We moved to the Richmond, VA area this spring from Alabama. Christine was great with providing us information about the local area and helped us learn our way around the Richmond vicinity. We previously moved a number of times, but Christine provided a review of the purchasing process in Virginia, which has some unique requirements. She responded quickly and was easily available by both phone and email. Christine continues to respond to questions we have about the area even after the purchase was completed. And Christine was able to negotiate a great purchase contract for us in a strong seller's market.
Christine was an exceptional realtor, she excelled in all the categories above. She has extensive local knowledge, and was an excellent negotiating partner. I would recommend her to anyone.
My husband and I, both retired, were nowhere near ready to buy, let alone "upsize," when curiosity led me to a neighborhood open house hosted by Christine Shepard. The layout caught my imagination, and Christine not only shared the excitement of this unlikely client but took time to explain what it would take to go from curious to serious. She proved to be everything one would want in a realtor--knowledgeable, efficient, hardworking, responsive--but her encouragement and support, and her respect for us and our concerns, fostered a relationship of trust that enabled us to keep taking the next step until the house was ours. We would highly recommend her to anyone of any age and at any stage of looking for a new home!
I had a fantastic experience with this realtor. Christine Shepard did a wonderful job helping me to navigate an extremely challenging real estate market as a first-time buyer. Christine's strategic outlook and knowledge of the market meant that I was able to weather setbacks and find a home that fit my needs and budget. She brought a positive attitude to the process and consistently went above and beyond to make the process less stressful. I'm grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her.
I can't begin to tell you how helpful Christine Shepard was in the sale of a property recently. Due to the location of the property, there were a few more obstacles than I had ever faced before. Regardless, Christine did additional research, suggested a respectable price, and we were able to sell for more than the asking price, plus close within 30 days. Additionally, Christine loaded up her car with a few items I could not fit in mine on moving day, saving me a lot of time and money. I highly recommend Christine Shepard for your realty needs.
Christine Shepard has been an amazing friend, advisor, and miracle worker. A great personality with a caring heart. Having spent 3+ years selling our home in Chattanooga, we moved to Richmond so that we could be close to our 2 children who now had their own family. Four grand kids wanted nothing more in life than to have their Grandparents around, yet the 9+ hour drive from Chattanooga was getting a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, we simply couldn't find a house in our price range that we liked. After working, endlessly, with another realtor (homes were sold by the time we were able to look at them), we met with Christine for lunch one day and explained what we wanted in the Richmond area. That was a Friday afternoon and we left feeling hopeful. Saturday afternoon Christine called with a home that was having an open house Sat & Sun and thought we should go look at it. We scheduled a visit on Sunday at noon. The house looked like it had what we were looking for and by 1:00, we had seen enough. We were very interested. Christine's team went to work and by 5:00, after virtual meetings with everyone, we decided to go after the home with our best offer. By 7:30, Christine called us with a "Welcome to Richmond'' message, telling us there had been over 12 offers and ours was the winning package. Truly a Dream Come True. Christine and her team then helped arrange everything that was necessary for the closing, from inspections, closing date, and all the necessary topics to make sure we were protected, insured, and taken care of to make the closing day one of sheer delight. Totally breathtaking. I highly recommend Christine to anyone that is looking in the real estate marketplace. If she doesn't personally know an answer to your question, she has surrounded herself with one of the finest realty teams around, who will, in fact, have the answer. Thank you, Christine, for all of your help and assistance. We absolutely LOVE our new home.
Christine was amazing! She helped us every step of the way - even before we moved to Virginia! Every time we had a question, she responded immediately. The peace of mind knowing that she was guiding us was so helpful during the stress of an out-of-state move. She was equally astute when it came time to put an offer on the table. It turned out she saved us almost $15,000 because of her knowledge of the market in this area. And even more than all this, she was a wonderful ambassador to Virginia and all the area has to offer. We highly recommend Christine for your real estate needs!!
My husband and I met the Gauthiers 2019 the first time when buying our fourth home in Richmond, VA. I have never met any realtor's that have been more understanding of our needs. They have such strong deep ethical pride and passion for their work. They are very skilled and professional in negotiations and good advisors. When we sold our house 2023 due to international move our decision was easy on what realtors to chose. Everything from start to finish was very professional and well handled. They always go the extra mile for their clients with a positive attitude and making sure you feel comfortable and understands everything in the process. If you need a skilled team this is the one.
Dial is deeply caring about her clients and we learned this first hand when she sold our home. While Dial is personable and quick-witted, she is also good-hearted and professional. She took the time to understand our needs and supported us from start to finish on the sale of our home. This support ranged from helping us to better understand the process leading up to the sale, to the sale itself, and even afterwards as she guided us successfully along the way. She was eager to step in, push up her sleeves and work hard for our benefit. She is honest, wise and looked out for our best interest during this process. I would highly recommend Dial to sell your home or help you to find a new one! She is awesome and you will be very pleased to call her your realtor and friend!
Jeff was great at helping us find our new home. He showed us many houses and helped us though the buying process. Thanks for all your help Jeff!
