Trustworthy and Responsive

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Mike. From the beginning of our home search to after closing, he guided us step-by-step through the whole home buying process. A few things really stand out about Mike, first, as a Richmond native, he helped us understand Richmond's housing market and its different neighborhoods. This allowed us to make informed decisions about the comparative prospective value of homes in different areas even though we had limited local knowledge. Second, Mike knew that homes in the neighborhoods we wanted to buy in flew off the market. So, in our first meeting, he explained the standard offer letter that we would use and the unique things we might expect to put in our offer. This proved invaluable because we ultimately had less than 24 hours to decide to place an offer on the house we bought. Because we knew how the offer process would work in advance, we felt entirely comfortable despite the pressing time constraints. Third, Mike's responsiveness and warm demeanor made us comfortable as we weighed where to buy, when to buy, and how much we could spend. We always felt like we could tell Mike our honest thoughts and concerns, even if it showed that our thoughts were all over the place at times. Plus, he responded to emails and calls very promptly, at night, and on weekends, especially the weekend we offered on our house. We cannot imagine going through this process without these open and honest lines of communication. Finally, and most importantly, we could trust Mike. We trusted his knowledge of the city, of what we should offer on a house, on who we should hire to install new floors, on what home will have the most lasting value, etc. Simply put, if you're buying a house in Richmond, Mike should be your agent.

Very Smooth Process

Thomas was great to work with! He looked outside his MLS, going out of his way to find me listings that matched my requests. He also took the time to walk me, as a first time home buyer, through the steps and provided detailed explanations that allowed for a very smooth process.

Community Ambassador

Chris is so much more than a realtor. He is a community ambassador. Not only did he carefully listen to our goals and make sure he had a clear understanding of our wish list, he made a point of introducing us to the community. He loves where he lives and it makes absolute sense that he's made a career out of sharing it. It's kind of as if Jimmy Stewart were showing you Bedford Falls... Thanks Chris

Very Impressive - 5 Stars!
Stellar Job - 5 Stars!
To be honest, it can appear easy to be a real estate agent, but this personal experience as a first-time seller has illustrated the knowledge and professionalism you must have to close a sale. Carrington was very impressive. She really took charge in a non-invasive way in several key aspects, maintained her ground by adhering to her schedule and being fair to all involved. Carrington is a personal friend to both Haywood and myself, which can be a bit stressful when it comes to business, and I am very proud to say that she did an excellent job – did not cross boundaries or take anything personally, and went above and beyond to accommodate us as the sellers and several agents whom represented buyers. Needless to say, we had five strong offers the first weekend on the market. Carrington was very impressive negotiating that evening, and crossed her “t’s” and dotted her “i’s” by calling the bank/lenders to make sure the offer we went with was going to close quickly. I could say much more on Carrington’s stellar performance. 5 stars!!!!!

Read this carefully, but only if you are interested in finding an amazing and professional real estate team. If you’re in the market for a realtor, your search should end at Randy and Jodi Haufe with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin and Fonville. I could not recommended them more highly. I had the unfortunate circumstance of helping my father list his home in Williamsburg while he was living with me in Ohio during what turned out to be the last few weeks of his life. Randy and Jodi were extremely caring and compassionate through the listings agreement, assisting with preparing the property, packing up and moving (during a tropical storm) process, to coming soon marketing, listing and showing the property, and organizing and presenting offers. They were tremendous in helping me navigate the numerous obstacles that arose following my father’s passing shortly after entering into a sales contract. They absolutely went above and beyond throughout the process to ensure all the details were addressed to complete the sale on schedule all while the transactions were occurring with the seller being out of state. They anticipated potential issues and were right on top of everything with prepared options and solutions ready every step of the way. They truly were a pleasure to work with even during a very difficult circumstance. They truly are an amazing and committed team that will treat you like family. You will not regret this decision!!
