Just kidding, there are way more steps than that - but I am a firm believer that this process should be fun and easy. I've made it my personal mission to make buying a home as stress-free and painless as possible. Sometimes it isn’t fun or easy, but the good news is, you have me along for the ride as your advocate, shoulder to cry on, and person to laugh with when the going gets tough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6de0ca8ab72277e052b4a2/29fc3542-5571-4476-863d-4a3187703b74/Coastal+Virginia+Kitchen Buyers - Buyer Guides Here are some resources I have created to help educate and empower homebuyers.

I’m Alison. I go by Alison, Ali, or Ali McP. I am a Yorktown, Virginia native currently living in Hidenwood, Newport News, Virginia. I graduated from George Mason University with a B.S. in Marketing and Event Management/Tourism. Prior to becoming a REALTOR, I was a wedding professional who job hopped every two years because I got bored. The good news about real estate is that it is NEVER boring and always changing! My husband Josh and I bought our first home in 2013, a fixer-upper Cape Cod in Hidenwood - and we are still renovating to this day! Follow our renovations at www.thewholedamnhouse.com! Things I love: A good Sunday brunch, Hamilton: The Musical, paper planners and local craft brews! Formula 1 and the Green Bay Packers (GO PACK GO!), yellow front doors, a beautiful vintage wallpaper (DON'T TEAR IT OUT), and helping my clients find THEIR happy place, whether it be a wood-paneled palace of your own or a move-in ready residence! After losing my mom in 2024 and walking through the painful process of selling her home, I learned what no one prepares you for during big life transitions: the push and pull between letting go and holding on. The logistical chaos. The emotional weight. The way a house can hold more than furniture, it holds history, memories, identity, love, and loss. Let’s work together to find your happy place. Just reach out to me to set up a time for us to talk about YOUR goals and how I can help.
