I recently sold my home ( Fall 2023) and the buyers side chose to use Appomattox Title Co. I've…read moreowned 2 homes and this was by far the worst closing ever! There were so many hiccups and this company held almost $4000 of my funds in "escrow " due to an erroneous debt less than half that amount from 2012 that was paid off in 2013!!!!!!! They refused to release all of our funds after closing and made it terribly challenging for my husband and I to get our money back even after providing multiple times through emails and and phone calls receipts that the debt was erroneous and had be paid off in FULL 10 years ago! I ended up having to drive almost 2 hours to go in person to their office to speak with someone about the matter. Once I got there, they were very polite and accommodating in refunding our money from closing because they knew that they were dead wrong in how they dealt with our family in such a harsh way. BUT WHY did they put our family through this terrible experience in the first place?! We were told by our Title company that had done what they were supposed to do but Appomattox Title still kept holding our funds unlawfully. Questionable business practices.

JFP is a great agency for buying a house In the Richmond area. Our agent, Logan, was great, and the…read moreprocess was seamless. However, (and the reason I'm only putting 4 instead of 5 stars) is that they will try and push you towards their "preferred" businesses for title, warranties, etc. Just be cautious is all I can say. Please don't make the same mistake we did, and do your research into these companies. It's not exactly clear what kind of partnership, agreements, or kick-backs they may be getting for pushing them. The decision is, of course, always up to you as the buyer. Shop around, compare prices, read the small print, and when someone at the agency hands you a paper to sign saying this is our preferred business for x,y, or z, tell them you're going to shop around first. On that note, Cinch home warranty (their "preferred" or "recommended" warranty service) has been an absolute nightmare riddled with incompetence to deal with. A proper review of that scam will be put on their respective sites and the BBB, but for JFP, it should fall on them to recommend the best, not just their partners, especially to new, first-time home buyers. Again, stay far, far, far away from Cinch for your 1st year home warranty.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after our experience, I feel it's important to share…read more We rented from this company for eight years. Throughout our tenancy, communication was often poor. It was difficult to get responses when maintenance issues arose, and after moving out, communication regarding our security deposit was also lacking. We asked questions about the deductions and never received complete answers. We worked hard to leave the home in good condition. The house was vacuumed and generally cleaned, and my husband mowed and maintained the yard the day before we moved out. We expected some routine cleaning after eight years, but we were shocked that only about $600 of our approximately $2,000 security deposit was returned. Many of the deductions appeared to us to be for normal wear and tear that naturally occurs after an eight-year tenancy. We were also charged for landscaping even though the yard had been maintained before we turned over possession. Our experience left us feeling that the deposit deductions were unfair and that our concerns were not taken seriously. Because of the lack of communication and how our move-out was handled, we cannot recommend renting from this company. We encourage prospective tenants to thoroughly document the property's condition with photos and videos at both move-in and move-out and to keep records of all maintenance requests and communications.

Rennae assisted me in my home buying process. I reached out to Rennae to inquire about the process…read moreand she immediately began educating me on what home ownership could look like for me. She referred me to a trusted lender who was also very knowledgeable and worked with me diligently. Rennae was resourceful, readily available to answer questions, and encouraged me during the process. She was able to get me into a starter home in less than 4 months of me contacting her. She helped me stay within my budget, pointed out key things to look for, and how to interact with lenders and home inspectors. I recommend Rennae to anyone looking to buy a home. Just know she always has YOUR best interest in her mind as she aids you in finding the perfect home for you!

I was impressed with her market research as well as her strategy for marketing my home and felt she had my best interests as a priority. Ann's energy, positive attitude, and extensive knowledge of the Richmond market made the normally painful process of putting my house on the market far less stressful than previous experiences! She communicated well, gave great advice in staging my home, and is well-versed in dealing with other local agents. I relied on Ann for recommendations for everything from a detailed home inspector to a last-minute cleaning service. I would highly recommend Ann Parsons as a professional, savvy, well-informed, and delightful person to work with in helping navigate what has become a very difficult housing market.

I followed him and his real estate journey for probably over a year, until one day (Aug 7, 2023, to be precise), I slid into his DMs to ask him about purchasing a house. On September 19, my husband and I closed on a great house in downtown King William. Thanks to Michael and his ease of explaining the process, making exceptional recommendations (bankers, home inspection, negotiation, etc) he made home buying feel almost easy. And that is here in the midst of not the greatest inventory when you have a specific budget in mind and the interest rates being what they are. Michael was hilarious and personable, but professional at the same time. If you are in the market to purchase a home, ESPECIALLY if you are a first-time home buyer, give him a call and let him guide you to your happy place (home).
