Review David and Virginia are an incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and conscientious team. They brought great energy and positivity as they clearly communicated with us through the whole process. On their first visit, David and Virginia adeptly generated a ball park price and identified some small fixes that generated big results. David and Virginia know the area well, were well versed on other nearby properties and identified a perfect time to put our home on the market to capture the most attention. Virginia staged the house in a very attractive and inviting manner. They worked with us, brought us the best offers, and helped make the whole process as calm and smooth, as possible.

Review Consummate professionals, a powerhouse team. My mother and I each had condos that needed to be sold. After a disastrous 3 months listed with a prior agent, who did nothing but list the property and sit around waiting for a buyer to drift in that never materialized, a friend recommended Virginia and David. We fired the previous agent, signed with this dynamic duo, and each unit sold within days, all cash, one at asking price and the other above. This team KNOWS the market. Virginias staging was spot on and worked with what we had. David hit the perfect pricing range and then negotiated incredible deals that gave us terms more generous than we could have imagined. Working with them was an outstanding experience.

Review The Billups team did a wonderful job for us in the sale of our property! I had already used them 22 years prior to find the home they helped us recently to sell. I was so impressed with the professionalism in buying the property that I went back to them when the time came to sell the same property. We really appreciated their expertise, knowledge, and patience as we asked questions to gain broader understanding of the process. We were also impressed how they use each other's individual strengths to move through different aspects of the sale. They helped us to get a very good price for our home and explained recommendations in a very clear and understandable way at all steps of the sale. They have a very good understanding of current industry technology and we feel like we learned a lot about the current tools as well. Clients are in great hands with David and Virginia and we highly recommend them!

Review David and Virginia are pros. They have a lot of experience and that long-term knowledge came through for us in the recent sale of our Springfield home. They negotiated a favorable home inspection arrangement and a way of handling any appraisal issues that was beneficial to us. They were also very practical and cost effective with their repair and staging recommendations. As a result, our home sold quickly and over asking price, during a typically slow time of year. We recommend David and Virginia without reservation. Their status as preferred realtors with Greenspring Senior Living also saved us money on our move.

Review David and Virginia Billups are terrific real estate agents. They paid attention to our needs and time table. In particular, they offered several selling strategies, and, in the end, helped us to choose what turned out to be the best approach. We decided on a conservative plan in which we priced the house in an "as-is" condition with no upgrades and we listed it before the Spring rush to get ahead of sellers of similar homes. David and Virginia also quickly created a very detailed and helpful marketing materials which were quite appealing to prospective buyers. And, finally, when our house was placed on the market, they staged an open house that resulted in several bids. In the end, we sold the house for $31,000 over our list price.

Review The Billups team did an excellent job in staging our home for sale and then selling it within one week of its listing on their website for our original asking price. Virginia was exacting and skilled in staging our home. David's judgment and skill in navigating the sale of our house was highly valuable. We would highly the Billups' team.

Review Words are going to fail me to describe how happy my wife and I are with our realtors, David and Virginia Billups. Their professionalism, courtesy, and thoughtfulness exceeded our hopes for the sale of our house. David was always thinking of how best to get our home ready for the market always with a view of our transition into a Retirement community. He and Virginia's more than 30 years experience showed in many ways; from our first meeting, the work they did behind the scenes, their council on aspects of the sale, their experience with the area we lived in and the community we were headed to, their responsiveness to our questions, and the way they handled the interactions with other real estate agents. We could have not asked for a better experience.

Review My 95-year-old aunt became incapacitated and moved into assisted living. That left me to clean out her big house and get it ready to sell. I have had no experience with selling a home and there were limited financial resources for me to do repairs on the house. David and Virginia went above and beyond to answer my questions, help me find the assistance I needed, and help me recover from a couple of setbacks in getting things ready to go. Every recommendation they made for contractors was top-notch. They explained every step in the process thoroughly from beginning through settlement. I felt so lucky to have them in my corner and I feel like they really looked out for my aunt's interests in the whole process. The price that the house sold for was beyond what we had hoped for and will take care of her for a very long time.

Review After interviewing and considering a number of realtors, we selected The Billups Group, David Billups and Virginia Clark-Billups, as ideal for meeting our needs and expectations, as we transitioned from our single home in Fairfax VAs King Parks West to the Greenspring Retirement Community in Springfield, With 30 years experience as realtors, David and Virginia certainly exceeded our expectations in providing outstanding guidance, helping us reach our goals, and advising us on how to deal with all related concerns that we had as first-time sellers. Their very reasonable approach in advising us how to best prepare our house for the market was both effective and friendly. As a result of their advice, their staging and photographing interior and exterior areas, their planning the posting of our house on internet platforms, and their arranging for and hosting an ideal aEURoeOpen House" -- all outstanding! - we received offers above listing price. We are very grateful for the Billupss valuable efforts throughout our relationship with them. To say that we were very satisfied with the Billups service would be an understatement aEUR" we were extremely pleased with and appreciative for their valuable advice and outstanding work, as well as the excellent relationship they built with us. Without any hesitation, we would greatly endorse The Billups Team for primary consideration for anyones needs for realty services.Tom and Louise OMalley

Review David and Virginia are the BEST, period! From our first meeting with them through closing, we had complete confidence in their knowledge, insight, and advice on every aspect of our home sale. While each of them can certainly handle every step of the process individually, they truly complimented one another as a team. Virginia has such a gift for staging and showing a home that HGTV could learn a few things from her, and David is masterful in the technical aspects, especially negotiating the final sale. Professional, diligent, tireless, and just plain nice people. Each of them is outstanding at what they do, together they are superlative! We could not have been happier working with David and Virginia.

Review What a TEAM! David and Virginia (Billups) were simply outstanding. We could never have imagined how easy it would be to sell our house of 20 years. Our first session (paperwork) was well focused and clearly explained. We agreed on a price that was higher than the price my wife and I had agreed to. Two days later Virginia was staging our house. When she finished, we were amazed; our house looked fantastic. It looked best with less (we are now minimalist!). The skills of David and Virginia continued to aEURoeshine aEURoe during the offer negotiations. In short, we never felt overwhelmed with either the process or the TEAMs guidance. We were ecstatic with the end results: sold in 4 days at a cost that favored us. We are happy!! Were convinced that the TEAM is quite professional. David and Virgina are truly dedicated Real Estate agents. You will be served extremely well!

Review I can't imagine finding a more qualified realtor to guide a seller through the sales process. David's considerable experience was quite evident in our very first meeting. At that time he laid out the entire process, discussed how we would determine a top listing price, suggested a few minor renovations to freshen up the property, subsequently arranged a contractor to do the work and directly supervised its completion. He was in close contact every step of the way. In less than a week of listing the property we had a full price offer from a well qualified buyer and were able to close quickly. The service we received from David was outstanding. He was a pleasure to work with.

Review We have moved seven times in the last 40 years and have a lot ofexperience with realtors. We sold our last home in June, 2020 beforemoving into a retirement community. The process of this move was longand demanding. One of the bright spots, in this process, was puttingour home in the hands of the Billups team. They guided us through allthe lengthy technical and marketing processes to the actual sale of ourhome after being on the market for two days. They provided marketinformation, planning and arranging a virtual tour and always providedprofessional information during the whole process.As realtor professionals with the right information and direction, mywife and I felt we were in competent hands and made to feel a part ofthe team that sold our home for over the asking price. Without anyreservations, we highly recommend the Billups team.

Review It had been over 30 years since we had sold a home, so we were somewhat apprehensive of the selling process. However, our concerns were soon put to rest with our selection of the David and Virginia Billups Long and Foster realty team. Their combined efforts, attention to detail, and knowledge base of the local housing market produced multiple offers on the first day of sale. David kept us informed throughout the selling process and was always available by phone. Virginia did a tremendous job staging our home. We highly recommend the Billups team.

Review This was our first experience selling a home, having lived in our house for 47 years. Our initial visit was very informative. They reviewed with us what the total process would entail. They toured the house and gave an honest assessment of what the price should be. There were several "bumps in the road" as to what needed to be done to market the house. David was very helpful in getting qualified contractors to complete the work. We couldn't have been more pleased with their professionalism and efficiency. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a Real Estate transaction.

Review David and Virginia Billups are terrific realtors. They are professionals who are totally knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions that arose during the sale of our home. Virginia is the consummate stager and very precise in setting up a home for sale. David patiently takes care of all those details a seller is always overwhelmed with.

Review David and his wife, Virginia, are excellent. Most of our interactions were with David but Virginia, having an eye for esthetics, did the staging for our house at no cost to us. David knows the local real estate market and is an expert in the buying and selling process so his knowledge was quite reassuring. All of our questions were answered promptly, either immediately or upon consultation with the buyers Realtor, with the degree of detail that we needed. He was always available by direct phone call, or if he was on another call, immediately after our leaving a message.We were able to conveniently receive and send necessary information by email prior to listing the property and were able to sign the contract electronically using a program that we were easily able to access by a link in an email.David was concerned about minimizing our costs. He wanted to minimize the cost of necessary renovations, and arranged all of the contractor and other vendor work, needed to market the property online for professional photos to attract buyers. As I mentioned above, David and Virginia suggested lightly staging our home with some of our furniture that we were not planning to take to the retirement community to which we moved in order to avoid the expense of professional staging. These efforts worked well. The same day our property was listed many people expressed interest, the next day and we received an offer for more than the listing price, and the next day after that we signed the contract. Another example of Davids attention to detail is that, as we approached the settlement day, he inspected the tentative settlement sheet and found a cost that had not been previously disclosed to us and, as a result, was able to negotiate the charge from the buyers settlement company to a mutually satisfactory amount.All of this professionalism produced a quick sale for an amount beyond our expectations more than offsetting the cost of preparing the property for sale. David made things easy for us, provided great confidence in him, produced great results, and made us comfortable during the entire process.

They were also extremely helpful in giving us advice on how to proceed in many situations we were unfamiliar with.

Review David and Virginia are a masterful team! My parents and I worked with them to sell my parents' condo. Virginia staged the condo beautifully so that the photos that were taken really highlighted the many outstanding features of the unit. Within three days of putting the condo on the market, we had four excellent offers -- two above the asking price! With great thought, David helped us to understand and analyze the different offers we received and to create a strategy moving forward. He gave solid advice throughout the negotiating process, and my parents were extremely happy with the final result. David and Virginia are highly professional, responsive, patient, and VERY good at their jobs. We highly recommend them to anyone who is hoping to to sell their home through a smooth process and with optimal results.

Review David was outstanding every step of the way. He provided me timely, professional advice and guidance that resulted in a very quick sale at full price. In fact, he and Virginia found a buyer before my home was even listed. He is ever mindful of his client's interests. He has an extensive network of contractors of any necessary skill who can perform repairs quickly, responsibly, and at reasonable cost. He was always prompt to respond and conscientious in protecting my interests. I highly recommend David and Virginia to anyone seeking to sell their home. Follow their guidance and success is guaranteed. The Billups team is truly excellent!

Review If you want a husband-wife realtor team that knows all the ins and outs of selling your home, suggests fixing-up approaches and provides the workers who will immediately show up and start work, recommends both strategic and tactical approaches to maximize your sale price, and provides hands-on help to do this, David and Virginia Billups are the ones for you. I had no idea, or indication from previous homes I've sold, that realtors do all this. Most probably don't. But Dave and Virginia do. They have our absolute highest recommendation! By the way, our home sold on the day it was first listed at a price above the asking price.

Review David Billups knew what was needed to renovate the parts of our house to make it salable. He had excellent contractors that did the work and particularly the total renovating of the kitchen in just two weeks. This had been the major issue to buyers. He has a very engaging personality and gave us excellent advice throughout the five months he worked with us including the four months the house was on the market. Overall, Mr Billups and his wife, Virginia, also partner sales agent, did an outstanding job.

When we were looking to sell our home, we were simultaneously in the market for a new home as well. We truly appreciated Virginias knowledge and honest approach in what it takes to get a home ready to sell. Davids solid experience enabled us to find our new home and having to sell/buy at the same time went as smoothly as anyone can wish. They were available for us any time, day and night if we had any questions. We found them both to be patient and kind as we maneuvered through every step.

Professional in every interpretation of the word, they handled my property quickly, courteously, attentively, and at a price point that was fair and palatable. They answered every question I had and some I didnt have...much to my advantage. They have been my representatives and have acted just so. I would be more than pleased to respond personally to anyone that would like to question me about their performance, but Ill quickly warn that I would be incapable of any commentary that wasnt complimentary.

At the same time, he helped us find renters for our old house and secure a lease agreement. Just recently we it was time for us to sell our old home, so we of course turned to David again to help us. Within days of going on the market, we had several offers, and we closed quickly without any issues. We would highly recommend David and are so happy with everything he's done for us.

Review Our new home at Greensprings became available earlier than we expected. We suddenly had to move and weren't sure where to start. Fortunately we connected with Dave Billups and his wife Virginia. David has a pleasant personality. He made recommendations and did precisely what he promised to do. He created a schedule of steps to be completed before the sale so we knew how the process was going.. Once the house was empty his professional workmen made needed repairs to our home. They also transformed our yard into something lovely. Then David's crew made an enticing video of the property to post with the sales notice. Once the house hit the market David kept of informed of issues and offers. He was always available to answer questions. Our house sold quickly. We felt David was an honest broker working on our behalf. He did everything a seller could want. We highly recommend David.

David was an expert negotiater and we were lucky to avoid paying closing costs and purchased the home for less than the sale price. Both were incredibly responsive and professional.

So when we decided to list our home on September 12th, David and Virginia were our first and only choice. Virginia did an excellent job of staging our home for the photo shoot and Open House. Due to their expertise and knowledge of the market we received two offers after only one Open House and above the listed price.We would strongly recommend to assist in selling or purchasing a home.
