Above and Beyond – An Exceptional Realtor Experience in Norfolk, VA Let me be clear: I CHOSE Michael Salonga to help me purchase my home, I KEPT him as my property manager while stationed overseas for four years, and I CHOSE him to sell my home. As a military service member with frequent relocations, my top priorities when choosing a realtor were trust, competence, and a strong work ethic. Michael Salonga at NAS Real Estate Professionals delivered. He guided me through every phase of homeownership with professionalism and care. Home Purchase – Trusting Michael with an Unseen Investment In 2016, I sought an investment property in Norfolk. Due to my military duties, I couldn’t view the property in person, but Michael earned my full trust. He provided detailed photos, videos, and thorough descriptions, showcasing his deep understanding of the Norfolk market. Michael focused on areas with strong growth potential, knowing that developments like the Norfolk Premium Outlet Mall, the IKEA store, and the planned waterfront casino would increase property values. Within two years, I saw appreciation in my property, reflected in the city’s annual tax assessment (spoiler alert: My investment paid off well). Rental & Property Management – Michael Goes the Extra Mile When it came time to move overseas, I debated whether to sell or rent. After careful deliberation with Michael on market conditions, I chose to rent, with him managing the property. Beyond handling tenants, Michael provided invaluable advice on property care, helping me focus on renovations that added value, rather than wasting money on unnecessary upgrades. He also guided me through inevitable repairs, advising what was covered by insurance versus home warranty, and which repairs required immediate attention. For example, when an AC technician tried to upsell me on a new unit after freezing my existing one, claiming the coil was cracked, Michael intervened. He properly defrosted the unit, saving me thousands of dollars. Michael’s expertise in avoiding costly mistakes provided me with peace of mind. Selling My Norfolk Home – Fast, Efficient, and Profitable When it was time to sell, Michael’s expertise in the Norfolk market proved invaluable. I was initially concerned about how long the house would sit on the market, but Michael quickly listed the property and sold it within one month. His strategic pricing and targeted marketing ensured I received an offer that met my goals. Throughout the process, he kept me well-informed and explained every line item of expense and profit at closing. Thanks to his efforts, I sold profitably and used the proceeds to purchase my mother’s home. A Realtor Who Truly Goes Above and Beyond From purchase to property management and sale, Michael consistently offered sound advice without ever pressuring me. His insights into renovations, insurance, and finding reliable contractors made him an indispensable partner. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, reliable, and fully committed to protecting your best interests, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Salonga. He is a premium realtor whose prices are more than fair for the exceptional value he provides.

By far Michael has been the most honest, hard working and most knowledgeable agent we have experienced. The process in renting out our Virginia Beach home would have not been possible without the representation of Michael. We would certainly use NAS Real Estate again for all our real estate needs. We highly recommend Michael and NAS Real Estate.

For the house that I most recently bought Michael Salonga was my realtor. I had previously worked with Anastasia Salonga on the buy and sell of my last home and she was amazing, dedicated and thorough working with me and advising me on every turn. Loved working with her!!! For my most recent buying process with Michael, I was beyond pleased and he went above and beyond. He put me in contact with an superb loan officer and insurance officer who did all of the leg work for me. He is a master of his trade and knows the ins and outs of the real estate business! There were bumps in the road not caused by Michael but he made getting over them super easy and reduced my stress levels immensely. When we couldn't close on time he worked amendments to get me in the home early to move my belongings into the home and then even for us to do an early move in. Due to Michael's superior knowledge and dedication I saved money and time. He was always professional, on time and pleasant to work with. And believe me, I belabored him with questions and needs that he was able to answer and assist with. I will only be using Michael, Anastasia and the NAS Real Estate Professionals in the future with all of my home buying, selling, and renting needs!! SUPERB & TOP NOTCH PERFORMANCE!!!!

My wife and I met Michael at a random open house by chance and immediately knew we wanted Michael in our corner. He is very friendly and approachable and worked with my wife and I throughout the entire process of our home purchase. Michael even met with us when we weren't sure we were 100% ready to buy a house to take the time to explain the pro's and con's to buying a house or not. Michael also responds almost immediately and fights for what his clients need. He recommends a good team for when it comes time for closing; my wife and I hardly had to lift a finger when it came time to close. We couldn't be more grateful to Michael and his team and will recommend him and his team enthusiastically to anyone in need or his/their services.

I was in great hands throughout my entire house buying experience. Zero stress from an already stressful situation. The whole NAS team was a blessing.
