I’m Amy with The Ron Sawyer Team at RE/MAX Prime. I was born and raised in Colorado, earned my Nuclear Engineering degree from Oregon State University, traveled all over the world in the military, and then settled in the Hampton Roads area. After growing up in a real estate centric family, I served over 18 years combined in the Navy and as a contractor for the Navy, but then decided to return to my roots and pursue my dream of working in real estate!
As a proud Navy wife and a stepmom to a wonderful teenage boy, my family and I take full advantage of this wonderfully diverse place to work and live. When I am not helping a client, you can probably find us watching sports or enjoying our favorite outdoor activities like boating, camping, hiking, golfing, or SCUBA diving.
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your lifetime, but my team and I can make it one of the smoothest and most rewarding. I know what it’s like to buy and sell homes in all areas and types of markets, and I am equipped with the right tools and a unique perspective to help. My experience and many years of service have prepared me for dealing with complex situations, which makes me the person you want on your side through the real estate transaction process. Homeownership IS within reach, and I am committed to making your experience the best it can be…let’s get started today!

I have the pleasure of calling Hampton Roads my hometown. Coming from a Navy family, I appreciate how this area welcomes people from all over the world. I could go on and on about the history, dating back to ancient times, from the creation of the bay as well as more recent technological and naval advancements that have shaped the world. I believe this area offers something for everyone, and I want to help others feel that same pride about living here.
I am a firm believer that hard work and dedication will pay off in the end. That is why I became a realtor. I want to help people throughout the process of homeownership. I know that owning a home is a dream that so many have, and if I can help someone make their dream a reality, I know that I’ve done my job. My former work in the IT field has left me with a vast knowledge of technology and an ability to problem-solve and make solutions out of the toughest situations. I am always learning and staying up to date on the best tools and marketing strategies to help my clients buy and sell their home. The market changes on a daily basis, but I understand the importance of communication and being prepared for anything.
When I’m not working hard for my clients, I enjoy learning new languages, binging the latest TV shows, reading, and traveling. I would love to travel extensively and immerse myself in the many different cultures and languages of the world. I am also an ice hockey athlete, with nearly twenty years of dedication put into a very demanding sport. I show that same drive and commitment that I do on the ice, in my work. So, if you’re working with me, you can guarantee that you’re going to get the BEST service possible. Give me a call when you’re ready to discuss creating an authentic and memorable home buying or selling experience to treasure for years to come.

I have been to 30 states in America, at least 20 different countries around the world, and found a love for Alaska along the way. Although I’ve seen most of the world, Hampton Roads felt the most like home. Which is why my wife and I decided to raise our family here. Together, we raise our son and daughter on good values and living a healthy and happy lifestyle.
I am a Navy SEAL veteran with nearly 10 years serving the country that I love. The Navy has trained me on how to problem solve and make difficult things happen. I want to help other families find what they’re looking for in their home buying or selling journey. I take pride in listening to what people want and making sure they have all the information they need to succeed in their goals.
If I’m not in the office, you can probably find me at the gym. I am very active and love to compete in CrossFit competitions around the area. I also enjoy rock climbing, being in the mountains, reading books, and playing board games with my family. So if you see me at the gym or out in the community, don’t hesitate to say hello. I hope to make your homeownership dreams come true!

My name is Douglas Hoven and I am proud to be an agent with the award-winning Ron Sawyer Team at RE/MAX Prime. Prior to getting into real estate I served in the Navy on Submarines for eight years and subsequently worked as a Lead Test Engineer on Submarines for another nine years. After resigning from government I worked in the automotive industry as a General Manager and it was there that I discovered my love of caring for people in my local community. It was fulfilling caring for my customers cars, but I found that caring for all their home needs would be more meaningful.
I’ve lived all throughout the Southeast, but Hampton Roads has been my home for over sixteen years now. I’ve worked and lived in several cities throughout the area and am very familiar with the area and local neighborhoods. In my free time I enjoy cycling all throughout Isle of Wight and Southampton County, woodworking, homesteading, reading, home renovations, and spending time with my five children. I personally performed my home renovations and use this expertise in order to help clients make informed decisions when it comes to buying or selling their homes.
I have utilized all of my knowledge and past experience to help me succeed as a real estate agent. I pride myself on being able to provide tailored advice and support, with each client receiving extensive individual attention. My life has prepared me to advocate for my clients no matter how difficult the circumstance. I also have an award winning team to ensure our clients receive quality service to make the home buying / selling process as smooth as possible. Let me help you find your dream home today!!

I’ve lived in other parts of the country, but I kept coming back to Hampton Roads and I’m here to stay! Originally from the small town of Wakefield, Virginia, I love the water and friendly people of Hampton Roads. The area has so much to offer and I enjoy showing it off.
I graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Economics and received my Master’s Degree in Adult Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. For twenty years, I helped companies and their families move to the area from all over the world. My former professions taught me how to balance serving clients and paying close attention to detail. I know that not everyone will have the same desires and wants, so I focus on honing in on what each client needs, and delivering it to them. At the end of a closing, I want my clients to walk away feeling like I’ve answered all of their questions and made a complex process as simple as possible. I know I’ve done my job whenever I hear a client say, “Wow, that was so much easier than I expected!”
When I’m not helping my clients, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two boys. There’s nothing like the great outdoors, unwinding to music, or being on any beach with my family. My family and I are proud to call Hampton Roads home. I’m so glad that I get to focus on helping my clients find the right home, right here! It’s even more fun when it’s someone who has lived here for years and I get to show them Hampton Roads for the first time...again!

Born into a military family I was raised in the Hampton Roads area. I graduated from Kempsville HS class of '87. I am married and a mom of two amazing children. We have three very sweet dogs, two are Old English Sheepdogs and the other is an English Chocolate Lab. We also have two horses, a thoroughbred and an appendix. As an adult, I have owned homes in 3 different cities of the Hampton Roads area. Even though I have a great love for the beach, I am also a country girl at heart, so being able to experience the best of both worlds is an absolute blessing. My husband and I recently completed our new home in Windsor, Va on 4.4 acres. I absolutely love the Hampton Roads area because there are so many options for lifestyle and living choices. You can be at the beach and then in the country in 30 mins. I cannot express how much I appreciate the area we live in, because it offers the perfect balance between city and country life. We are so lucky to live in an area that offers the best of both worlds. When I am not selling homes, we, as a family, love to take advantage of the many activities available to us in this area, boating, farm life, and all the parks and outdoor activities our area offers.
I started my business in real estate in 2021. I love helping my clients find the house that fits them, their family and their budget best. My life experiences have given me a unique skill set to handle all the challenges that come with buying and selling in Hampton Roads. I have personally bought 5 homes and sold 4 over the last 30 years. Of those 5, 3 of them were new construction. Through this experience, I have gained a unique insight into the buying and selling process, which I have been able to use to better serve my clients. I am very goal oriented and a problem solver which makes for the perfect partnership in real estate. I would love to have the opportunity to sit down with you and discuss your plans for buying or selling a home. I believe that my personal and professional knowledge in this arena could prove to be a valuable asset to you in this process.

Hi, I’m Lauren! I was born and raised in Northern Virginia and have lived in this beautiful state for the majority of my life. Coastal living and urban diversity made the Hampton Roads area an obvious choice for my wife and I to settle down. My combined life experiences have prepared me to work hard to achieve success in real estate. I come from a family of public servants; my parents both served over 25 years of law enforcement. I followed suit and began a career in the fire service before transitioning to emergency department clinical research at Duke University. Through these experiences I learned that above all else, I love to help people and be a person they can depend on. I grew up playing high level sports, and my competitive nature enables me to produce results to the highest of standards. I accept every challenge and will always put 100% effort forward. As a real estate agent I focus on listening intently, fully understanding your vision, and always going the extra mile to ensure satisfaction. When I am not hard at work for my clients, you can find me at CrossFit, hanging out on the beach, paddle boarding or enjoying the outdoors in some other way with my wife. Buying or selling your home is a big decision and milestone in your life. It is important to work with an agent who can keep the process running smoothly so you can enjoy this exciting time to the fullest! Let’s work together to bring your real estate visions to life!

I personify integrity, energy, hard work, and creative service in every detail of your real estate transaction. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and started my sales career at a young age showing horses with my older sister, and now I am showing homes to future homeowners. I moved to the Hampton Roads area after falling in love with the beaches and rich culture around the 7 Cities.
Coming from a close-knit family, finding a working home with The Ron Sawyer Team at RE/MAX Prime was a no-brainer. The strong support I receive from my Team-Family helps to make my job more rewarding.
I am an athlete by nature. My competitiveness can not only be shown when negotiating deals for my clients, but it can also be shown at the bowling alley or while playing a game of kickball. I also enjoy watching college football and catching my favorite band at a concert.
My experience in advertising has led me to become a great Realtor. I understand the importance of marketing a home, and I use this innovative approach when working with clients. I take pride in being able to listen to my clients and offer them progressive solutions when buying or selling their home.
I love the feeling I get after looking at many homes and walking into the next showing knowing this is the house for my clients. To this day, I still get chills when it happens. There’s nothing like the moment we’re at the closing table and my clients realize they are now officially homeowners! It’s also an enjoyable feeling when I hear that they heard horror stories about the home buying or selling process, and they say how smooth of a process I made it for them.
I want to take away all of your home buying or selling fears, and make the process as seamless as possible. I love helping families find their forever home!

My name is Megan Parker and I am a Realtor on the award-winning Ron Sawyer Team at RE/MAX Prime. I am a California native, but Hampton Roads has been home to my family and me for over fifteen years. The beautiful weather, rich culture, and various attractions make Hampton Roads a place anyone would want to raise a family. When I’m not out negotiating homes for my clients, I’m negotiating my own household with my husband and our two active children. Patience, calm under fire, and good communication skills are essential for both. I am also a USA Swimming Official, nature lover, and avid volunteer.
Before becoming a Realtor, over 12 years ago, I owned and managed book stores. Service was central to everything I did. That has not changed. I know that selling and buying a home can be stressful for anyone, and people want someone they can rely on. My goal is to take away my clients’ worries and help guide them through a very complex process. I want to make sure that, when it is over, they have a house that they are excited about turning into a home. I know what it takes to successfully close a transaction making the buying or selling experience positive and seamless!

Hi, my name is Monica Selby! I was born in Japan and moved to Chesapeake when I was 10 due to being a part of a military family. I’ve lived in Chesapeake and have loved the Hampton Roads area ever since.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, David, who is a longshoreman and Chesapeake native. In my spare time, I love going to the beach, riding bikes, and trying new places to eat. I’m also a proud graduate of Old Dominion University - Go Monarchs!
My passion is truly helping others. Before starting my career in real estate, I worked at an assisted living facility specializing in programming activities and therapy for the senior population. I have a special place in my heart for the elderly, military families, and anyone in need of my help. One thing I’ve realized, from being in a military family, is that most need to buy/sell a home quickly. I want to use my real estate background and passion for helping others to make the home buying/selling process as streamlined as possible. It's important to me that I provide my clients with the level of care and communication that they deserve. If you or anyone you know is interested in my real estate services, please do not hesitate to give me a call. I would love to meet with you and help you find your perfect home.

Born in Prince George County Maryland on Andrews AF Base and raised right here in Hampton Roads, this has been home for over 3 decades! When I’m not out learning all there is to know about this business, I enjoy fishing, catching my favorite musicians at a concert, relaxing days at the beach, or traveling to places I’ve never been.
I pride myself on my professionalism, my courtesy to others, and my ability to communicate and relate to people from all walks of life. My previous experience working in the auto industry for over a decade has allowed me to excel at working with clients and forming lasting family-like relationships. I’ve always had a burning interest in real estate. It has always fascinated me to see how homeownership is a life changer not just for the purchaser, but also for their families for years to come.
I’m a problem solver by nature and enjoy taking the stress out of a client's hands and guiding them throughout the process. Generational wealth, ownership, and equity are what everyone deserves and I seek opportunities to help people grow. Utilizing my skill sets, and pure grit to succeed, I am here at The Ron Sawyer Team @ RE/MAX Prime and I plan to make a brighter path to owning or selling, no matter how big or small the challenge. So, please call me if you have any questions or need assistance in the selling, renting, or purchasing of a home! Or if you just need guidance to help you reach your goals!

I've been selling real estate for almost 30 years! I absolutely love what I do! It's a very rewarding job, as I'm able to help people for a living. There's nothing more exciting than helping someone find their perfect home or assisting a seller in getting top dollar for their home. I have a wonderful family! My husband retired from the Navy after serving 28 years. He currently works for the government doing the same thing he did in the service, meteorologist.
We are very proud parents of three wonderful young adults. Our oldest is a Registered Nurse, our middle is in his last year at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond studying radiation therapy, and our youngest attends Old Dominion in Norfolk working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Communications.
I've been with RE/MAX most of my real estate career. I love that we are Nationwide, as it's a name everyone knows. I also take great pride in how much we have to offer to all of our clients. I specialize in many areas. I work with military families coming in and out of the area. I also work with many first-time buyers, as well as many seasoned buyers and sellers. Most of my clients come from referrals, which is very important to me. That means I’m doing my job and doing it well!
If you are looking for an honest hard-working Realtor that has your best interest at heart, that Realtor would be me! Please feel free to call, text or email me anytime. I look so forward to working with you!

Hi, I’m Tyler and I am a lifelong Hampton Roads resident with a passion for providing my clients with the highest level of service and professionalism. This area is huge on community, family, and cultivating relationships with people from all over the world. That instant connection to building a home here is something I want to provide to my clients.
After gaining my real estate license, I wanted to dive headfirst into the field and learn everything I possibly could. I’ve read books, taken classes, and been mentored by some of the industry's leading agents. I currently have the resources and support from one of the best real estate teams in Virginia, The Ron Sawyer Team. With the help of my team, I am constantly learning new ways that I can bring value to my buyers and sellers so that they can achieve their goals of home ownership.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, investing in cryptocurrency, golfing, and occasionally playing video games. On game day, you can find me rooting for The Chicago Cubs and The University of North Carolina Tar Heels.
I believe that buying a house is one of the biggest highlights of someone's life, and it brings me great joy when I can make that process easier. When someone becomes my client, I want them to walk away from their transaction feeling like they not only gained a new agent for life, but also a new friend. I’m excited to help you with all of your real estate needs!

Hampton Roads is a great place to live and work, which is why I choose to call it home. Born and raised in Chesapeake, I love the Seven Cities and all it offers. No matter which city you live in, you’re always close to the beach, and just a few hours away from the mountains.
My wife, of almost twenty years, and I are proud to call Hampton Roads home. Together, we raise our three kids here, and we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. When I’m not out making my clients happy, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. You can find me at a baseball game, taking ski trips, or hunting with my two sons.
With over ten years of experience, I’m always sharpening my skills so that I can bring new information to my clients. In this business, it’s important to always be one step ahead. My background in finance and experience as a loan officer, make me a well-informed Realtor. I love guiding clients through one of the biggest purchases of their lives and seeing the smiles on their faces once the transaction is complete.
Whether you’re buying, selling, browsing, dreaming, or all the above and more - I’m here to help you achieve your goals. Let’s connect and discover what we can do together!
