Vernon Mason III has over 26 years of sales experience in hospitality, retail, banking, business management, finance, and real estate. As an active agent and investor in Virginia, Vernon developed a unique talent for listing management and buyer negotiations. Powered by his experience, education, and community involvement with local and nationwide organizations, Vernon is determined to provide the
highest level of client service with the up-most honesty, integrity, and distinction. Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Vernon grew up determined to strive in a military career like his bloodline going back three generations. From the Navy to the Marines, his family have dedicated their time to serve our nation. With his heart set on the United States Army, an unfortunate and almost life threatening event happened that disqualified him from his highly sought after career. He was diagnosed with a rare and dangerous heart virus that forced multiple open heart surgeries. However, that didn't stop Vernon from finding another path to success and serving our communities. Instead of quitting, Vernon went on to earn his bachelors degree, the first in his family. From the University of Arkansas, he double majored in Marketing and Economics. He then moved from state to state for various career management driven opportunities until he set his sights on Virginia Beach. In love with its culture, history, and natural beauty, Vernon made his decision to move in October, 2011 to the Oceanfront and quickly became a true local. After bad experiences with real estate agents, Vernon decided that the community needed his help to improve the buying and selling experience. Vernon also actively participates in community events such as Watch D.O.G.S. for elementary schools, Habitat for Humanity, and various school organizations and was awarded the Presidential Community Service Award by President Barrack Obama in 2016. In his off time, he enjoys renovating distressed properties to rejuvenate communities, training in martial arts, staying active in the gym, playing sports on and off the beach, and enjoying every second with his family. Vernon has developed a very unique skill to address any issue in finance and real estate by creating out of box solutions to meet the needs of every buyer and seller. Give him your time and business and you'll see why Vernon is one of the most respected and dependable agents in the business. His motto from Henry Ford:
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success".
