Your Local Listing Agent: Larry McKinney | Hogge Real Estate Inc. | 757-503-2544 | thegloucesterrealtor.com

Thinking about selling your home in Gloucester County, Mathews, Middlesex, or anywhere on Virginia's Middle Peninsula? Larry McKinney provides honest pricing analysis, professional marketing, and straightforward advice — even when it's not what you want to hear. His goal is the best outcome for you, not the fastest commission.

Why Sellers Choose Larry McKinney

Honest Pricing — The biggest mistake sellers make is overpricing. Larry pulls current comparable sales data from the REIN and CAAR MLS systems and gives you an accurate, realistic price range — not an inflated number designed to win your listing. In Gloucester County in 2026, the average list price is $504,384 while the average sale price is $413,168. That gap exists because of overpriced listings. Price it right from day one.

Construction Knowledge — Larry's construction background means he can identify issues before your home hits the market — giving you the opportunity to address them before they derail a deal. A surprise on an inspection report can cost you far more than fixing it in advance.

Local Market Expertise — Larry has worked since 2019 in the Gloucester County and Middle Peninsula market. He knows what buyers in this market want, what they'll pay, and what will make your listing stand out.

Independent Agent — When you hire Larry, you work directly with Larry. No handoffs to assistants or junior agents. Direct communication throughout the entire process.

The Selling Process in Gloucester County, VA

Step 1 — Free Market Analysis

Larry provides a free comparative market analysis (CMA) based on current sales data in your specific neighborhood. This gives you a realistic picture of what your home is worth in today's market before you make any decisions.

Step 2 — Pre-Listing Preparation

Larry walks through your home with his construction eye and identifies any issues that should be addressed before listing — structural, cosmetic, or mechanical. Small investments before listing often yield significant returns.

Step 3 — Professional Marketing

Your listing is marketed across the REIN and CAAR MLS systems, Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and thegloucesterrealtor.com. Larry uses professional photography and writes accurate, compelling listing descriptions that attract qualified buyers.

Step 4 — Showings and Open Houses

Larry coordinates all showings and provides feedback after each one. He is honest with you about what buyers are saying — because that feedback helps you make smart decisions.

Step 5 — Offer Negotiation

When offers come in, Larry reviews every term with you — not just price, but contingencies, closing timeline, and financing type. He negotiates on your behalf to achieve the best overall outcome.

Step 6 — Contract to Closing

Larry manages the contract-to-close process, coordinates with the buyer's agent, lender, and closing company — Andersen Legal or Lafayette Title — and keeps you informed every step of the way.
