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.

I enthusiastically recommend Amanda Miller for any real estate assistance that you may need! Amanda is honest, knowledgeable and straightforward. Any advice she gave me in selling my home was always in my best interest. Whether buying or selling, you can trust Amanda to provide the best representation possible!

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 considered four real estate agents before asking Chris Small to help us sell our house this year. We chose him because he gave us a realistic assessment of the market, the price range we should expect and the work we should do to get the best price. Chris laid out a logical plan and a timeline we could live with. He recommended a listing timeline that was different than what we were planning and I’m glad he did! Chris brought in a fantastic team of experts to look at everything from light switches to paint to www. Once we agreed with Chris on which repairs were most valuable and important, my wife and I appreciated how he stayed connected with us and the workers. I turned it over to Chris and his staff, and I didn’t have people call me asking about color choices or specific light fixtures. The house looked great when the work was finished and the staging was in place. We both agreed we should raise the price beyond our original estimate, and within four days we had multiple offers well in excess of the asking price – the best offer was almost 10 percent over asking price and completely beyond our expectations! I can’t stress enough the importance of having a good plan and sticking to it – Chris was a master at that. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking to get the highest price for their house, with the fewest headaches.

I cannot recommend a better realtor than Steve Payne! He comes with experience and understanding of not just the buying and selling process but also what to really look for in a house. As a past inspector, he was able to help us mitigate problems before we put our house on the market and when a few issues came back (as they always do), we were able to fix them quickly and cost effectively with his guidance. He also has renovation experience which is helpful when looking at houses to buy for ideas and inspiration. If you are looking to build, he can help you navigate the build process and really advocate for you to make sure your builder is providing you a quality home. I am not one to post shoutouts but buying and selling a house are some of the biggest decisions a person can make and having a quality guide that you can trust will make that experience so much smoother and less stressful. Steve is that guide!

“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

Last year, while we were having no luck selling our house in the Museum District for $508,000, Chris Small sold a similar house on our block for more in the first week it was on the market. So we asked him to list our house. He had very good advice about what it would take to sell it, and he made sure the work got done efficiently. When we brought the house back on the market, it sold the first weekend for $590,000 – $30,000 over his suggested list price. I was amazed. We had a great experience with Chris, and I’d highly recommend him to others.

He was very frank with us that we needed to make it look like a home and that it needed to be staged, repainted and modernized. He followed through on everything he said he would do and met his deadlines. He kept us on task, and he got the job done. Those changes are what let a family see it as a home that they could live in. Chris was absolutely the reason the house for sold for more than $1 million, If the person selling the house does not believe it is worth more than $1 million, then it will never sell for that amount. He absolutely believed, 100 percent, that our house was worth more than that. He was able to frame the house in such a way that other people could see that, too. We give him huge kudos for that.

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

I had a difficult transaction that involved an estate sale for a minor child. This was complex and demanded patience and thoroughness. Kiernan took on this challenging endeavor without hesitation. Kiernan was always available when needed throughout this process. I would highly recommend this agent, he will listen to your goals and needs. Kiernan will provide an honest evaluation of each scenario that suits your needs.
