Top Real Estate Team Richmond, VA | The Strum Group

“Jamie was exactly the real estate agent we needed. We had a tight turnaround to get into a new home before our lease ended, and he helped find us great options in a very competitive market while making sure that … we did not settle, even with our tight timeline. We ended up in our first choice of neighborhood in a home that we absolutely love because of him. He was readily available, extremely knowledgeable about the market, and patient with our learning process as first time homebuyers. I would send any friend his way to buy or sell a home.” Show More

“My partner and I came across The Strum Group by chance while we were researching agents and saw they had a wealth of knowledge in different areas around Richmond and great reviews. We were paired with Jamie because she has … experience working as a Buyer's Agent and with first time home buyers, which we are! Jamie worked with us to pin-point what was most important and we ended up loving the very first house we went to go see as a team. We had been looking at houses for about a year casually so we were ecstatic to find a perfect match. Jamie gave us expert advice on how to submit an attractive offer and negotiate fast turnaround times. After our offer was accepted, Jamie walked us through each step in the process and recommended excellent professionals for when we needed inspections, lawyers, and movers. Communication was priority #1 for our family and Jamie was thorough, patient, and speedy. We would recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking to have both independence and security in the home buying process as she was never pushy but was always willing to research with us to find answers. And lastly, on our closing day, Jamie helped with our day-of nerves and we felt she was truly excited for this next step for our family! L” Show More

“James was highly recommended by several of my fraternity brothers who have used him along with the Prosperity Mortgage team. From getting us staged to sell, having an amazing photographer, many showings, and a couple of offers, we sold our … house on a nice but busy street. On the buy side, we couldn't be happier. We didn't have many options in Bon Air but James came through with our Forever Home. The place wasn't even on the market and the man convinced the owner it was time to sell. One of the easiest, most seamless transactions I've ever done. We love our new home and hope anyone else in the market to buy or sell in the Richmond area wants to take the easy road and signs with James. ” Show More

“Bottom Line: If you don't go with James, your doing yourself a disservice. My wife and I were very happy with the service James Strum provided in the recent sale of my home in Richmond's Northside (Rosedale). … He was able to sell a home I had owned for almost 10 years and hadn't lived in for 7 years. He was there for me when I returned from an Iraq deployment in 2009 and helped me find a tenant to occupy the home when it got slow. Then when the opportunity came to sell, when it was financially right for me, he was there to market, price, advise, help, befriend, negotiate, and sell the home. James is a class act, honest, a man of integrity, and, in my opinion one of Richmond's finest real estate agents. He's not only served me, but my closest family members, and his service has transformed into friendship. I can honestly say there is no other agent in Richmond that I will ever do a real estate transaction with unless their name is James Strum. Please consider this to be a frank and honest assessment of a great agent; you need not look elsewhere for a greater professional for this industry. ” Show More

“James Strum found our dream home! After months of searching ourselves, we contacted James and gave him an impossible multi-page list of our new home’s requirements. The first day we came to Richmond, we looked at him dubiously … when he told us that he had found our dream home – but he was right! Although the house was out of our price range – and first day on the market with a lot of interest – he was somehow able to negotiate our dream price as well. The house has proved to be perfect, and we are truly grateful to James. We also appreciated James’s “pointers” along the way…he explained many pros and cons of homes using knowledge far beyond that of a layperson. Being new to Richmond, we also appreciated the knowledge of the local area he was able to share. He is always available and went “above and beyond” in so many ways - we would highly recommend James to anyone.” Show More

“He knew what would be a good fit for me, in a suitable area, but was willing to show me a number of other places to help me compare and make up my own mind.”

“After struggling to find someone to help us short sale our condo, I found James Strum via Zillow. I sent him an email and he responded to me within twenty four hours. The day after that he called me and … we started the selling process. I had never sold a house before, and to top it off was short selling after losing my job. James was incredibly patient with all of my questions. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like James cared about teaching me as we went along. He was very clear on the paperwork I needed to gather and the communication I needed to submit to out bank. He explained how he wanted me to show the house, and helped me move furniture to make it look even nicer. He put our condo on the market while we were on vacation, and he got a contract within seventy two hours!!!! I was so excited I didn't even want to believe it at first. We had discussed that short sales were a long process, but getting a contract do quickly was a huge first step. Following the act of getting the contract, I did everything James told me as quickly and accurately as possible, as he was very knowledgeable on what we needed to do. As it turned out, our efforts payed off and the closing was moved up. All in all it took about forty five days to sell and close on our house. I could not be more impressed with how if all worked out and truly believe it was all because of James. He was AMAZING to work with. Confident, efficient, attentive, timely, responsible, dedicated, and personable. I can't wait until we are able to buy one day because he will be the person I trust to help me.” Show More

“James was an outstanding realtor. He made us feel like we were his only clients and was extremely quick in responding to any communication we had with him. As first time home buyers, James was patient and took the time … to explain to us any procedural and clerical inquiries we had. He has a great eye for houses, and was quick to point out any flaws homes we were looking at had. James is extremely honest, and he completely looks out for the best interests of his clients. Instead of pushing a subpar home to get a sale, James will point out deal breakers and try to find you the best home in your budget. James and his team also took care of a lot of the legwork that most others realtors will not once the home is under contract. He stays with you the whole way. His negotiation skills are excellent and he provided us the house at the exact price point we wanted. James Strum is an outstanding realtor and shows true concern and compassion for his clients. He is a refreshingly honest person who I would use again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended. ” Show More

“Jamie is very knowledgeable about the home buying process, and knows the Richmond area well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.”

“I contacted several realtors at the end of 2012 and chose James due to his professionalism, courtesy and responsiveness. James immediately did his due diligence by conducting a thorough market analysis and developed an appropriate listing price that I … agreed to. He listed the property and we received 2 competitive offers (thus allowing for full listing price) in 8 just days. This was a short sale transaction with numerous challenges, and he efficiently and effectively negotiated with the first and second lienholders and closed it in 83 days. James gets 6 stars on a 5 star rating scale! I would use his services again and I highly recommend him to others in need of these services.” Show More

“Drew and his team did an outstanding job for us from start to finish. We interviewed a number of agents before we found Drew. He is an excellent listener and showed genuine interest in our historic home’s details and features. … Rather than viewing our property as just another product to put on the market, he took the time to study the overall potential and then put together a very creative marketing plan that attracted a huge amount of buyer; far beyond what we ever imagined. We were also very impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail and wonderfully calm demeanor while orchestrating the various elements as we prepared our home for market. He provided us with excellent stagers, painters, photographers and made suggestions that helped sell our home. With all of these aspects combined, in addition to negotiating hard on our behalf, Drew was able to get us 9 enthusiast offers. The end result was incredible, as we got $61,000 over asking!!! Not only did he work diligently throughout every step of the process, he made it a pleasant experience that we will always remember fondly. Selling a home can be a daunting challenge to undertake, but when you are working with a quality individual who employs an experienced team, the effort transforms from overwhelming into exciting. Drew and his team are not just outstanding, they are good people. We are so grateful we went with our instincts and selected him as our agent; the rest is history, in a wonderfully good way!” Show More

“Cole is an excellent realtor who took the time to get to know me, my girlfriend, and the members of my family who occasionally came along to view homes. I had extremely limited knowledge when it came to buying … a home and Cole helped me to narrow down the type of house and the location, as well as suggest some alternate locations that I hadn't thought of prior to starting my search. Additionally, Cole suggested that I view some homes that met what I was looking for that I may have otherwise missed without his assistance. Cole is extremely patient, knowledgeable, hardworking, and would willingly adjust his schedule to accommodate the times we could view homes. Furthermore, Cole was straight up with the information he shared and he told us exactly what it would take to have an offer accepted on a home. His insight was invaluable and it ultimately led to us getting a home in an extremely competitive market. I highly recommend him to anyone purchasing a home and I will definitely call Cole when I purchase a home in the future. L” Show More

“We feel so lucky to have found Cole in the home buying process! As first time … home buyers, our knowledge was very limited. Cole did an amazing job helping us understand the entire process. He has a great store of knowledge on the market and on the general construction of homes. When we went to view homes he inspected them top to bottom. He even got in the crawl spaces under the house to see what kind of condition the structure was in. He was incredibly responsive getting back to us all times day or night on questions and concerns. Cole did a great helping us structure our bid for the house we wanted. There were 2 other competing bids for the house, and he set up our offer in a way that we ended up winning the bid with very little back and forth. The entire process we felt like Cole had our best interests in mind and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Cole is a huge asset to have on your team in the home buying process, and we highly recommend working with him! ” Show More

“Jamie earned this rating, no question. We had been speaking with multiple agents, and she was the one who took the initiative and made it happen - so she earned our business by sheer force of will. Anyone who works … that hard to look out for us is an asset we couldn't pass up. Jamie is great to work with, and pivots readily when situations change. For a first time home buyer, she guided me through each step and helped us understand the finer points of what the process entailed. At no point did I feel like I was left hanging, and Jamie kept me informed throughout the closing process.” Show More
