Bill handled a complicated short sale for me. He and his staff were outstanding! I would use him again if the need ever arose. I would recommend him to anyone. He answered all questions and emails immediately and thoroughly. He was supurb.

Highly recommend Mr. Tucker for real estate needs!

Mr. Tucker stuck by our side for over a year during a very painful short sale process. However, he saw it through to the end and helped us complete it. We are very grateful for his experience and expertise in this field.

Aggressive, Ethical, and On Top of My Case From Start to Finish.

5.0 stars

I highly recommend Mr. Tucker and Valerie for aggressive, ethical, and thoughtful representation during a very stressful time for me as they handled my short sale. Over the almost seven months of handling my case, I was kept informed by both Mr. Tucker and Valerie at all times with either emails or phone calls. I was sent required paperwork to complete with thorough instructions and reasons why it was needed. My phone calls were returned promptly or in a reasonable time frame. Most importantly I was told what to expect and what could be done. I was also told how things could turn out good or bad which thankfully didn't happen. I felt that Mr. Tucker and Valerie were on top of the latest laws and coming changes to the law to keep the process moving forward in a fair manner to all involved. When there were problems they let me know and handled them with determination and great follow up. When I was confused or didn't understand they were patient and explained things in terms I could understand. I highly recommend Mr. Tucker and his team. I was treated like I was their most important client and that meant a lot during a stressful time. Mr. Tucker handled my case professionally with top notch representation. Valerie was so thorough and kept things moving forward very, very calmly and I could tell she was very passionate about taking care of my case to the end. She even helped after my case was closed with an unexpected problem which came up regarding my case that had nothing to do with how it had all been previously handled. Thank you both. I would hire you again.

We recently went through a short sale process and the effectiveness and efficiency of the Tucker Law Firm was invaluable. This was our first experience in real estate and while at times we felt a little in the dark through the process, we quickly learned that no news is good news as they worked our case. I would absolutely recommend the Tucker Law Firm.

Incredible Service and Reliability

Going through the short sale process was harrowing. Bill Tucker and his staff (especially Valerie Johnson) made the process bearable. They kept me well informed throughout the process. They were patient in explaining everything that was going on. They regularly got me on the phone to walk me through what was happening. Bill Tucker produced results when negotiating with the banks. Their warmth, friendliness and sense of humor left made the process that much better. Bill Tucker epitomizes the very notion of service!

Short Sale

From the time we walked into Tucker's office, we were treated with respect and filled with information that led to a quick Short Sale of our home. The lender never bothered us once. My realtor also dealt with Tucker throughout the sale on our behalf and both kept us copied on all their correspondence. Their explanations made it short and sweet.

We recently sold our Cabin in Rileyville VA. We worked with a paralegal named Jenna C. Peregoy. What a smooth, professional transaction thanks to her. It closed very quickly even though she had to contend with 3 Sellers! Thank You TGB Law for using Jenna for our Sale. Thank you Jenna!

Bill Tucker knows how to care for his clients at a level of expertise that few command. It's the way he knows what is possible, and then uses words in such a way to part the brambles and lead the way.

Short Sale Success!

Bill Tucker and his team were the answer to my real estate prayers! After being transferred to another state for work, my condo sat on the market for over a year in this dismal market with no traffic. I enlisted the help of Bill Tucker and after 3 months, I was relieved of this burden! They fought hard so that I wouldn't have to continue to pay on my condo even after the short sale was over. I truly felt that they cared about me and my situation and could not have asked for a better team. THANK you!
