Raving Reviews
It is hard to put into words how diligent and helpful Spencer Whealton has been for our three-year long quest to find the right place and the right timing for our new home in Fords Colony. He knows the market extremely well and quickly understood what we were looking for. His patience and knowledge were instrumental in helping us find the right home. However, his real talents came through once the purchasing process began. He served as our eyes and ears since the entire process was remote and represented us better than we could have ourselves. Thank you, Spencer!
Spencer Whealton, Realtor has done an outstanding job for my husband and I in helping us to sell our home. Spencer was very thorough, a great communicator throughout the process, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone to work with.

Spencer was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and made it easy to understand all the proceedings. His passion for what he does shines in every aspect of how he conducts himself.
Throughout the process, Spencer made every effort to be available to answer questions and be present at the important steps throughout the home buying process. He is incredibly responsive and attentive. He conducts himself with a rare authenticity and genuineness that makes it easy to communicate and work with him. I would certainly recommend him and will gladly work with him for our next house.

I have just closed on a home in Yorktown, VA with Spencer Whealton representing me in the transaction. Spencer earned my respect and trust when he showed me some homes in VA while I was there a few months ago.
My search continued online from California until he helped me find the house which I now own. Spencer was available to help me remotely tour homes and made himself available so that my daughter could see homes in person.
He guided me through all aspects of the deal and I felt secure that I was getting the best advice and service from him.
Spencer is an extraordinary person who I would recommend because of his integrity, honesty, professionalism and good humor.

Spencer worked with us for quite a long time looking for the best home where we would be close to our grandchildren. He was always there to answer all our questions and willing to show us all the listings we were interested in. His patience, kindness, and knowledge are only a few of his great qualities. Watching the smiles on our grandchildren’s faces when they saw our new home was priceless. Thank you Spencer for making all our dreams come true!

Loyalty
This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each client. I recognize that this purchase is one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, I feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of me helping you accomplish your real estate goals.
Reviewing each others roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps of your home-buying journey is how we can decide if we are ready to be loyal to one another.

Processes
1
Consultation
We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
2
Preapproval
Through vetting every possible home option for you - even exclusive and off-market opportunities I determine your best options and accompany you in viewing them to make sure everything is above board.
3
Property tours
After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
4
Write offer
.Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
5
Under Contract - EMD Deposit
With your offer accepted, we now need your Earnest Money Deposit. This involves an agreed up party holding in a designated escrow account money to hold that will be credited to the buyer at settlement should all terms of the contract be satisfied.
6
Inspections
Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
7
Appraisal
The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
8
Closing
Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
