John King provides free, no-obligation home valuations using current MLS data, recent comparable sales, and local market trends. Visit cma.757king.com or call (757) 270-3994 for a data-backed price analysis specific to your neighborhood.
Average days on market varies by neighborhood, price point, and season. Homes priced correctly and marketed with a full digital strategy typically sell faster than the market average. John's strategic pricing and multi-channel marketing system is designed to generate maximum demand in the shortest time. Read: most profitable month to sell →
Most agents list on MLS and wait. John uses a full digital marketing system — professional HDR photography, property video walkthroughs, targeted Facebook and Google ads, Instagram and YouTube distribution, email database campaigns, SEO-optimized property pages, and premium placement on Zillow, Realtor.com, and all major portals. Your home is marketed like a brand, not just posted as a listing.
Typical seller costs in Virginia include agent commissions, title insurance, transfer taxes (Virginia's grantor's tax is $1 per $1,000 of sale price), any agreed-upon buyer concessions, and potential repair costs negotiated during inspection. John walks through every cost line by line during your initial consultation — no surprises at closing.
Not always. John's staging and prep strategy focuses on high-ROI improvements — the small, targeted moves that make the biggest impact on buyer perception and final sale price. During your free consultation, he'll advise on exactly what's worth doing and what you can skip. Can you sell as-is? →
Absolutely. As a U.S. Navy veteran, John specializes in military PCS relocations and has helped hundreds of service members sell their Hampton Roads homes — including remote transactions where the seller has already moved to their next duty station. He understands the timelines, the pressure, and the unique challenges military families face. PCS selling timeline guide →

Declutter, depersonalize, deep clean, and handle the obvious repairs — dripping faucets, missing outlet covers, scuffed paint. Curb appeal matters: mow, edge, mulch, power wash. Inside, open blinds and turn on lights for photos. I provide a room-by-room prep checklist at the listing consultation. The goal is to make buyers see themselves in your home, not you. Complete selling guide →
A pre-listing inspection costs $300 to $500 and reveals issues before buyers find them during their own inspection. It prevents surprises that kill deals, gives you control over the repair narrative, and shows buyers you have nothing to hide. For homes over 15 years old, I recommend it every time.
I review every offer with you — not just the price, but the financing strength, contingencies, closing timeline, earnest money, and likelihood of actually closing. We discuss strategy: accept the strongest, counter one or multiple, or call for highest and best. The highest number on paper is not always the best offer. I have negotiated hundreds of multiple-offer situations. Multiple-offer strategy guide →
Yes. Special Power of Attorney lets a trusted person sign on your behalf. Virginia allows remote online notarization for digital closings. I have managed multiple deployment sales — photography, showings, negotiations, and closing — all without the seller being present. Your mission comes first. I handle the real estate. Full deployment selling guide →
Three options: the buyer covers the gap in cash, you reduce to the appraised value, or you negotiate a split. VA appraisals add a layer — once a VA appraiser assigns a value, it sticks for 6 months. That is why pricing correctly from the start matters even more when VA buyers are in the mix. I use comparable sales data to price homes that appraise.
