Buyer
‟We had an amazing experience working with Dave Brookins. We had only been living in Richmond for a year before beginning to look for a home, and it was super helpful to have him guide us through the buying trends in each neighborhood. He was positive throughout the entire process and patient as we looked for months during the craziness of the housi ng market. He was also incredibly thorough in helping us understand the various paperwork that goes into making an offer and before our closing date. He's responsive, great with communication, and wants what's best for his clients. We've already recommended Dave to friends looking to buy or list their homes in the Richmond area, and plan to work with him again whenever we're ready for our next place.” Read More ▾

"Dave went above and beyond our expectations" -Anna Ortiz Genova

Buyer
‟My husband and I worked with James and Dave on our home search in the Richmond area. We were coming out of state and didn’t know what to expect. Before we committed to this team we had 2 other groups we were testing out, to see who really had our best interest— James and Dave went above and beyond our expectations. It was no competition. They were honest with us throughout the whole process, they were quick to respond and matched our sense of urgency when we needed it and never made us feel like we had to push ourselves beyond our limit. They used their long lasting relationships in the industry to talk with seller agents and provide advice on what to look for. It’s because of their advice and relationships that we were able to purchase a beautiful home that met all of our requirements in a seamless manner.” Read More ▾

"He was very patient and constantly offering reassurance" -Natalie Atkins

Buyer
‟As a first time home buyer, Dave made me feel very comfortable every step of the way. He was extremely helpful, transparent, and reliable throughout the entire process. He made himself as available as possible and was very accommodating to my work schedule. It took me some time to narrow down what I wanted and we ended up looking at quite a few houses. But he was very patient and constantly offering reassurance that we would find the house for me, which we did! I would highly recommend Dave, and I would absolutely work with him again in the future.” Read More ▾
