Testimonials

Sally is hands down the best real estate agent that we've encountered. She patiently spent around 8 months working to ensure that we found the best house based on our unique needs and financial circumstances. She is always available and is a great communicator. It helps that she is in touch with the "pulse" of RVA and uses her network of colleagues and community connections to ensure that her clients have facts, resources, and knowledge required to make informed decisions to secure the most successful outcome. Sally is upbeat and a real advocate and cheerleader. There were a few instances during our journey that certainly required that level of support. In the end, we felt as if Sally was not our agent but a friend who took the time to use her professional services and strong communication and people skills to walk beside us during what turned out to be a long journey. Thank you Sally!

Went Above and Beyond

We are so incredibly lucky and appreciative to have worked with Chelle Bravo. We are first time home buyers, and she truly went above and beyond to make our experience easy, comfortable, and exciting for many reasons.

From the moment we met Chelle, we knew we were in extremely capable hands. Her exceptionally kind, charismatic, upbeat, and thoughtful demeanor made it feel as though we had been friends with her for years, which made the painstaking process of buying a home actually enjoyable and less nerve-racking. She consistently took steps to ensure that our best interests were prioritized and her constant consideration for our needs proved that Chelle always puts the buyers first before the sale.

Another aspect that we really appreciated was Chelle's constant communication and availability. We talked day and night through the buying process. In this market, we needed to move lightning fast with everything, and she always kept up. We knew that we could text her at 7 am or 11 at night, and Chelle always responded promptly. She met us on the fly when we randomly found a house, and quickly pivoted when times needed to change.

Perhaps the thing we appreciated most was Chelle's honesty and genuine, sincere effort to look out for us. She never hesitated to be honest with us about the pros and cons of a home, and we never once felt pushed into a house we didn't love. She honored our opinions and our process and masterfully facilitated viewings and decisions so that we felt informed, but in control.

I would highly recommend Chelle for any buyer because of her professionalism, diligence, and exceptional kindness and consideration. She found us the perfect first home to start our life together, and we are so incredibly grateful. Thank you, Chelle!

Went Above and Beyond

We are so incredibly lucky and appreciative to have worked with Chelle Bravo. We are first time home buyers, and she truly went above and beyond to make our experience easy, comfortable, and exciting for many reasons.

From the moment we met Chelle, we knew we were in extremely capable hands. Her exceptionally kind, charismatic, upbeat, and thoughtful demeanor made it feel as though we had been friends with her for years, which made the painstaking process of buying a home actually enjoyable and less nerve-racking. She consistently took steps to ensure that our best interests were prioritized and her constant consideration for our needs proved that Chelle always puts the buyers first before the sale.

When it came to finding the right home, she picked the most appropriate choices for us every single time. Her experience with matching clients to the perfect home was very apparent throughout the whole process- I am still in awe of her ability to find the best options for us after only having such brief interactions. When we took some efforts to find homes in our own search, Chelle was always quick, willing, and readily available to set up viewings.

Another aspect that we really appreciated was Chelle's constant communication and availability. We talked day and night through the buying process. In this market, we needed to move lightning fast with everything, and she always kept up. We knew that we could text her at 7 am or 11 at night, and Chelle always responded promptly. She met us on the fly when we randomly found a house, and quickly pivoted when times needed to change. I also want to note that Ralsie Brooke, a colleague of Chelle's, was just as compassionate, professional, and flexible. She helped us with two viewings when Chelle was unavailable, as life does tend to get in the way- even for super hero sellers! We knew we could always count on Chelle to respond and act promptly, which is so important in this business.

Perhaps the thing we appreciated most was Chelle's honesty and genuine, sincere effort to look out for us. We are a young couple who knew next to nothing about home buying and were looking in a market with plenty of people exploiting the vulnerable for the highest dime and lowest quality, but Chelle helped us navigate it with ease. She never hesitated to be honest with us about the pros and cons of a home, and we never once felt pushed into a house we didn't love. She honored our opinions and our process and masterfully facilitated viewings and decisions so that we felt informed, but in control.

I would highly recommend Chelle for any buyer because of her professionalism, diligence, and exceptional kindness and consideration. She found us the perfect first home to start our life together, and we are so incredibly grateful. Thank you, Chelle!

Always Accessible

I was lucky enough to meet Kim when she was actually selling her own house and I think fate put me there! Kim just helped me buy my first home and I couldn't have asked for a better guide through the journey. I looked in a number of areas - the near West End, Monument Park, Rosedale and Bellevue - but ultimately found my home in the Bryan Parkway neighborhood. Throughout the entire process, Kim was my advocate, advising me through the contract, inspection and closing - making sure I understood every step and asking questions on my behalf that I didn't even know I had. Even as we were looking at homes, she voiced her opinions like a friend, all in the sake of finding me the right house. I was delighted in how accessible she was - something that I imagine is impossible for a client to receive if they're working with a larger team. I can't begin to recommend Kim enough and first time home buyer or not, anyone would be lucky to have her help in buying their next home.

We LOVED working with Jarrod! From the minute we called with a house of interest, Jarrod was flexible to fit our schedules for showings and super responsive via phone and text. He worked hard to create a deal that was competitive and solid, using his knowledge and resources in this unpredictable, fast paced market. He listened to all of our concerns and addressed them with helpful, thoughtful solutions. He really made this real estate experience great!

Definitely Recommend

Bridgette has been so detailed and on top of every transaction needed during our home-buying experience. During our search we've gone from looking at houses, to property/lots, to homebuilders, and then back to houses again. She has been very patient and understanding with our indecisiveness, especially during the change in everyone's lifestyle change across the world. She's had great suggestions and advice when we've been unsure. She's recommended places to go and people to talk to regarding different loans so we have all questions answered before moving forward. I would definitely recommend her to anyone searching for or selling a home. She's local so she knows the area, as well as surrounding areas. She made sure she had an understanding of what we wanted so she could better help us find a home to fit the needs of everyone in our household. So glad we had her in this unplanned move during this difficult time in society.

Bridgette had helped us find our home in New Kent and sell our home in Charles City. She was detailed and very knowledgeable in both the buying and selling processes. She knew what we wanted and it seemed like she already knew how we would answer any issues before it became an issue. She was quick to give us any information regarding the transactions and quick to respond to any of our questions/concerns, no matter what it was about. She was honest about any concerns, but definitely kept it up to us on final decisions.

Fun to Work With!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Drew! He helped us buy our very first home and knew exactly what to do to snag us the best deal possible in an EXTREMELY competitive market right now. Every little question or thought we had, he had the answer for. He never got tired of holding our hand and walking us, baby steps, through the whole process. Not only is he knowledgeable and helpful, he is so super personable and friendly. We never felt out of place with him, comfortable the whole time. Never that awkward, strangers moment. We felt as though this was someone we had known for a while, which made us that much more comfortable asking him all of our questions and bouncing ideas back and forth. He’s also super honest about how things work, and when you need his opinion as a friend. I’m so glad our friends put us in touch with him, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! He’ll always be our go to realtor guy from here on out. THANK YOU DREW!

My partner and I had an amazing experience working with Gabrielle. Being new to Virginia, We were overwhelmed with where to even begin. Gabrielle really focused on what was important to us, and helped guide us in purchasing our first home. She made the process easy for us while being out of state and went out of her way to make our first day looking at homes not only about the house but also getting us familiar with the Richmond area. We are excited about our new home and could not thank Gabrielle enough in working with us. We are excited to continue on our real estate journey wit her.
