A Thoughtful, Tailored Approach to Selling & Buying in RVA
…delivering value, clarity, transparency and joy…
Selling Your Home
I believe that preparation and targeted marketing are the key to a successful home sale. Your selling plan will be customized to your ideal target market and we’ll aim to complete the sale with the most net profit for you, in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of stress. White glove treatment, strategic staging, sharp pricing, and design-forward marketing will make your home shine.
Buying Your Home
From first-time buyers to seasoned movers, I’ll help you navigate RVA’s many neighborhood options with care. If you aren’t from the area, we’ll start with a customized tour, exploring highlights that make the area special. Then we’ll dig into our buying strategy, ensuring that your most important needs and wants are at the top of the list. I’ll use my “First to Know” process to make sure that you are learning of new opportunities before or as soon as they hit the market. During negotiations, I will be your #1 advocate, using timely market insights, creative problem-solving and local expertise to close your home deal.
Your RVA dream awaits…
You don’t just need an agent.
You need an advocate with insight,
creative solutions, and a plan.
With Richmond in my DNA, I know these neighborhoods, streets, and homes like the back of my hand. But deep roots are just the beginning. After a 15 year background with a leading advertising agency and years of experience guiding clients through both smooth and complex real estate journeys, I bring creative strategy and calm confidence to every step of every transaction. Whether buying or selling, you’ll receive a boutique experience built on sharp market insight, genuine partnership, and a touch of artistry that sets your home apart. My clients feel seen, guided and never pressured. I believe everyone deserves to love where they live, no matter their resources. I’m not just selling houses. I’m helping people find their place, in neighborhoods I know by heart.
Neighborhoods You Will Love
When buying or selling your home, you want a professional who is intimately familiar with the area. Someone who knows the best corner coffee shop, the shortcuts to avoid traffic and the history and future plans for a specific community.
My family history runs deep in Richmond and although I have traveled to 5 continents, RVA always calls me back. I have lived in all four corners of town, from The Fan to Short Pump to the East End to Midlothian and I’ve loved each for different reasons.
Let’s discover your happy place together.
“We used Cathy to help navigate a very challenging and complicated real estate transaction with our elderly parent’s home of 40+ years. I cannot state emphatically enough how helpful she was in the process! She has just the right demeanor and compassion to navigate the emotional as well as financial processes. Cathy has outstanding communication skills and operates in a very clear and organized manner with next necessary steps and timelines in the real estate process. We recommend her in the highest regard for her professionalism, expertise and outstanding demeanor throughout the process!”
“Cathy is an A++ real estate professional who was a dream to work with. She was eager to walk me through the the particular intricacies of selling our unique estate property in Glen Allen, offering advice she’s gained as a marketing and real estate pro and being more than willing to answer all of our questions. Throughout the whole process, her eye for the potential of our property was hugely appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a friendly and responsive realtor in central Virginia.”

The Tale of the Missing Inspection
Once upon a time in Richmond, Virginia, a young couple, Maya and Chris, found what seemed like the perfect house. It was brand-new—modern fixtures, gleaming floors, and that irresistible new house smell. The builder promised everything was done to code and even handed over a thick folder labeled “Certificate of Occupancy.”
Their real estate agent recommended they hire a third-party home inspector before closing, but Maya waved it off. “It’s brand new,” she said. “What could possibly be wrong?”
