Norville Realty...

Where Service Is Second To None!

Our Customers Say It Best...

In a difficult market, the experience of the folks at Norville Realty made the difference. They navigated us through unfamiliar and tumultuous times in trying to sell an upper mid-range house in Ortega Forest. They knew when to adjust the price but kept it within our reasonable sale price range and got it closed when it seemed nothing else was moving. Any broker will do in a hot market; but in this market we could not have been more pleased by the insight, professionalism, hard work, and responsiveness of Norville Realty (not to mention the good result).

"When we decided to sell our home, we wanted a Realtor who was friendly, enthusiastic about her job, knew her business, would point out the many great features of our home and would sell our home as quickly as possible. We found that and so much more in Norville Realty's Laura McLaughlin. She made some wonderful suggestions for getting our home ready, developed a creative selling plan and gave us excellent feed-back after showing the house, and guided us through the selling process "all the way to the bank". Our home sold in 3 weeks which is most unusual in todays market! She did it with class and efficiency. We are forever greatful for her guidance and help!

P.S. Our home was on the market for 6 month prior to contacting Laura and was shown to over 12 "lookers". It wasn't until we switched to Norville that wonderful things happened.

Toy Scott is the agent you want when you are serious about selling or buying property. She has consistently been the ingredient that has brought my sales/purchases to fruition when all looked lost. She has worked with me on at least 6 transactions that I can recall over the last decade, and each time I have ben impressed with her ability to find the right people to do just the right work to tweak a deal into reality, whether it is termite report issues, financing, inspections, arranging to work around less than cooperative tenants, and sometimes less than cooperative buyers/sellers.

Toy has a southern belle's sociability coupled with a New-England sensibility when it comes to finding solutions to challenges standing between a buyer and seller. One can always count on her yeoman work ethic and pristine attention to detail ensure that all the myriad details that stand between the general agreement and actually exchanging money and deeds are completed seamlessly.

I have always been able to count on her to give me a realistic evaluation of the market, both when buying and selling. With realistic information in hand I have always been able to move my properties in a timely fashion, when selling, and to make realistic offers when buying. With her deep asset of contacts in the industry, her formidable understanding of the markey, and her boundless southern charm, she is a delight to work with. When one knows that the ship is in able hands, one is able to sit back and enjoy the ride...

"I have been fortunate enough to work with Elizabeth and Susan for several years and have the highest regard for their ability to deliver outstanding results.
They make closings happen when others had tried and failed
They get buyers and sellers to the table with their unique team approach.
They professionally quarterback the whole process so effectively that the buyers and sellers only see a smooth transaction.
They market very well within their network of friends, family, coworkers and acquaintances to shorten the time on market
For example, I strongly recommended Elizabeth and Susan to my brother in law who was interviewing realtors to sell my in-laws' home on Long Bow Road.
Not only did they capture the listing but
1) brought one of their personal friends to contract as the buyer
2) managed all the surprise repairs without losing the buyer
3) chose a highly qualified closing agent who did a superb job
4) and most importantly, were able to professionally handle the 5 siblings involved on the seller side
What a team!! I LOVE being a part of it!"

"Linda Strickland is the only agent I think of when I have a friend or client who needs to buy or sell a home. She has lived in Jacksonville all her life which makes her uniquely qualified to assist new arrivals and current residents in finding just the right home and neighborhood. She found me my first home in 1993, and I have been a fan of hers ever since. Whether she lists your home or finds you the right one to buy, you will come to know her has as a high-energy, consummate professional who sincerely cares about your satisfaction. She is the kind of person you continue to stay in touch with long after the closing. I hope whoever reads this will take advantage of Linda’s expertise and commitme nt to service. By definition an “agent” is a person who should always have your best interest in mind. Linda Strickland fits that description without fail.
Sincerely,"

"Being a first time homebuyer can be stressful, but not when working with Jamie Goodroe at Norville Realty! I cannot begin to adequately express my deep appreciation and gratitude for all that you did to help us through this grueling house-buying process. We were continually grateful for your warmth and heartfelt friendliness during those moments when we got discouraged. Thank you so very, very much for all the guidance and many little extras that you provided. WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!!!
Thanks,"

"In January 2006, after moving from Mississippi, Mr. David Taylor was our Real Estate agent.  At that time he was employed by Norville Realty, Inc.  Mr Taylor was extremely professional and he always went beyond his way of meeting the customer needs.
In addition to Mr Taylor's professional and reliable service, he is a very pleasant person and is fun to work with.  Therefore, I would highly recommend him either for selling or buying a home.
Sincerely Yours,"

Dear Winfield Duss
"Thanks again for handling the sale and closing of my house.  After living there for 57 years, I was afraid it would be a long and painful experience, especially in the current market, but you handled everything in a calm and professional manner, much to my delight!
If I ever have another house to sell, I'd want you and Norville to handle it.
With much appreciation,"

Shirley Winterburn
The following letter was sent by the Deopartment Of The Navy to Norville Realty and the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors to nominate Linda Strickland as Realtor of the Year.
"Dear Sir,
Yesterday I received the closing papers and check for the sale of our house in Cypress Village in Jacksonville.  From the time our agent, Linda Shepherd, put up the For Sale sign to now, it only took about a month to finalize the whole transaction.
I am writing to commend her.  She is thoroughly professional - knowledgeable, skillful, thoughtful and sensitive.  You are fortunate to have her on your staff.
Sincerely,"
Howard F. Dentler
