Notes from the people we've walked with through buying, selling, and moving on.

Dexter made buying a walk in the park. He did lots of behind the scenes work to keep the stress off of me and did everything he could to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. His communication was amazing. As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of questions, and he never failed to answer them in a timely manner. Thanks, Dexter!

Dexter was very knowledgeable. He made the sale of my home very easy. He was there every step of the way to answer all my concerns. He also helped me with getting rid of things I no longer needed. Thanks Dexter you are awesome.

At Peace Realty exemplifies professionalism and care from a Real Estate Agent. He went above and beyond with both the selling and purchase of our house in less than 48 hours and negotiated better terms till the very last day on all fronts. We couldn’t be more happier with his support, care and service. The process of purchasing and selling can be stressful if you are not familiar with the industry. We were not easy clients with our due diligence queries but he never skipped a beat in helping make this a smooth transaction. We highly recommend him and know you won’t be disappointed!
This was my first house buying experience and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly thanks to my realtors (Pauli and Drew) and their patience. Practically every little thing I even half mentioned being concerned about was explained or fixed quickly! I absolutely loved the whole experience and I’m so excited to start this journey now!

We were introduced to Linda Varney Salzman. Two days later she introduced us to a loan officer at a very well known and reputable bank not only in Virginia but noted in Forbes as well. 3 days later our paperwork came back approved for more than what we expected. Linda worked tirelessly finding us homes to view. Linda always spoke honesty and logic. She explained no one should be house poor just in trying to pay a monthly mortgage. In May 2023 Linda called with a house she wanted us to see. My mom and I were in love as soon as we drove up to the home. Linda’s negotiations got us just what we wanted which included a couple of repairs, at the seller’s expense. I have recommended Linda to so many people. She will always be my realtor of choice.
My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor experience! From the very beginning, Linda Salzman was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She truly listened to what we were looking for, answered every question we had, and guided us through each step with confidence and professionalism. She is incredibly diligent, hardworking, responsive, and truly a pleasure to work with. Linda went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams, and we are genuinely grateful for all of her time, effort, and dedication. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes the extra mile!

What other brokers and agents say about working alongside our team.

Chris Whicker was always one of the most responsive and professional brokers I’ve worked with. He consistently made himself available to help, offered thoughtful guidance, and genuinely cared about the success of the agents he supported. His professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to serve others made a lasting impression, and I highly recommend him.
