SPECIALTIES

At JB Property Solutions we specialize in buying and selling our homes at the price and on the timeline that works for all parties. We take pride in green renovations and making our homes as comfortable as possible. We take a responsible approach to upgrading properties- updating to optimal energy efficiency, choosing modern materials always keeping the environment in mind, and selling or recycling whenever possible items removed from our properties. Our extensive knowledge of real estate investing and large network of real estate investors nationwide allow us to offer more buying choices and a wide variety of selling options for all types of home buyers and sellers, including financially distressed homeowners.

OUR STORY

We are veterans who served our  country for twenty (John) and over twenty-one years (Barbara).  We met while attending Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.  We developed a passion for real estate redevelopment through our numerous moves and home renovations.  We are seasoned professionals who are passionate about helping people and communities through real estate transactions.  We focus on updating residential and commercial real estate to modern functionality, energy efficiency and comfort and improve our community by reducing environmental impact.

Barbara is a Virginia licensed real estate agent with Keffer Realty (335-F Centerville Tpke S., Chesapeake, VA 23322).

Barbara Bauer-Chen

Co-Owner

Barbara grew up in the midwest and left to see the world with the U.S. Navy. During her military career she worked primarily with P-3 and C-130 aircraft. She studied Japanese language and taught English while living in Japan. After living in various states and overseas, she was very happy to settle in and call the dynamic Hampton Roads area home now! A natural problem-solver, she realized her passion for real estate because it allows her to help people and save historic properties. She has been through enough moves to truly understand how stressful moving can be and enjoys making those transitions less stressful for her clients!
