"We worked with Pat, whom we met a year ago. Having the right Realtor with years of experience definitely makes a big difference financially. Pat went above and beyond, taking care of every detail and helping us find the perfect home in our budget. Cannot recommend him enough! Can’t forget about Keith, who was a great wingman during the crawlspace inspection. He also has some really good BBQ sauces."

"Five stars for Keith Eakes! Keith was absolutely fantastic in helping us buy our home. His knowledge of the Sandbridge and Virginia Beach area is unmatched, but what we appreciated most was his honesty and dedication. He guided us through every step of the process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and easy. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about his clients and knows the market inside and out, look no further than Keith and the Sandbridge Life Realty Group. We couldn't be happier with our new home!"

"I have known Pat since 2012, when I purchased my house in Sandbridge. Pat stands ahead of the pack with respect to his professionalism, knowledge, and integrity. His demeanor is very approachable. His knowledge of the market is very impressive. He can help with any aspect of home purchasing. He knows the Sandbridge market. I rented my house for five years before moving in. He gave me the numbers needed to make an intelligent decision. Even though I give Pat 5 stars across the board, I will say his integrity is 5 stars plus. That really makes a difference to me. He is really there to help you throughout the entire process, and integrity is the foundation. You feel he is really looking out for your best interests. I recently referred a dear friend to Pat with respect to the purchase of a condo. Her sentiments and experience echoed mine. The process was smooth, and he was there to hold her hand all the way through the closing. Better than that, he follows up to make sure things went well. Pat, I may be in the market for an additional condo. I know who I will call. Thanks, Pat!"

"Pat was referred to us by Sandbridge locals after trying out two other disastrous realtors. As absentee owners of a rental property, we needed someone we could trust and who would advise us if the house needed attention. We found that in Pat. He found us the right buyer, at the right time, and at the price we wanted. Sandbridge is a unique market, and going with Pat was the best decision we made. No hesitation in recommending him!"

"At first, I tried to sell my property myself and was then referred to Pat. It just felt like the right move from the first time we met. A professional video started things off, along with a few suggested action items. Pat was there every step of the process and showed our farm to quite a few interested parties. We negotiated several offers and were given excellent advice throughout the process. There were a number of challenges that had nothing to do with Pat. After quite an adventure, we successfully closed, and my wife and I could not be more pleased with our choice of Pat Barton and would not hesitate to recommend Pat and his very capable staff!"

"Pat Barton and his SBH team are outstanding! Pat's personal style is low-key but extremely effective. The staging and showing experience was amazing. The still and aerial photography used for marketing our home was well beyond our expectations. Also, due to Pat's long experience in Hampton Roads, he was able to recommend contractors to address every staging or Home Inspection requirement during the sale process. The tools that Pat provided to us for our new home search were also very effective and timely. Although it took us a while to find the right house for us, Pat stuck with us and provided all the information we needed to make the right choice. Thank You, Pat and the entire SBH Team!"

"Pat and his team did a fantastic job helping my aunt purchase her home. She hadn’t moved in 52 years. Pat’s experience and calm demeanor helped my aunt feel reassured when the hiccups of selling her previous home out of state impacted this transaction. He navigated the situation and brought us to a close brilliantly. This is the second home I’ve used SBH, and I’d recommend him highly."

"I highly recommend Pat Barton of Sandbridge Life Realty for selling or buying your home. Pat knows the Sandbridge area and history. He provides unique insight into Sandbridge properties. Pat has assisted me in looking at properties, providing honest assessments, including whether he knows there are issues. I recently sold my condo with the assistance of Pat and his team. They stage the condo prior to taking photos and making a beautiful video. Pat‘s team ensured that my unit was in shape to be shown. Given that we weren’t a rental, he showed our unit to potential buyers who wanted an understanding of the condo complex and units. Pat assisted in dealing with the buyer and their multiple demands, including clearing out the furniture that the buyer didn’t want. I would work with Pat again in my future real estate endeavors."
