, so the agreement protects you as much as it protects me.
• Paid at settlement from my commission, through the closing attorney or title company — you don’t chase anyone for a check.
• No closing, no fee. If your client rents instead, or decides not to move, neither of us owes the other anything.
• If the client buys and later sells with me during the same relocation, the fee applies to the second transaction as well.
• Part of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices global referral network, but you don’t need to be a BHHS agent to refer. Any licensed agent, any brokerage, any state or country.

Send me

• Military families with orders to Norfolk, Oceana, Little Creek, Langley–Eustis, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard or the Coast Guard commands here — buying or selling.
• VA-loan buyers at any price point, including condos, where VA project approval decides what they can buy.
• Relocating professionals — shipyard, port, healthcare, defense contractors — who need a straight read on commute, schools and neighborhoods before they fly in.
• Out-of-state owners who need to sell a Hampton Roads home they can’t get back to: inherited, a former duty-station house, a rental they’re done with.
• Waterfront and upper-bracket buyers and sellers: Bay Island, Great Neck, Alanton, Bay Colony, East Beach, Shore Drive, Salt Ponds, Pungo.
• Retiring service members turning a VA benefit into a permanent home here.

Send someone else

• Commercial property, multifamily over four units, or raw land outside the residential market — I’ll give you a name, but it won’t be mine.
• Rentals only. I don’t do tenant placement; if your client’s renting first, I’ll point them to a property manager and stay in touch for the purchase later.
• Anywhere outside Hampton Roads. Richmond, the Outer Banks and the Northern Neck are not my market and I won’t pretend otherwise.

I serve Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson. That’s the whole list.
