Doug was very efficient from start to finish, we felt that he knew what he was doing, and made the process very easy!
Douglas Albert
After retiring from the Navy in 1997 and working in Network Television advertising for the next seven years, a great friend convinced me that Real Estate was the place I should be. I've been practicing full time ever since. When confronted with a hard decision I don't always take the easy way; doing the right thing is not always the easiest. Like I tell my clients and friends, "I was raised not hatched." I don't know any other way to treat people that to treat them like I would want my own family to be treated. l grew up in rural America, and drug a hammer till I could pick it up. Helping my parents renovate houses while we lived in them gave me a skill set that sets me apart from most agents. The combination of my Military Service, Marketing, and Construction backgrounds makes Real Estate a perfect fit. A wise man once said, "Do something you Love and you'll never work another day in your life." I would love the opportunity to assist you with your next Real Estate transaction. Find out why a client of mine once said, "It doesn't cost extra to have Doug Albert, but it just might cost extra not to."...

Doug was suggested to us by our mortgage broker who told us he was also prior military. Upon speaking with Doug, we immediately felt comfortable with his skill set and attention to detail, as well as his personality.
As first-time buyers, we were very overwhelmed and intimidated by the home buying process. Doug made every step easy to understand and made us feel confident that everything would be handled the right way.
Doug went above and beyond to meet our needs and get us the best terms on our contract.
I cannot express enough how much Doug made this process less daunting with his candid attitude. He was always friendly and went out of his way to help us through the process, even if it was just to offer reassurances when we reached out to him late at night about our concerns....

I have used Douglas Albert on several purchases and sales and I am so please with everything he provides me during the process. I can call him anytime with questions and he has always been helpful with issues or problems I have come across in the past. I have always been happy with his insight and recommendations he gives me as we move thru the sale process. I have recomended him to my friends and co-workers and will always use him in the future....

Between my parents and I, we have purchased and/or sold four properties in Virginia Beach with the assistance of Marchell Puckett (ReMax Central Realty) as our broker. Her knowledge, service, and commitment to fulfilling our specific needs was top notch, and she continued to be of service and make herself available throughout the time between deals. Not once had we even considered reaching out to another agent. Unfortunately, I called Marchell to line up the sale of my home and discovered that she was no longer in the area. Knowing my motivations and intent (buy depressed and renovate), she strongly urged that I contact Doug Albert (Nachman Realty) - someone she knew personally with the experience and skill-set to give me sound advice while searching for the next opportunity. She knew he would be great on the sell-side, but she also knew I would be looking to take on another project.
Doug made the sale of my house relatively effortless on my part - preparation, listing, and negotiations were a breeze. The day of the photo shoot, I had yet to install the under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. Doug, willfully and without being solicited, offered up his services and helped complete the installation - which unfortunately took way longer than it should have due to the tediousness of the fixture design. Thankfully, when I suggested we stop and go ahead with the pictures, Doug insisted that we keep going and not take any photos until the lights were up. What a difference it made on the overall feel of the room (can't believe I finally put them up just in time for the next owner to enjoy)…well worth the effort though! The photo shoot went smoothly, the ad was well written, and four showings were booked within two hours of going live (same day as the listing posted). The house went under contract in four days, and closed in roughly four weeks. All in all, Doug made it an extremely smooth and uneventful process.
Quick sale at the right price....
