We're so fortunate to have found Jackie Main of The Strum Group! We visited the Richmond area last…read moresummer with the intent to meet a few realtors as we planned for our upcoming move. Jackie was the 2nd and last realtor with whom we met. We didn't know exactly how we were coordinating my wife's retirement, the sale our or San Diego home and the purchase of a home out here, but after an hour long meeting and some delicious muffins, we knew Jackie was the right realtor for us. She completely understood the logistics and rolled with every proposed change to our timeline and purchase plans. When the time finally came, Jackie was always accessible and willing to make the trip to the more rural areas outside of the city. Thankfully, we didn't need too many trips to find our home, which drew offers from other buyers within hours of officially going on the market. Jackie's realty expertise, knowledge of the community and willingness to work late into Saturday night allowed us to put a competitive offer together. Three weeks later, we moved in! Jackie not only made the home buying process simple from start to finish, but she did it with a genuine passion to find us the perfect home. Choosing a realtor requires a bit of a leap of faith. I'm glad we took that leap with Jackie Main. She's definitely earned our recommendation.

He explained and guided me through each step of the process, listened to my needs, and was always available to answer any and all questions. Drew made recommendations on lenders and appraisal companies, handled all the logistics, and communicated with third parties on my behalf.

I ended up finding a home with everything on my wishlist plus more, and Drew successfully negotiated a sale price not only under asking but also under the appraised value. I absolutely recommend his services.
