LaKeta Burgess - Testimonials

But with LaKeta by our side, it was truly a partnership. She wasn't just our realtor; she became an honorary member of the family through this whole adventure. From the moment we decided to list, LaKeta dove in with an incredible level of dedication. I mean, you talk about someone who devotes her time – she really did. And her patience? Well, let's just say she had enough for all of us, even when we were probably asking the same questions for the third time! Her commitment to helping us every step of the way, from expertly listing our place to working her magic with the staging, pictures, open house, and video…(believe me, it was magic – our home never looked so good!), it was just remarkable. She understood that selling a home isn't just a transaction; it's a big life event, full of memories and a little bit of anxiety. And she navigated it all with such a warm, friendly spirit and a genuine personal touch. It's not every day you find someone who brings that kind of care to their work. So, to LaKeta, from our family to yours, thank you. You made a potentially tough process feel a whole lot smoother, and we're just so grateful. If you're looking for someone who brings their A-game and a big heart, LaKeta is definitely your person. She will be ours for life! Her work comes with our highest recommendations!

Every house that we viewed was perfect! I have already recommended her to others, and will continue to do so.

Her commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of the selling process. She went above and beyond to ensure that my property was presented in its best light, utilizing professional photography and a comprehensive marketing strategy to ensure we received our asking price. Despite her busy schedule, she always made me feel like a priority. LaKeta's responsiveness and availability, whether through phone calls, emails, or virtual meetings, it provided me with a sense of confidence and trust. Her professionalism and integrity were unwavering, and I felt well-supported throughout the entire selling journey. I highly recommended!!

I look forward to working with her again. You won’t be disappointed.

LaKeta Burgess was truly awesome, she was patient in answering the numerous questions we had throughout the process of searching, touring, and closing on our house. She was impressive with her honesty, transparency, and knowledge of the market. Her responsiveness was incredible, and availability to schedule home / video tours for varying schedules and time zones was helpful and truly appreciated. Her energy and calmness help put me at ease in a process that can be quite stressful. She truly listened to what we were looking for, she was honest on what is possible in the market and price range we had in mind. Her critical eye for details and understanding of our needs was excellent. We truly felt heard and felt she was looking out for our needs. We are happy with our new home and thankful for her assistance. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

We were not an easy couple to work with, I was going one way, my husband was going another way, and we were clashing every single way of our journey. However, LaKeta stayed professional at all turns that we were throwing her direction. Our house was on the market for a while. And she was giving us feedback of what would should do in order for the house to move faster. And HERE'S where my husband and I clashed, because I was trying to do what she asked, and he was like, "I don't want to," but eventually he came around (bits and pieces), not at a 100%. And we did what we were supposed to do for us to FINALLY get the house sold. She kept us in a loop of all paperwork that needed to be signed. What paperwork needed to be sent in? So I appreciate everything that she has done. I appreciate that she maintained professionalism. When my husband was throwing rocks in the plan, I appreciate everything she has done from the very beginning to the very end of when we had to close. Till we were finally able to close and I say, if you ever need a realtor she is the person to go to.

She is and was knowledgeable, intentional and professional. She took the time to explain things to me and worked to get this first time homebuyer into a home despite the small turn around time I had. She's been an ally, friend, and advisor and helped me navigate a difficult time to buy a house. My growing family and I are immensely grateful to had had the opportunity to work with her. Thank you, Thank you I will recommend you to everyone I know if they want to receive the best service possible! I will definitely be back to you when it's time to sell and purchase.

She was always there when I had questions. She made me feel like I was important even though I knew she had other clients.

She is a team player and wants her clients to succeed. She sees challenges and creates feasible solutions. Within a short time of working with her I obtained my first investment property in Williamsburg, VA. I look forward to more transactions together.

Also very pleasant and gave great advice ,very seasoned.

She is a seller's and buyer's agent. While conducting business with Laketa by my side I learned a few important facts about her that inspires me to continue future real estate opportunities with Laketa. She is respected in the community. Other agents, settlement companies. and brokers prefer working with her opposed to others. Most importantly, she is always on top of her work load and has the compasity to work with multiple clients all at once. Lastly, she is a trainer and educator. I personally witnessed Laketa train a team of new agents in a servant leadership manner. I have worked with many in the real estate industry and Laketa sets herself ahead of all others. Most importantly...she loves what she does!

I have used her more than once and I got the same results. Someone who takes their time to make sure you understand everything patiently. I see why she’s rated so high.

She made the process as simple as possible, gave honest feedback throughout, and trekked to showings when I was unavailable just to name a few of the many pros of working with her. This is my second time working with LaKeta and if it ever came to it she would be my choice the third time around!!

Despite having a six hour difference between us, she was always available to patiently answer our questions. She is kind, smart and a first rate professional.

Laketa Burgess enough for all the work she put into helping me find a home. Between my credit challenges and being on a tight timeline, she never gave up or made me feel like just another client. She stayed patient, stayed resourceful, and genuinely cared about helping me and my son find the right place—not just any place. She advocated for me, kept me in the loop every step of the way, and when it looked like things might not work out, she stayed locked in. In the end, we found the perfect home at the right price. I’m beyond grateful. If you’re looking for someone who’s not just professional but real, dedicated, and invested in your outcome—Dr. Burgess is who you want on your team. I highly recommend her. -Daniel Daughtry Sr.

She guided us every step of the way and refused to let us settle. As veterans, we sought a realtor who understood the process, and she went above and beyond, even showing us properties via video every weekend. Her knowledge and dedication made the daunting task of purchasing a home from overseas seamless. She is completely trustworthy, transparent, and truly understands her client's wants and needs. A perfect 10/10 recommendation. We will certainly work with her again in the future. She is simply the best!

My 82 year old mother hired her to sell her house Waldorf, Maryland. LaKeta was prompt in responding to all of my mother’s questions, concerns, and needs. She was extremely knowledgeable at her trade and had the house sold in 3 weeks! She even helped my mother find a company to pack her belongings and move her at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend her!

She was patient, knowledgeable and flexible through out. Would recommend her for anyone looking for someone who is all of the above and also advocate for you.

As a military veteran who grew up in various small apartments, the idea of owning a home, much less selling one, felt like a distant dream for most of my life. It was a dream cultivated through years of service, hard work, and a vision of a place where my family could truly put down roots. So, when it came time to sell our house, I approached it with the same precision and seriousness I once applied to many years in the military. That's where LaKeta came in. She wasn't just our realtor; she became an invaluable member of our family, a trusted ally in the complex operation of helping us understand all the details of what this major decision entails with an incredible level of dedication. I mean, you talk about someone who commits – she committed to helping our family from the beginning to the end. Her commitment to guiding us every step of the way was nothing short of remarkable. From expertly listing our place to working what I can only describe as magic with the staging, pictures, open house, and video – believe me, our home never looked so good, it was practically ready to move right in! She truly devoted her time to us, answering our questions, sometimes for the third time, always with that warm, reassuring smile. LaKeta navigated every detail with such a genuine friendly spirit and a personal touch that truly sets her apart. It's not every day you find someone who brings that kind of care and an "A-game" to their work. So, to LaKeta, from our family to yours, we extend our deepest gratitude. You transformed what could have been a tough process into a remarkably smooth journey. If you're looking for a realtor who brings not just skill and expertise, but also an enormous heart and an unwavering commitment to your family's well-being, LaKeta is, without a doubt, your person. She's earned our highest recommendations, and truly remarkable. Thank you, LaKeta, for making a real difference in our lives.

Burgess has gone above and beyond for our family trying to sell/ rent our home.

Hands down the most professional and hardest working Realtor around

After living overseas for nearly two decades, my wife and I were making a major transition back to the United States, and LaKeta made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and manageable. Even while we were still abroad, LaKeta went above and beyond—touring dozens of homes on our behalf, recording detailed videos, and walking us through each property via live video calls. Her dedication was unmatched; she even conducted tours for us in the middle of a blizzard. That level of commitment truly set her apart. Throughout the entire process, LaKeta provided thoughtful guidance, clearly outlining the pros and cons of each home while helping us see the potential in every property we considered. Her expertise, patience, and genuine care made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend LaKeta Burgess to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and truly exceptional real estate professional.
