Ernie was extremely professional and did a great job at selling my house. He ran like 76 photos which Im sure helped sell the house as quick as it did. He was very helpful and was always there when I needed him.
Mr. Ernie Dill is a spectacular realtor and has been a tremendous benefit in the sale of our home where we lived the last 24 years. He was very understanding and supportive with our lack of knowledge for the sale of our house. He His communications skills put at ease and made the whole process easy and alleviated out anxiety and concerns . He was communicated what we needed to do to prepare the house for the sale from day one without exaggerating expectations. He depth of knowledge provided a complete plan prior to our first meeting through documents that he emailed to us. His documents on sales strategy and home preparations were of great assistance. He worked and communicated with us throughout the process on each step to take and provided resources necessary to showcase our house. He brought in expert resources for staging and 3D video in addition to the normal house pictures. Both were just great and these products helped us showcase the house. He masterfully analyzed the current market to precisely target set the listed price and target the market in our area.We put the house on the market at 11PM Thursday night and had 34 prospects walk through the house in the next three days. He astutely advised us to stop since we had 10 offers all above our asking price. Mr. Dill helped us strategize the next steps with the decision to solicit the offerers for submitting their best and final offers. We achieved an outcome that didn’t expect, the final offer was $47,500 over the asking price. Mr. Dill has been there expertly advising us, assisting us, and holding our hands throughout what could have been a traumatic experience but was not. After the contract was signed, he didn’t stop supporting us. He worked with us for the appraisal and every step toward closing. His knowledge, marketing ability, communications skills, and incredible competency are what anyone looking for a realtor absolutely needs.
Ernie made the process of selling our home easy and stress free. Ernie uses an impressive strategy to generate comps and maximize proceeds. On top of that he is an absolute joy to work with. I could not be happier!
Mr. Dill was the perfect realtor for us. His experience, can-do-attitude, and prior military service were key to understand our situation as a military family. Also, he did not fear the challenge of the moment to achieve our goal like other realtors. Mr. Dill came with multiple alternatives and explained the process every step of the way . I sincerely recommend Mr. Dill as a realtor and advisor.
This was our first time selling a home and Ernie made this experience fun and exciting. He was incredibly informative, communicative and overall amazing to work with. Can’t recommend Ernie enough!
Ernie is a very dedicated and hard working realtor. He has always responded to all of our questions and concerns. He is also quite savvy and brought us top dollar for our home.
My husband and I have bought and sold many houses (12 including current one) and worked with many agents, and by far, Ernie surpassed all agents, in clarity, professionalism, and especially value!!! We didn’t know him prior to this transaction, but he quickly became the person who we could rely on. He sold our property within a week and at a great price. WE LOVE HIM!!! You will too. Thank you, Ernie. Be safe! Joe and Kay
We were looking to save money by paying a lower commission to a real estate agent but also thought the quality of service would be reduced as well. With Ernie Dill that was not the case and with him we received a first rate realtor! It was clear he understood the value of how to best market our home with a well thought out description of our property and a professionally designed photo gallery that truly brought out the best in our home. Mr. Dill also arranged for a real estate “stager” to provide guidance on how to better prepare our house for eventual showings, which proved to be not only an education for us but really showcased our home’s features. Mr. Dill was an excellent communicator throughout the process and made several common sense suggestions on how to get the optimum price for our house, and he also negotiated with the buyer about allowing us to remain in our home commensurate to our schedule. We have nothing but good things to say about Ernie Dill and also appreciate his military service to our country as an Army Officer. We would recommend Mr. Dill over and over to anyone in need of this highly competent individual!
Ernie Dill was recommended to me to assist with sale of our family home when we relocated on fairly short notice for employment reasons. My husband had just retired from the Navy and had found a great job in another State. Ernie was extremely knowledgeable, and marketed our luxury home superbly. We were kept well-informed after our move while awaiting settlement, and Ernie even went over to assure that the thermostat was set so as not to break our bank account heating the home! Great guy, great Realtor. Strongly recommended!
I highly recommend Realtor Ernie Dill! He helped me in sale of testamentary family properties that required unique sensitivity and diplomatic skills in working with other family members, and extraordinary skills in marketing very complex and challenging properties. Ernie was able to present our property in such manner that we received several offers. He negotiated smoothly and responded and communicated in depth with all concerned at all moments. He’s a strategic thinker, personable, and always has a thoughtful approach. I’m certain he’d be a great asset in your real estate endeavor! - Judith Anderson
Ernie Dill represented us in the recent sale of our Lake Wilderness home. I was surprised in our initial conversation to learn that Ernie felt that we could get over $20,000.00 more for the place than we expected. He priced it, marketed the home beautifully, and negotiated fiercely on our behalf. We got top dollar quickly. But that buyer later disqualified. I thought wed have to cut the price. Ernie said nope - Ill have another buyer for you shortly. And he did! Again, at top dollar. The Dude knows what hes doing and he will be a real asset to you if youre selling your place. Great communication, powerful negotiation, thorough market understanding, and real professional competency. Those qualities are what this man brings to the table. I recommend you hire him!
Ernie Dill represented us in the recent sale of our town home in Rappahannock Landing . This was my first experience selling a home. However, I was hopeful I would find a realtor who would be honest with me about how long would it take my house to sell and also wanted honesty about how much I would get for my home. I was surprised in our initial conversation to learn that Ernie felt that we could get more for the place than we expected and that it would sell quickly. (I was worried that it might take a while!) He priced it, marketed the home beautifully, and negotiated fiercely on our behalf. We got top dollar quickly. Ernie will be a real asset to you if youre selling your place. Great communication, powerful negotiation, thorough market understanding, and real professional competency. Those qualities are what this man brings to the table. I recommend you hire him!
Ernie was great to work with as a Seller. He was always on time, responded to texts/emails expediently and walked us through the process beautifully. Highly recommend him.
Ernie represented us in a complex land sale. He assembled the various engineering and survey documents, sewer link drawings, flood zone maps, appraisals and so forth in a way that potential buyers could make sense of what we were selling and understand the opportunity before them. He walked the properties and the area and took photographs and video that showed on the ground all aspects of the properties. Taken together with the aforementioned diagrams, documents and drawings, all were presented in the Multiple Listing Service such that we enjoyed extensive demand. Communication was always thorough and thoughtful. Ernie is an excellent and accomplished agent who would be an asset to you in accomplishing your real estate goal. Highly recommended!
My husband and I interviewed five realtors before deciding to ask Ernie to represent us during the sale of our condominium. Ernie is a very positive individual and very knowledgeable as to the ins and outs of preparation for the sale of our property. He kept us informed of the progress of the sale and was available to discuss concerns and issues whenever we had questions. The closing went smoothly because of Ernies representation and intervention with the title company. I will recommend Ernie to my friends and family when they have need of a realtor.
Ernie Dill represented the seller during our purchase of our awesome new home. We met him at the open house he was holding. We were very interested in acquiring the home, but were at a disadvantage because we had a home to sell! Since he was representing the (very demanding!) seller, Ernie realized that he could not represent us, though we were very willing. And he realized that hed have to exercise extraordinary sensitivity and utilize great diplomacy with the seller to get the agreement to await our sale, and get to settlement on the new place! He did it! Were in the new place, and could not be happier! Ernies help was crucial and much appreciated. Communicator, diplomat, great Realtor!
Over the past years, Ernie has helped me with selling, renting and buying a home, each with their own unique challenges and objectives. In each case, Ernie has been THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT. He surrounds himself and aligns himself with incredible people that know what it takes to get the job done - what ever that job is. There are only a few people in my life that I trust as much as I do Ernie and I have recommended him to all of my family for their real estate needs. One of my adult daughters even referred to him as our family real estate guy. He earned my respect and trust a long time ago and reaffirms it with each encounter I or my family have with him.
We recently closed on two very challenging lots subdivided from a larger family holding. I say challenging in that these lots were 5-acre parcels, but only small portions were buildable! The lots were heavily treed, sloping, crossed by a private road, and bordering a 100-year flood plain. Uniquely located, the lots were in great demand but the significant engineering and permitting issues required extensive explication. Our Agent, Ernie Dill did a marvelous job of rendering our offer comprehensible and getting the properties sold! I highly recommend Ernie’s services!
Ernie would get more than 5 stars if possible. I was very lucky to have hired him as my realtor when I purchased my first home. He’s turned a very complicated process into an easy experience. He explained everything thoroughly, he replied to all my questions very quickly, he helped me hire great people to do all the inspections, closing and even helped me find a financing company last minute when my original company dropped the ball.This man will be my realtor as long as he is still working, that’s how great of an experience it was for me.
5 minutes after I hit the like button on a piece of property, Ernie Dill called me. That was 2 and a half years ago and we love the house that Ernie helped us buy. Ernie worked non-stop with the seller, closing agent, home inspector, termite inspector - in short, everyone required to make it all happen. Even after the sale, Ernie was there to answer all the little questions that arise in a new house. I would buy another home using him as an agent in an instant and if, and when, I sell this home, Ernie Dill will be my representative. Were forever thankful for Ernies professionalism and expertise.
Updated Review:In response to Mr. Dills comment of Imagine what kind of small thinking, hateful, and excessively entitled individual would take the time and make the effort, to do what Mr. P has done. Im the kind of person who does not like spam calls from businesses Ive never done business with. After the first voicemail, I reported Samson Properties to the FTC and continued to receive subsequent voicemails. I feel it is fair to leave a review of Samson Properties as I have had interactions with their business in the form of these unsolicited voicemails. I never claimed the voicemails were not professional in content; however, they are certainly unprofessional in nature. Mr. Dill is incorrect in his assumption that ringless voicemails are legal in the United States, the prevailing case law from Saunders v. Dyck O’Neal, Inc. 2018 and Schaevitz v. Braman Hyundai, Inc. 2018 found that ringless voicemail is considered a phone call and thus bound by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and thus the Do Not Call Registry.As for entitled, it would seem that an individual who believes sending voicemails to everyone with in a given radius purely for their own benefit fits the definition of entitled. I would also question how large a radius Mr. Dill uses since I do not live within four hours of his office. The forcefulness and spite in Mr. Dills response would give me pause and make me consider if other reviewers were harassed into removing any dissenting reviews of his business, especially given the significant number of reviewers with very few posted reviews.His personal attacks against me could be construed as libelous. It is interesting that Mr. Dill would choose to attack a potential customer (he did call me to ask for my business) rather than take the approach of an upstanding business owner and correct any actual or perceived misgivings. I would encourage Mr. Dill to do better in future online interactions with his customers.Original Review:Constantly receiving unsolicited and illegal ringless voicemails from Ernie Dill at Samson Properties (my number is listed on the Do Not Call Registry). This behavior is not allowed and the FTC should be fining this business for every spam call they make. I would never do business with a company who stoops to using spam mass voicemail telemarketing!
Ernie represented me in the purchase of my home in Virginia Heritage two years ago. He did an exceptional job for me and handled all of my concerns quickly. This made the purchase go through quickly and with no hiccups.
Ernie will bend over backwards to get things done!He has been making the painful selling process a lot less painful..The ability to take care of business all online has not only been super easy, for me it is pretty much the only way I could get things signed without spending hours and hours on the road.
We found a lovely home in 2017 and with Earnies help and dedication we were able to close and move in our home within 4 months.
I have bought and sold 9 houses in 40 years, and Ernie Dill is the best realtor I’ve ever had. He knew the market, and he worked hard to sell our home in 2016. It sold in Fredericksburg after only 2 days on the market for more than asking price. His office provided an excellent “Stager,” Shelley, to help us as well. I had interviewed 2 other realtors, but picked Ernie because he was very knowledgeable, personable and he offered a stager. I have since referred him to several of my friends and neighbors, and he sold their houses quickly as well. One of my neighbors hadn’t been able to sell their house in 9 months with a different realtor. They made the improvements that Ernie recommended and it sold with a few weeks. I highly recommend that you make any improvements that Ernie suggests and price it according to his suggestions if you want to sell your house quickly and for top dollar. The 3D photos his photographer took looked outstanding and helped with the quick sale, too. I highly recommend Ernie Dill as a great realtor!
