Buying A Home?
We're Here To Help You Every Step Of The Process

Not just bankers and builders. Developers and drywallers. Movers and shakers. But you, the customer. It's our job to get to know you... and connect you with just the right people on your home buying journey.

Get Started
Find the Home that Speaks to You

Find the Home that Speaks to You

Any algorithm can search for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath. But only a real estate agent can spot a kitchen fit for foodies, the open floor plan you covet, or that the den would be perfect for your home office. Your Fonville Morisey agent will also query colleagues and contacts for leads on potential homes that haven't even been listed online yet.

Street Savvy on Value

Street Savvy on Home Values

Our network of professional agents share street-level knowledge of homes that have been sold, where, and for how much. Once you've fallen for a home, your agent will leverage that insight to develop a custom analysis of the property before you make an offer. You'll be able to see what comparable homes have sold for, look at sales trends in the area, and get the numbers you need to make a competitive offer.

Our Network Is Your Network

Our Network Is Your Network

While searching for your ideal home, your agent also rallies the Fonville Morisey family of affiliated services. In many offices, agents work right alongside our trusted partners — the financial consultants of Prosperity Home Mortgage, the risk protection experts at Long and Foster Insurance and our title and home warranty professionals. Your agent will coordinate all the moving parts and make sure you're ready for the big day.

Care Beyond Closing

Care Beyond Closing

We look forward to being your real estate resource for years to come, well after you've purchased your home. As the market changes, we'll keep you updated on increases in your home's value or changes in interest rates. As your life changes, we'll help you make smart investments, not only with strategic improvements to your current home, but in a vacation home or rental property.

Focusing on the Home Features that Matter to You

Finding the right home starts with the most important person in the buying process: you.

As you prepare to meet with an agent, think about your priorities in a new home. Any must-haves? Nice-to-haves? Deal-breakers? We'll want to know.

To start prioritizing, open the topics that matter most to you. Choose your must-haves and drag them onto your top ten list. Pull qualities up or down to rank them, save your list, share it with our team, or send it to a friend.
