What Our Clients are Saying

THE BATES FAMILY

Kelly is fantastic! She really knows the market and gave us great recommendations when we were buying and selling. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to get top dollar selling their house. Her team is also excellent with buying!

Taylor and Sheldon Bates

THE BODT FAMILY

Moving across the country in this competitive market would not have been possible without an agent we could trust. We bought our house sight unseen for above the asking price and would never have contemplated doing so except that we felt so much confidence in Kelly’s guidance, her market knowledge, her designer’s eye for detail, and the sense that she understood us and our priorities. We couldn’t be more pleased with both the process and the outcome and can’t say enough good things about Kelly and her team.

John and Laura Bodt

THE MONES FAMILY

Kelly has helped us through multiple real estate transactions over the past 4 years – both personal homes and investments. We have worked with many agents, but once we found Kelly we have had her handle all of our transactions to date. She is kind, organized, insightful, and extremely well prepared.  One thing that continues to impress us is the extensive research Kelly does for her clients. She has an ability to stay calm and effectively communicate, often by phone or in person (not just text and email), with other agents and has kept even the most charged situations together and moving forward. Lastly, Kelly understands ongoing relationships, and the emotional component to real estate. She creates genuine relationships with her clients that extend far beyond the buying or selling transaction. It’s been a joy to work with her in the past, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

THE GIBSON FAMILY

Kelly is who you want steering the ship when it comes to navigating the home buying process. She has a significant amount of experience and that paired with her drive to get us what we wanted was a winning combination. Kelly was able to smooth over any bumps we encountered and made the entire process a positive one. We highly recommend you choose Kelly to guide and support you if you’re seeking to buy property in the Richmond area!!

Shawn and Valerie Gibson

THE LARSON FAMILY

Kelly was very considerate in helping us achieve the price we wanted, and we got it within 3 weeks! Shannon Reppard, the stager was an incremental part of the showing of our home. We loved the organizing and marketing she did to really showcase our home. The photographer was fantastic, too. We still love those photos and memories of our home! Thanks team!

Brett and Katie Larson

THE MURPHY FAMILY

Kim was extremely helpful in showing us multiple properties in the Richmond, Virginia area (specifically West End). She not only helped us purchase our primary residence, but has also been a tremendous help for us in our search for a rental property. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Richmond area, as well as the rental market. This team of women are true gems:  they never make you feel as though they are too busy to handle requests, and they bend over backwards to show properties in a timely fashion that interest us. They are so polite and truly go the extra mile for their clients. We often felt as though we were their only client! (which I definitely know is not the case!) We are truly thankful for their updates on properties on the market, as well as their expertise in assisting us with offers on houses of interest. I couldn’t recommend Kim more!  We were out of state, and Kelly was more than accommodating in helping us find our dream home while miles away! Kelly viewed houses on our behalf with us via FaceTime and made the process extremely easy and as stress-free as possible. She made everything such a breeze and is extremely knowledgeable on the area. She is also honest, which is greatly appreciated from a realtor. We also worked with Shannon Reppard, who has a great eye for design and discussing functionality of the homes we viewed.  I couldn’t recommend working with this team more! We found our dream home in our dream neighborhood, thanks to this team!

Laura and Chris Murphy

THE KELLEY FAMILY

Kelly, thank you for finding our true dream home!  You made the process of selling and buying a home go so smoothly.  Given the market, we anticipated a difficult time, but you made the entire process unbelievably easy and efficient.  You have so many resources to draw from and a masterful knowledge of the current events that define the housing industry.  The level of communication you maintained throughout the process was extremely helpful.  You went far beyond our expectations of a real estate agent.  She is professional, trustworthy, and provided valuable insight during the whole process.  Kelly is someone you want to know as an agent and want to have as a friend.  Without hesitation, we will absolutely recommend your services in the future.

KERRY VAN SHURA

As a first-time home buyer, and someone new to Richmond, I was very nervous about buying a home.  I was referred to Kelly and boy did I get lucky! She listened to everything I said I wanted in a home and helped me work out what I liked and what I didn’t like, even when I couldn’t put it into words. She was honest, flexible and accomodating to a medical resident’s crazy schedule and she (very patiently) took me to see upwards of 30 houses! I was very impressed with her knowledge of home systems, home structures and Richmond area neighborhoods. And if she didn’t know the answer to a question, she had someone just a phone call away to get a quick answer for me. She even dug into a crawl space and took a picture for an HVAC installer to see and give an estimate of the costs to install AC! I have heard horror stories of the home-buying process but it turned out to be a fun and exciting experience for me! I have found my new home and I couldn’t be more excited about it, I do believe I have Kelly to thank for that.

Jonathan and Annette Pittman

Kelly did an amazing job for us.  She sold our Westover Hills house in six days during a time when most houses in our neighborhood were on the market for months.  We were especially grateful that she helped us overcome multiple hurdles, including a difficult Home Inspection addendum, throughout the sale and closing process.  Kelly paid great attention to detail and explained the process to us thoroughly, which we appreciated as this was the first time we had sold a home.

Jonathan and Annette Pittman

Pete and Rebecca Hohl

Thank you Kelly, for representing us in buying our beautiful home in Powhatan. Throughout the whole process, you were very personable and enjoyable to talk to. Your dedication and instant feedback made us feel like we were your first priority. Even after the sale, you gave us the same kind of attention whenever we had a question. We feel very lucky to have had you as our realtor!

Paul and Chrissy Keeton

Along with the blessings of a quickly growing family came also a quickly growing need for a bit more room and ultimately a new home that was “us.” A cup of coffee with Kelly left us comfortable that she understood our needs and could help us realize our vision.  She proved to be everything we wanted as young working parents making a major investment, and everything we needed in an advocate for negotiating two real estate transactions on our behalf.  She added an expert’s perspective in what our new home could be, and just as importantly the methodical and passionate approach of a real professional in helping us sell our old home faster than we could ever have imagined.  It was a wonderful experience and that cup of coffee was pretty good too!

THE LANPHEAR FAMILY

Kelly represented us in selling our home in Stratford Hills. Her professional photography team and staging experts did a great job helping us make the house attractive to prospects both in person & online. We had a quick offer and Kelly was able to guide us through the negotiation process as well as a tough situation with some radon remediation. Thanks!

Doug and Pat Reed

Kelly Blanchard and Kim Nix were very professional and extremely helpful in our search for a home in Richmond, VA. We have moved 8 times to different states and bought homes in each. This may have been our most difficult move because we were on our own financially (other moves were corporate) and Richmond had become a “sellers market due to low inventory”. We looked at over 200 homes in a six month period. Kim & Kelly got to know us well, were very helpful with advise, and very responsive to our needs. They were always available on a moments notice. We would highly recommend these two real estate professionals and their associate, Shannon Reppard, to anyone moving to Richmond or relocating in the Richmond area.

John and Mary Clarke Bourgeois

Kelly Blanchard is a fantastic real estate agent! She’s a terrific liaison and mediator for a seller. With her years living in Richmond, she’s knowledgable about the city and surrounding areas, the neighborhoods, does good and thorough research to find the best price for selling a house, and is very well connected to the Richmond community, which we found very helpful and valuable. Kelly is a honest and fair agent who works hard to make buying and selling houses a stressless as possible. She and her team are well respected and highly regarded in Richmond. We would highly recommend Kelly and her team any day to anyone who is interested in buying or selling their home, hands down!

Mike and Hillary Mikeska

Kelly and her team were a pleasure to work with as we undertook the daunting process of preparing our first home for sale, selling it, and finding a new home for our family to purchase. We interviewed several local realtors, but almost immediately decided to work with Kelly after meeting with her and feeling so comfortable with her honest, direct approach to the local market. Selling a home can be a draining process, but Kelly’s calm, rationale demeanor kept us grounded throughout. In addition to her great attitude, her knowledge and skills are top-notch–she helped us negotiate full-asking price for our home within a week of putting it on the market!

Doug and Jeanne Domenech

We sold our home in the Fan in the Spring of 2014. Kelly helped us so much through the entire process, and we are seasoned buyers and sellers, as this was our 6th sale. Her market analysis was spot on, and she helped us through the fast-moving Fan market, giving us the information we needed to make a wise pricing decision. Our contract was ratified in no time, and Kelly stayed involved through the inspection and addendum process, which is hard to avoid with a 100+ year old home.
