Testimonials

Melissa was an amazing realtor! My wife and I were first time home buyers and we had a large number of questions. She was very patient in walking us through the process in finding an amazing home. She was extremely available and helpful from start to finish.

I moved back home to Richmond in September of 2022, and I was able to find my forever home only with the help and support of Leigh Shobe! She listened carefully to my needs as a condo owner, and made efficient use of my time by showing me only condos that met my requirements. Leigh is an expert communicator, and kept me up to date in a timely manner through out the process of finding a unit, making an offer, and closing. She knows her profession inside and out, and shared her wisdom about the Richmond real estate market, supporting my decisions and answering my many questions! Her enthusiasm and positive attitude were crucial in my search, since there wasn't a lot of inventory in the early fall and I could have been easily discouraged. She is an excellent sounding board. She patiently listened to all my questions, giving me time to reflect and make my own decisions. She was critical in helping me decide on my offer! Moving back home to Richmond after decades in Chicago was my dream for many years. Only with Leigh's support and knowledge of her professions and the RVA market is that dream now a reality.

Michelle was an amazing listing agent for our home. From the very start, she expertly walked us through all aspects of the selling process and made it seamless from the day we listed to when we closed. I would recommend Michelle to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the greater Richmond area.

Ernie helped my wife and I sell both of our homes and purchase a new home together. Ernie was always very knowledgeable, available, and often times the voice of reason. He provided us guidance without pushing us in a certain direction and was incredibly professional when we had to deal with a difficult buyer. We could not have had a better buying/selling experience because of him and he will be the only realtor we recommend to friends in the Richmond area.

Buying a home is a big decision, and we were grateful to have a trusted expert and friend guiding us through that fun, exciting, and important process. Rebecca made it a point to understand our goals, and she took care of every detail from start to finish. Her knowledge, spirit, and approach made the experience helpful, enjoyable, and successful. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Rebecca on this most personal and significant undertaking.

I was a first time home buyer with a limited price range and no idea of what kind of house I wanted. I was probably the worst possible client for a real estate agent. I think my exact words of the kind of house I wanted was the best house possible for my price range. Peggie showed me countless houses for almost a year and Bob helped me, personally, to qualify for a home mortgage. The best part of the experience was the peace of mind, knowing Peggie would only sell me house that she herself would want to buy. Some real estate agents only care about sell now but Peggie and Bob pride themselves on repeat business. They often times end up selling houses to the sons and daughters of whose parents they originally sold to. I chose the Smolko real estate team because I knew they would care more about me than their commission.

I did not realize we were even looking for a home when my husband surprised me with Greer and showings in Chesterfield. Greer was patient with my questions and concerns throughout the whole process. We ended up with a beautiful home on a nice plot of land. She worked with our financial constraints of a VA loan and my anxiety of home buying. She was great and I would highly recommend her!

Chris Ellis is Skillful and Knowledgefull!

I can’t thank Chris Ellis enough for helping me buy my first house at 70 years old! I had been renting a home for 46 years until my landlord died and I had to move suddenly. I had absolutely no interest in buying a house until a good friend introduced me to Chris Ellis. He was very patient, skillful, and knowledgefull throughout the entire process. He made my home buying experience very easy for me to purchase my first home. Thank you so much, Chris.

Chris Led Us Through Every Step With Patience

We can't thank Chris enough for helping us buy our first house. We were total novices, but he lead us through every step with patience. We were very lucky to have him as our agent and we look forward to referring our friends and family to him.
