ZillowVERIFIED Sadly, every chance he worked with us it got worse and worse. Should have fired him. On top of that, the last walk through he says its ok to meet Sunday morning. Shows up for 15 min and says how he really has to get out of there and is busy...... the amount of things we missed bc he couldn't even be available at a walk through and locked us out the house, is unreal. Shows up at closing in shorts and a t-shirt and on his phone , anytime we saw him, his goodbyes were without even looking at you, like he couldn't be bothered bc his phone was going off and we were never a priority. Terrible experience

ZillowVERIFIED Joel Dinse helped me sell a property in Hampton, Virginia. The property needed a new kitchen and several other improvements before it was ready to sell, and Joel helped connect me with a contractor who could complete the work. Joel communicated well throughout the entire process and kept me informed as the transaction progressed. He was professional, knowledgeable about the local market, and a valuable resource from preparing the property through closing. I would recommend Joel to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Hampton area.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently worked with Joel Dinse at A Better Way Realty to sell our Norfolk condo. Joels deep market expertise allowed him to price the condo exactly where it needed to be, resulting in a fast sale at full asking price. Because we are out-of-town sellers, we were grateful for Joels hands-on approach. He made numerous trips to the property to ensure the entire process stayed on track. One of the best perks of working with Joel is that he has a network of contractors who get paid directly at closing. This meant we didn't have to pay out-of-pocket ahead of time for necessary repairs and upgrades. The contractor pricing we felt was very reasonable for completely painting the interior, replacing the flooring, installing a new vanity, changing several light fixtures, and several other punch-list items. Joel facilitated a completely remote closing, further saving us time and expense. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and full-service realtor in the Norfolk areaaEUR"especially if you are managing a sale from afaraEUR"we highly recommend Joel Dinse.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling a property for the first time can be daunting, but Joel made the entire experience a breeze. Right from the start, he focused on understanding my circumstances and timeline, building a strategic plan that matched my expectations with market trends to maximize profit. Joel executed every phase with precision, masterfully handling everything from upgrade construction and staging to the final listing and paperwork. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this process. Joel knows real estate; there is no need to look any further when you find yourself in the market, whether you are buying or selling.

ZillowVERIFIED Seamless experience was knowledgeable on the market and got me to the end with no complaints even when I moved out of town. Talked through all of the options at the start and was clear on every step forward and had reccomendations for people to get stuff done around the house and for closing/notary. Cannot recommend them enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Joel was amazing throughout the whole process. When we first listed the house, we had a lot of interest. Then the market came to a standstill with the government shutdown. Joel told us not to worry it would pick back up . It took some time , but he kept me in the loop the whole way. He gave great advise on some big decisions and they paid off. I would recommend Joel to anyone looking for a Great realtor. I went with Joel to sell my house because he was also the one who sold it to me. So wether your buying or selling , highly recommend giving Joel a call.

ZillowVERIFIED Joel was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire process. We toured a few homes and then took a break for a few months before continuing our search, Joel remained available for any questions and he was there for us every step of the way. Truly made home buying feel like an easy process.

ZillowVERIFIED Joel's work ethic and dedication to his job and his clients are phenomenal. We found a few houses on Zillow on a Saturday that we wanted to check out. Joel called us back within a minute. He came out early on a Sunday morning to show us the handful of houses we selected to view. Joel is resourceful and full of helpful information. He was never pushy, always making us decide for ourselves, and always helpful when we needed his advice or expertise. We found our dream home that day, and had no reservations about asking Joel to be our agent. He made the remainder of the process very smooth and easy, always being there when we needed him, including on weekends. Anytime we had questions along the way, he had an answer within a few hours. I highly recommend Joel.

ZillowVERIFIED Of the four Real Estate agents we talked to, only Joel offered to pay to have his team do all repairs preparatory to putting the house up for sale and then take the cost out of the back end when the house sold. His team did a terrific job in painting and repairing any item that needed attention. This relieved us of having to find a qualified repair team and pay for repairs out of pocket up front. Joel did a terrific job of staging the house, advertising it, and then doing all the work to close. We were very happy with the sale and appreciated all the communication during the process. Thanks, Joel! Great job!

ZillowVERIFIED I was an out of town seller who had a rental property in Suffolk that I used to live in. I looked up top sellers in the area and found Joel. He made the process effortless. Communication was perfect any time of the week and he always called back in a timely fashion. He helped with repairs and even mowed the lawn himself during a slow period in the process. I would use Joel for every real estate transaction if I could!

ZillowVERIFIED I am a first time home buyer and having Joel on my side was the best part of the whole process. After going through about 4 realtors and walking through about 5 horrible houses each one of them never had one negative thing to say about a house and it felt like they just wanted me to buy something so they can move on. But once we met Joel, he was extremely honest about each house and had so much attention to detail that it felt like he was honestly looking at each house as if he was making the purchase for himself. Up until meeting him I was stressed and felt like every realtor and lender did not have my best interest. He was extremely professional and was available whenever I had questions. Another thing that was so unique was after talking with so many realtors I told them exactly what kind of home I was looking for and each realtor would just send me countless emails of every single home that came on the market and tell me "hurry this home won't last" which was overwhelming and not helpful at all but Joel was the first one to send recommendations that actually fit. He was the first one to tell me please don't buy this house its not a good deal. Before we saw a house you could tell he had done his homework and knew what he was talking about. Even after finding a house he made sure everything I originally asked for was repaired or in the final contract before closing when I was thinking of waiving things or just agreeing to them. I think the most important thing about working with him is knowing you are having someone who literally has your best interest in mind. I love the house he was able to get me and if I could buy another one just to work with him again I would.

ZillowVERIFIED Very patient, very informative, very responsive, very helpful! He did went up and down(literally and figuratively) help us secure the offer and nail the closing. He climbed up the attic to help confirm there's no leak, he scheduled extra meetings with the seller just because we needed to measure the room dimensions.

Joel really went the extra mile for us in make sure to send us detailed information, videos/pictures of any listing we liked and was always available when we had questions. Buying process very smooth and quick and we love the house. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED From the very first meeting Joel has been great. We had picked some houses to look at, and he picked one he thought fit our description of what we were looking for. And in the end he was right , we went with his house. He has went above and beyond our expectations of an agent. We had a difficult time with our broker for the lender, and Joel just kept on them . His communication with us was impeccable. I knew when he told me he was going to call or find something out , never had to worry. I would recommend Joel to anyone looking for a Great agent. We would absolutely work with Joel again.

ZillowVERIFIED Joel met to show me a house I wanted to look at even though my pre qualification was not in place. I fired my 1st realtor because she was not responsive. Joel was the complete opposite! He was responsive and made sure I knew every step Id go through. The process has its ups and downs but through it all Joel was there to answer my questions and give me all the info I needed. Thank you Joel!!

ZillowVERIFIED It has been an exciting and fulfilling experience! We are proud New owners of our Home and property! Thanks to Joel's commitment to help us find what we were looking for and better. We didn't have to settle for less. Because of his careful attention to my reactions in several viewings he was able to get us several key bonuses like a pool for the grandchildren and plenty of garden space for a green house with an area for my future goats and chickens . We are forever grateful !

ZillowVERIFIED Joel was amazing to work with. My husband, mother and I are buying our first home and we were very nervous and didn't know what was to come. Joel was very professional and made this process super easy and quick. He responded to every text and phone call right away. I wouldn't go thru this process without him and his team. If you are looking to buy a home and not sure who to go to, give this guy a call. You won't regret it!

ZillowVERIFIED Joel was like a one man militant when he stepped in to find us the house bought. He went all out and was responsive to emails and text messages anytime we reached out. In fact, I think there are people who has a gift for customer service. I think Joel is one of them. He negotiated our deal for us and we for way lesser than we were supposed to. If you are looking at Virginia market place to buy, call Joel Dinse. That man knows what he's doing.
