As part of the boutique real estate agency Liz Moore & Associates, Tim Parker and Cyril Petrop offer Williamsburg real estate with no surprises. They can make this claim because the Liz Moore & Associates unique solution reorganizes the real estate transaction process.

For sellers, this removes last minute surprises of unforeseen expense and delays.

For both sellers and buyers, having these services performed upfront removes the stress of having to make major decisions at the end of the transaction while under pressure to close.

Tim and Cyril are great believers in the importance of listening, especially if you’re new to Williamsburg.
