The Downing Team

I have had some really cool jobs throughout my life, but this is the one that combines all my passions and strengths into one area. In 11 years in the real estate business, first as the owner of my own real estate photography company and now as an agent, that hasn't changed. I love serving people-paying attention to find those small things that people really enjoy and doing them. I love the detail

s-must be from years of being a reporter and newspaper editor, but I catch the small things that people miss that can make a big difference if overlooked. I love the challenge of looking at homes with buyers, really listening to their feedback and putting the pieces of the puzzle together until we find that perfect house. I enjoy putting a care package together for a buyer that is five states away and introducing all the things that I love about our area. I'm passionate about working with military families who are once again putting everything they own in a box and shipping it all across the country. I am the person that listens to them, is their advocate and resource. In my 22 years as a military spouse, we have come across some great agents that I want to emulate, and some not so good ones that were great examples of how not to do things. I use these lessons learned to provide exemplary service to my clients. I believe in doing all the things that make a difference for my listings. Many clients pay extra for things like professional photography and staging. Every one of my listings benefits from my expertise in real estate photography and I provide a complimentary consultation with an Accredited Staging Professional for each home. Whether relocating to this area, upsizing, downsizing or simply looking for something different, it would be my pleasure to help you buy or sell the perfect home in Hampton Roads.
