Tenacity and Professionalism

The prospect of spending a sizable portion of one's life savings on a single investment is a little bit overwhelming to say the least. Fortunately, we had the privilege of working with Eliza Conrad who successfully found us our dream home! Location was a big factor for us and finding a home at a reasonable price that suited our needs and fell within our narrow parameters was a formidable challenge that Eliza pursued with tenacity and professionalism. As a Richmond native, Eliza affords an extensive spectrum of local knowledge to her clients, which proved extremely beneficial to us in some of toughest decision-making moments. She kept us well-informed throughout the process and promptly initiated communication among parties after every viewing ensuring all or our needs were met. Eliza's prudent negotiation skills solidified our offer, while preventing us from overpaying which can easily happen in this market! We couldn't have asked for a better home-buying experience that was all thanks to the skill and expertise of Eliza Conrad. I highly recommend her services to all looking to purchase a home in the Richmond, Va area. Thanks again, Eliza Conrad, for helping me find my dream home!

In early 2020, we became sole owners of a family property on the Northern Neck — rich in waterfront, very humble in structures. It had been on the market with a major Richmond firm for years. But far as we knew, it had never had even a nibble.

That long time listing was expiring. Based on what I’d learned of Doug Dorsey from reading BizSense, I thought he could help us. We emailed him in February 2020. A great online conversation ensued. Doug went down and had a look at the land. The one guideline we issued was that this was NOT a property that could be sold with pretty pictures alone. Doug told us not to worry. “I take the property to the buyer,” he said. That sounded mighty like a slogan — maybe a meaningless one? But we signed papers in March — days after Covid lockdown began. And in April Doug, having done exactly what he said he would do, brought us an excellent offer. A bit of back and forth, all of which worked to our advantage, followed. We closed in June. (Actually, everyone was more than willing to close earlier, but the Northumberland Courthouse was locked tight.)

All of which is to say, Doug Dorsey is THE BEST. (And have you seen his watercolors? What a talent.)

Cheryl made all our dreams come true. Got the first house we put our offer on and sold our old home for way more than we could ever imagine. She was super responsive every step of the way.

Bridget was an absolute joy to work with. She helped us buy our home in midst of a pandemic and a crazy housing market and showed us innumerable homes over an 8 month period as well as helped us with putting in offers on multiple homes. She was incredibly patient with us as first time homebuyers and responsive around the clock. I really trusted her advice when looking at homes as well - she has a great eye for potential problems that I would never have noticed and is incredibly committed to finding her clients the right home for them. She has a wealth of knowledge about the Richmond area and various neighborhoods. As if that is not enough, she is also delightful to spend time with and makes a stressful and overwhelming process fun. I would not hesitate to recommend her to absolutely anyone.

Looked Out For Our Best Interest
Kim was our realtor for a purchase and a sale. My husband and I were looking to find our retirement home and she helped us find our dream home and made the negotiations with the seller a pleasant experience. Once we were settled in our new home, we wanted to get our previous home in Fredericksburg ready for sale. Since we were so happy with Kim on the purchase of our house we asked her to sell this house for us even though it was not in her area. Kim contacted her colleagues in Northern Virginia so that we could target that area with the listing system there. Kim walked us through the process of getting the house ready for sale and selling it. She did a realistic comparison with other homes in the area to determine the right sales price. Next she helped us determine which items to fix around the house so that we could maximize the selling price of our home with the least amount of cost. Even though there were numerous other homes for sale in the neighborhood, our home looked great with the landscaping suggestions Kim gave us and it sold quickly at a price we were happy with.
Kim was always very prompt in responding to us and getting the answers we needed. She looked out for our best interest throughout the entire process. We were so pleased with Kim in every aspect of both the buying and selling of our homes and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

Wonderful Experience

Rebecca made the entire home buying process, from start to finish, a wonderful experience. She was extremely proactive, responsive, patient, and so incredibly knowledgeable. She made it clear that she wanted us to find the right house for our family and always kept our best interests at heart. I can’t imagine having anyone else guide us through the process and we couldn’t be happier with home we found!
