QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What owners ask us first.

What is a Home Decision Report?

A free, confidential report prepared for you and reviewed by a person. It compares the paths you choose: listing for sale, a cash offer now, renting with professional management, or keeping the home. You receive it within 48 hours of answering a few short questions.

How is the Property Intelligence Report™ different?

It is our full executive seller advisory, prepared by a broker for owners preparing a sale: a Property Intelligence Score™, three pricing scenarios, a Seller Decision Matrix™ and a 10-step Executive Action Plan™. It is also complimentary and begins with a conversation with a broker.

Do I have to sell?

No. Many owners are better served by keeping or renting their home. We show every option on its merits, including the ones that don't involve selling, and S&K Property Management can manage a rental if that is your best path.

Can you give me a cash offer?

Yes. We can bring a cash offer and compare it side by side with listing, so you can see the real difference in speed, certainty and net proceeds before you decide.

Do you work with VA buyers and military families?

Yes. Black Lion is veteran-led, with more than 21 years of Army leadership behind it, and we understand PCS timelines and the VA home loan process. Your loan itself comes from a licensed lender, and we can introduce you to one.

What areas do you serve?

All of Hampton Roads: Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, James City County, York County, Poquoson, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk.

How quickly will I hear from you?

You receive an email from us within minutes of submitting a request, and a licensed member of the team reaches you within one business day by the method you choose.

Does any of this cost me anything?

No. Both reports and the first conversation are complimentary, with no obligation.

What is The Lock and Key?

Our free newsletter on the Hampton Roads housing market, published twice a month on Saturday morning, with practical tips for owners, buyers, renters and landlords.

Who will I work with?

The Black Lion Alpha team at eXp Realty, led by Kerry Ferdinand, Associate Broker and Team Lead, from our office at 13176 Jefferson Ave, Suite D, Newport News.
