  3. John we could not be more delighted with the house/neighborhood/town.

    I’ve been meaning to write you to tell you how much we appreciated all of your help in finding and buying our little piece of paradise here in Williamsburg. We appreciated your thorough knowledge of the market; your quick response to any inquiry no matter how small; your expertise (and honesty) in spotting things that needed attention in various houses; your low-pressure attitude; and the immense patience you displayed during our long house hunt. I always had the feeling that you truly wanted us to find the best place for us not just a place that would provide a quick sale. Our buying experience was immeasurably enhanced by all that your amazing assistant Amy did for us. She went above and beyond to make our purchase as stress-free as possible. She really is a credit to your team.

  4. John has extraordinary abilities to understand your needs

    Other reviewers on multiple sites testify John Womeldorf is a superb real estate agent for both buyers and sellers. For my part I am here to stress if you are a buyer presently based outside Williamsburg area looking to relocate you absolutely should hire John Womeldorf aka Mr. Williamsburg. Don’t waste your time considering anyone else. Different situations mandate different skill sets. Most otherwise good enough agents lack. His communication skills on the phone are unparalleled. By investing just a few minutes on the phone with him he will be able to rapidly guide you to ideal properties. Don’t shortchange yourself by dismissing the label Mr. Williamsburg as a marketing ploy. He deserves the honor of being called Mr. Williamsburg in every dimension of the term. Most relevant here he couples his comprehensive knowledge of this community with a rare ability. He educates you on what you need to know about this community only when you need to know it. He never drowns you in extraneous information just to show off his expertise. Our interactions with him were always delightfully efficient because he took the trouble to listen to us carefully beforehand. Moreover in our particular situation he had an extra advantage over other agents that may mirror the needs of other out of town buyers. We sold our existing home some 600 Miles away from Williamsburg prior to buying here. We wanted to be cash buyers. Although thanks to Mr. Williamsburg’s efforts we quickly submitted the winning bid on our ideal home here we still were in need of a short term furnished rental prior to the formal closing of our purchase transaction. In a tourist area like Williamsburg a short term rental could have been obnoxiously expensive. Fortunately John has a couple of nearby rental properties that he usually uses as Airbnbs. He offered a solution to us that we found attractive. Our short term rental from him came fully furnished in an delightful area. Indeed whenever you encounter an obstacle please share it with John. He is a creative problem solver. Hire him.

  5. He truly is Mr. Williamsburg!

    John and his team helped us find our new home in Williamsburg. Living about six hours away during a red hot real estate market John was extremely helpful with guiding us to neighborhoods that matched our wants and needs. He worked well with us to see homes quickly. We also appreciated his honest and frank evaluations of homes we were considering. His contractor knowledge from flipping homes was invaluable in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of homes we were considering. He knows the housing the area the neighborhoods schools shopping etc. so well. He truly is Mr. Williamsburg! We highly recommend him as your real estate agent whether buying or selling. On top of his professional attributes John’s just a nice guy! Very easy to work with and discuss anything.

  7. I can’t say enough

    I can’t say enough good things about working with Gayle Peace. Her enthusiasm professionalism knowledge of her market and responsiveness to my questions made selling my home of 45 years easier than I could have imagined. To have had her friendship during this process was a delight.

  8. I highly recommend John!

    John was exceptionally knowledgeable about all the different neighborhoods within Williamsburg. As first time buyers John explained the entire process and helped us understand our best options. He was very accessible and referred us to great contractors. We are very happy with our new home!

  9. John was very good at listening to us ….

    and helping us maneuver the house buying process from a distance and during a very strange time in the real estate market. He kept a wonderful attitude even when we were a bit vague about our desires and helped us narrow down our search and find a house we are really enjoying. His article about the local golf courses was very helpful for my husband in his search for the proper fit. John had an amazing depth of knowledge about the area services and useful contacts. We always felt comfortable with having him represent us and recommend him highly.

  10. John was the key to us getting an incredible house

    His local knowledge and speed in learning of upcoming listings made all the difference. John got us in the house first helped us write a strong offer and pulled out all the stops before during and after closing. I loved that John called in specialty inspectors to address my larger concerns and pulled quotes to help me understand the true impact of upcoming R&M. His recommended lender was equally helpful and responsive even during Memorial Day weekend! If you want a Realtor who knows exactly what is going on in the local Williamsburg VA market and will put you first in line call John Womeldorf.”

  11. John did a terrific job!

    He was great to work with from the very beginning of this process and never let up. I am happy to provide a glowing – and accurate – testimonial or reference for John

  12. I highly recommend John!

    Hate high-pressure salespeople? Want to avoid surprises just before closing delaying or even jeopardizing your purchase? If you only want to work with a true professional surrounded by a team that provides courteous consistent support then John Womeldorf (Mr. Williamsburg) is your only choice. John has stuck with us through my many questions and concerns; in the end we found and purchased the perfect piece of land. Our property was a significant purchase for us and leaving the details to chance was not an option.

  13. John was always responsive…

    …to questions and concerns that we would text him with. As clients living out of state John left us completely confident that everything was being done that was necessary with our home purchase. Early in the process he would always avail himself to us when we needed him or had questions on particular properties and he would always notify us when something fitting our criteria had come on the market. He always taught us something new about the area as he is quite the subject matter expert on Williamsburg. He even taught us some back ways that residents know and use but are off the beaten path of the tourists. Later in the process after we had found the “retirement home of our dreams” he kept us up on everything we needed to know about the process. Now even after closing he has been there for us for many different things. He isn’t just an excellent realtor he’s genuinely a great fun person to be around!

  15. John is a great realtor.

    We have know John Womeldorf for nearly 10 years and have had several transactions with him. He is very knowledgeable and very focused on the needs and wants of his clients. John identified for us that this property was for sale at auction the notice for which we had not seen. John also guided us through the auction process so that we could win the bid at a reasonable cost.

  16. John made our transaction was a breeze!

    John not only sold our property he also found us a home in Colonial Heritage in 2018 sold our nephew’s home just last week and is currently working with my sister to find a home. He’s become a member of our family! His easy-going friendly demeanor has always put us at ease. His knowledge of the area is amazing!

  17. John is by far the best realtor…

    I’ve ever worked with. His negotiating skills and connections are outstanding. I felt like we had tapped into the best realty network in Williamsburg. John found us a house that wasn’t even listed! He was tireless in his efforts to find a home for us in Windsor Forest. Amazing! John went above and beyond. I will definitely refer him!

  18. John is miles ahead of any agent we

    My wife & I have done many real estate transactions together & John is miles ahead of any agent we have used…. He just helped us in the purchase of a new townhome which we did from out of state and the process could not have been made more seamless. First and foremost John listens and responds and communicates well. He knows his area and lets people “buy” rather than be “sold”. He will be present when touring properties yet give you personal space as you move through a home giving you time to take things in without feeling like someone’s standing over your shoulder. He is also calm knowing when to talk and when to be quiet. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a more professional individual. His comprehensive knowledge and love of Williamsburg makes for a great way to get to know the area. We’re grateful to have had him in our corner every step of the way.”

  19. John is the most responsive and most knowledgeable realtor I have ever known

    and that is after 10 former house purchases! John sold our house quickly with a most professional package targeting the right buyer. This man will go to bat for you and will tirelessly earn your business. John is also a trustworthy and honorable person to be on your team for buying or for selling. 5 stars!”

  20. John embodies the phrase Exceeds Expectations.”

    My wife and I have worked with many Realtors over the years a few of whom were excellent. John blows them out of the water. No exaggeration. The sale of our home presented many unexpected difficulties and John handled them immediately and with much kindness. You can’t do better.”

  21. Found a dream home thanks to Mr. Williamsburg John Womeldorf

    In fact it’s a home we never even dreamed we’d own. We’re patient and methodical and in our search for a great place to touch down in retirement we kept coming back to Williamsburg VA. Initially we worked tried realtors recommended by friends/family. Those didn’t really work as we felt our clearly communicated desires were not given enough consideration to avoid wasting time. I appreciated the breadth of information John made available about the area and life in Williamsburg so I reached out. Plus he had great reviews! We worked thru the summer emailing texting and taking a few trips. In the end an incredible home at crazy good price came up. We loved it online John confirmed it as a great deal; and at this point we’d cultivated such a rapport and level of trust that we bought the house sight unseen. John was with us every step of the way and represented our best interests regarding acquiring the property. Transition has been an amazingly smooth and almost unreal experience. All owed to John.

  22. I will recommend John to everyone I know!

  23. John made the process go smoothly.

    He sold the property in one showing and got the deal closed! He Gave appropriate advice of listing price and expected market price. He also provided advice on how we should counter buyers offer and requests.

  24. John was just outstanding…

    he helped us with everything we needed. I strongly recommend John. My wife and I were very very pleased. He made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the whole process.

  25. We highly recommend John Womeldorf as a realtor.

    In our case we were looking for a retirement home in Williamsburg. Given we do not live in Williamsburg we were a little worried navigating through the process from afar. John was there for us every step of the way. And if you are wondering if his title Mr. Williamsburg” is true we can tell you it absolutely is! John knows everything about Williamsburg. More importantly he has a tremendous network of people who can help you with anything; from contractors to landscapers he knows them all. John Womeldorf is a true real estate professional and we are grateful he helped us find our dream home!
