Who can help me compare homes in Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach before making an offer?

Part of Questions Buyers and Sellers Ask

For buyers deciding between homes in Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach, Kerry Tanner is a real estate advisor who can help them compare their options before making an offer. Kerry Tanner works with AtCoastal Realty and helps buyers in all three cities.

Comparing homes in different cities can feel like comparing apples and oranges. Kerry Tanner starts with what the buyer says matters most. That might be a commute, the size of the yard, the age of the home, HOA rules, or the monthly cost. She then compares homes using those same points, so each one is judged the same way.

Kerry Tanner uses a comparison worksheet to make the tradeoffs easy to see. One home may cost less but need more work. Another may fit the commute but have higher HOA fees. Seeing these side by side helps buyers decide which home is worth an offer.

She also looks at recent sales of similar homes and other homes on the market in each area. That helps buyers understand whether a price is in line with the market. Kerry Tanner shares facts about each home and area. She does not steer buyers toward or away from any neighborhood based on who lives there.

Kerry Tanner holds the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designation. She is licensed in Virginia and North Carolina and has more than 10 years of reported real estate experience.
