What Our Agents Say: Success Stories

I can't imagine being anywhere else!

When I was considering which agencies in town I wanted to interview with, Liz Moore and Associates immediately came to mind. During the 3.5 years of employment with another local agency, I had always been impressed with the caliber of Liz Moore agents that I had had the opportunity to meet. Every agent from Liz Moore consistently exhibited a high level of professionalism, confidence, and a willingness and eagerness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

After I started with Liz Moore and Associates I was amazed at the continuous education and training offered to the Agents so that they could provide the highest level of service to the clients. The classes offered cover every aspect from Listing to Closing. I have even been provided classes that previously I had to pay for--now at no charge to me.

I have now been with LMA for over a year and was asked the other day, if I still enjoy the company and my response was, ”Absolutely-I can’t imagine being anywhere else.”

No Surprises means just that!

Liz Moore and Associates represents everything I know that works in real estate - customer service and care with a personal touch. Support for agents is paramount, so that attention to detail and positive results are passed on to the client...the real reason for our business!"

Just Do It!

I have been with Liz Moore and Associates (LMA) for almost 2 years. I was a successful real estate agent with another company very happy with my personal performance. I was not happy with the management decisions being made that were going to affect my future growth. Many years ago after graduating from college, in what seems like another life, I had a successful career with IBM. Whenever I told someone I worked for IBM, they 'perked up' and listened to what I had to say. Working for Liz Moore is much the same as LMA'S respected reputation within the community is outstanding. LMA management is very 'open' and 'honest' and they provide as much support as you may require depending upon where you are on your career path.

If you are considering LMA as your broker, 'just do it'... you won't be disappointed.

Liz Moore & Associates is the Only Way to Go!

"There are not enough words to express how thrilled I am to be a Liz Moore agent. Liz not only had vision for a better real estate company, but she's accomplished it...and didn't stop there! Every day there are new and creative ideas to be the best. The launch of the Liz Moore Home Journal in the Daily Press is a prime example. I can't imagine working for any other firm. Her commitment to service our clients, as well as her commitment to each agent's well being and happiness, is by far beyond what you will find anywhere else. She stays on top of the market statistics and can spot a trend before it happens, not after the fact. This enables us to be ahead of the market and allows us time to "prepare for, rather than react to" it. I could go on and on!"

I Believe I Know the Real Thing When I See It. Liz is the Real Thing.

"I have been able to work with and for some very good leaders?I have been able to see the difference between leadership and management. Without being critical, she leads the most unassuming individual to be better than they think they can be. She coaches, supports, plans, and leads. She sees things in the future, not the past. I am fortunate to work with her and for her.?

This is Truly a Family!

For an agent such as myself, having transferred a year ago from another company, the experience at Liz Moore and Associates can be summed up in one word: Extraordinary!

For Liz, providing her agents with every possible innovation and resource is paramount to better serve each of our clients.

First class marketing is provided for us by a superb, resourceful staff. Pre-inspections and pre-appraisals of listings enable sellers to go under contract with negative surprises. For buyers, we have daily in-house top flight mortgage officers from the local area, ready to answer any questions about financing. This is along with the first class Lytle Title Company on site and the resources of attorney Brian Lytle, Liz’ partner. At closing, our wonderful concierge provides invaluable logistical assistance to both buyers and sellers.

And if this were not enough to make any agent’s life easier, the continual education we receive on every aspect of conducting our business, is an invaluable asset to new agents and transfers alike. The state mandated credit courses, along with weekly round tables on everything from home inspections to finance and everything in between, provide us with the latest on every detail to enhance our business savvy..

All the above is done in a positive, enthusiastic atmosphere, with agents and staff who respect, appreciate and care for each other. This is truly a family!

All of this is possible because Liz wants what is most beneficial for all of us and our clients, and she leads by example. It is a joy to be associated with Liz Moore, the person at the helm, and the company!

Now I know for sure, no one does real estate better like Liz Moore!

If I had known then what I know now, I definitely would have joined Liz Moore and Associates sooner. Within 10 minutes of meeting Donna Moyer, I realized I was finally in an organization where I can be proud to call my home. I?ve had the privilege of working for amazing leaders while I was serving in the military, but I honestly did not expect to find another organization that embodied the same principles of Integrity, Service Before Self, and Excellence. To my surprise, I found just that here at Liz Moore and Associates. Donna Moyer and Liz Moore go above and beyond to exceed the expectations of our clients. They are constantly raising the bar on everything from customer service, to training and technology?always keeping us at the tip of the sphere. In today?s market, it is imperative that agents have the right tools and training to be successful and with Liz Moore and Donna Moyer as mentors, you simply cannot go wrong. Now I know for sure, no one does real estate better than Liz Moore! I am honored and blessed to be a part of the Liz Moore Team.

The Company You Keep

In real estate, you're known by the company you keep . I owe my continued success in this profession to my association AND positive influence of Liz Moore and Associates.
Selecting the right company is essentially the right key. Liz Moore and Associates is a company that respects it's agents and practices, encourages growth and new ideas, and above all, supports your ambition and initiative.
The most compelling reason however is the company's ability to cope with the changing market landscape. Liz Moore stepped outside of the typical outmoded real estate boundaries of selling and creatively developed an edge to outdistance the competition. IT WORKS !

Referral Network - LMA Realty

LMA Realty referral check

What is a Referral Company?

A “referral company” is a real estate brokerage created for the purpose of connecting prospective home buyers and sellers with top agents on the Virginia Peninsula, in Williamsburg and across the country.

Who are Typical Referral Agents?

  • Some of our agents have retired from successful real estate careers, and still enjoy connecting past clients and active agents.
  • Some of our agents found that selling real estate full time just wasn’t their cup of tea, but since they worked hard for their license, they wanted to capture referral opportunities.
  • Some of our agents are waiting for a more opportune time to embrace a real estate career, perhaps after they retire from the military or when children are a bit older, but wanted to be involved and connected.
  • Many others are simply interested in making some extra money, and appreciate that this is a simple way to do it.

How Does it Work?

Referral Associates can earn referral fee income by simply picking up the phone and passing along the name of a prospective lead that eventually buys or sells a home through the system. When the transaction closes, the referral agent receives a portion of the commission.

Example:

Sales Price Brokerage Fee 25% Referral Fee Referral Associate Income
$250,000 3% $1,875 $937.50*

*Referral commission splits increase based on closed referrals in a calendar year. LMA referral associates can earn up to 75% of the brokerage fee.

What Does it Cost to Join?

Because the brokerage does not belong to local, state and national REALTOR® organizations, referral associates do not have to incur membership dues, MLS fees or other expenses normally associated with a real estate career.

Because referral associates are limited in their practice, they do not need errors and omissions insurance, as well as other ongoing expense commitments that full time agents are responsible for.

There are no administrative fees to join or annual dues to pay to belong to LMA Realty.

If You Already Have a License

If you already have an active real estate license with another firm, it’s easy. It only costs $60 (payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, and submitted with transfer paperwork to DPOR**).

If you have an inactive real estate license, you must bring your continuing education and license renewal requirements up to date, and then it only costs $60 (payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, and submitted with activate paperwork to DPOR).

If You are Interested in Obtaining a License

If you are interested in obtaining a real estate license, you must first attend a Principles of Real Estate course (either classroom or online), pass a final classroom exam, and pass the state real estate licensing exam.

Once that is completed, it costs $170 (payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, and submitted with initial salesperson paperwork to DPOR).
