Holly was energetic and excited about helping us sell our father's condo. Her enthusiasm was refreshing! Holly kept us informed throughout the time the condo was on the market, sharing feedback from the perspective buyers. We would definitely refer Holly to a friend/family member.

Had an amazing experience with Gaye. I was moving from California to Virginia. I had never been to Virginia and Gaye immediately set this uptight business woman at ease. She knows her stuff, always gave great advice, was awesome at negotiating and found my family our dream home! Not only did I find an amazing realtor and someone I could trust, but I found a friend!

Sheri was the listing agent on my first real estate "flip." She was a pleasure to work with... knowledgeable, driven, detail oriented, and professional. I recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Mark Metcalf for Mair Downing

When my wife’s 99-year-old father passed away in August 2021, one of the biggest issues that she (as executor) faced was selling his home. So, as we considered realtors, my primary criterion was who had successfully (and recently) sold a home in the English Oaks subdivision. The only realtor who had done that was Mair— in addition, she managed to sell a home with a very “challenging” decor. When we spoke with her, she exuded enthusiasm, obviously understood the neighborhood and described a clear roadmap for selling the home. An additional factor was that, at her recommendation, we needed to get the home on the market by early November to avoid the typical Thanksgiving-to-New Year’s home sales slump. Mair exceeded our expectations. From the start she made impactful, yet achievable recommendations regarding preparing a home that had been well-maintained, yet lived in for 25 years. And, as needed, she arranged for professionals (e.g., cleaners, someone to power wash, a plumber, an electrician, a stager) to prepare the home and present it in the best possible light. Her professional attitude and attention to detail were very evident. If she didn’t know the answer to a question, she was very quickly able to get those answers. Also, since we lived over an hour away from Richmond, her willingness to drop by the home to deal with issues on our behalf was greatly appreciated. Ultimately, the home was listed in early November, sold (with multiple offers) in 3 days at 7.5% above the listing price, and closed two weeks later. While it’s true we sold in a seller’s market, due to her hard work and outstanding guidance we were able to offer a home that was appealing to buyers. We’re convinced that, without Mair’s assistance, it would not have sold as quickly (or as profitably) as it did.
