My wife and I were fortunate enough to be represented by will throughout the majority of our home buying process. We worked with a few other agents at first who we did not feel had our best interests at heart. This was not the case with Will Freshwater. Will made sure he understood what it was that we needed and wanted in a home. He worked tirelessly for us and we never felt like he was trying to “make the sale.” Will was constantly available for showings, timely in responding to emails and always willing to answer the phone for any questions we had along the way. He was extremely knowledgeable and seemed just as passionate about finding a home for us as we were. My wife and I both mentioned throughout the process that we will certainly be using Will again in the future. We could not be happier with the service and attention we received from Will Freshwater and the rest of the Small & Associates team. Jacob Maupin
My wife and I can’t recommend Kiernan Ziletti enough. Incredibly professional and super diligent. We had several problems show up before our closing and Kiernan never skipped a beat in resolving them and being great moral support. His insight into the Richmond market and architecture was enlightening and encouraging. As well, his connections in town are priceless when you might need to make some changes before you move in. Thanks again!
There are not enough stars here to give Neil. He was very patient with me because I had no idea where to start or what to do. He took me to houses and condos. I was not sure which I wanted. Believe me I asked many questions and bugged him quite often. He answered all of my questions so I understood what we were doing. He gave me wonderful advice on the properties that we saw, including the neighborhoods where they were located. He is very knowledgeable in his field. And if I asked an off the wall question that he might have been real sure about, he always did his investigating and came back with answers to my odd questions. I would recommend Neil to anyone to be their Realtor 1000 times over.
We highly recommend Small and Associates for all your real-estate needs. Small & Associates managed a rental home for us in Richmond, we have been very satisfied with their professionalism. Chris Small recently sold that same rental property, it was like having a partner working for us!
Travis was super helpful during the buying process. He really took in what I needed and wanted and found me the right spot! Let him help you get into the right house, he’s knowledgable, effective, and efficient.
We came to Richmond from out of state and didn’t know much about how the housing market works here, so we were fortunate to have met Tawana Gatling. She really listened to our description of what we were looking for, and took us to a select group of townhouses—one of which turned out to be exactly what we wanted. After we made our decision, Tawana was great at guiding us through the contract process via e-signing. In addition, she referred us to several home inspection companies and helped us find legal representation. Not only that, she also coordinated the home inspection while we were out of town. She was extremely attentive and always kept the process moving smoothly. We always felt like she was on our side. We highly recommend Tawana. She is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.
We initially met Travis when we were looking for a rental property as we moved to Richmond from Washington, D.C. Although we ultimately did not decided to move forward with the property he was showing, he continued to stay in touch every so often to ensure our transition to Richmond had been good, offering any support and local knowledge he could give. He eventually helped us navigate subletting our apartment. All of these small touch points generated trust in Travis – it was clear he had our best interested in mind and was someone we enjoyed working with, which led us to work with him on our first home search. By a first home is full of unknowns and discomfort, yet Travis explained each step to us thoroughly so we felt fully informed and on the same playing field as more experienced buyers. He helped us refine our search conditions, but spent enough time with us to know when to show us something that fell outside of those – including the one we eventually settled on! Had he not understood us and what we valued in a home at a deep level, I don’t think we would have found the most perfect house for us. Throughout the negotiation and inspection process, Travis was extremely detail oriented. He personally helped us find a reputable second contractor to assess specific items in the house that needed more eyes on them for us to truly understand what the scope of repairs were. He has a great network of partners that we have been extremely happy with throughout our home buying process. We would highly recommend Travis as someone who is going to listen and take care of you at each step in your home search!
Chris “rescued” my wife and I from a very unresponsive broker who was not getting the job done! Even though there was an oversupply of Fan homes in our selling price range, Chris took over the listing on a Wednesday at the end of June, staged an open house the very next Sunday, kept traffic flowing until we had a contract and CLOSED on September 1st!!!! Incidentally, after the contract was signed, Chris continued to really earn his commission. He worked with the cooperating broker to increase the Buyer’s initial offer enough to cover much of the renovation costs we incurred getting the house ready for market. He lives and owns property in The Fan, loves the neighborhood and is an indefatigable worker on his clients’ behalf. The lucky Sellers will call Chris first!
“I read a statistic recently that 40% of people ranked the home buying process as the most stressful event of their life and that many of those people were brought to tears at some point over it. It’s hard to imagine that being the case when you have a realtor like Matt Lewis. Matt approached our home search as if he was looking for his own- pointing out things we should be aware of, fighting for our best interests and making sure we were completely satisfied. We especially appreciated how flexible he was with his time. My husband and I were out of the area during our search and Matt made himself available at all hours of the day/night to check out places on our behalf and get us detailed and transparent answers to all of our questions. Matt never got frustrated with our requests and we never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things real estate, but also about the Richmond area. His passion for his clients shows in everything that he does and I can’t think of a more honest or reliable person to entrust with one of the most important decisions of your life.” 11617 Candle Ct, Henrico, VA 23238
This Guy is Phenomenal! Heard about him through an old friend of mine and in that same breath, Travis took on our home-hunt as if we’d been friends for years. Travis built a solid rapport with me by always addressing my fiancée and daughter (by name) when it came speaking on home details. He brings in an exciting energy and never beats around the bush when it comes to knowledge and news that needs to be relayed. We were never in the blind about what was going on. I believe Travis even went into a soggy crawl space without being asked, nice clothes and all. He has character to boot! Look no further if you need an agent, Travis is definitely your guy!
