More About Nat

I love Richmond and want to share it with you! Come and join us!

My real estate business is unique and there are reasons why my clients have been so positive about their experience with me.

I handle both listing and buying in transactions.

Some agents only handle one side. I think that limits your knowledge. By working with both sellers and buyers you can understand what the other side is going through. If all you do is one side of transactions, you lose that understanding.

I choose to work with a team of professionals.

Be it service providers, lenders, or contractors I have vetted them and know that they will be there to do the job right the first time. Real Estate can be stressful, we don’t need to add to it.

The Key is Listening

Although most of our homes are sold through the Central Virginia MLS, that might not be the best way. For distressed properties, I have used online auctions to bring in a larger volume of cash buyers. On the other hand, sometimes good old word of mouth and networking is the best way to sell a home without a lot of fuss. The bottom line is to actively listen and then make recommendations.

If you are new to Richmond (or just have not gotten out in awhile) allow me to share some of the things I love about the RVA.

As a cyclist, I love to ride the back roads of Hanover and King William counties. However that’s not always the safest place to be and not a great place to learn to ride. I love that the Virginia Capital Trail www.virginiacapitaltrail.org is nearby and have used it’s entire length. There are plenty of places to park and ride different sections of the trail. Two great places to grab a bit to eat would be Ronnie’s BBQ in eastern Henrico or the Courthouse Café at the Courthouse in Charles City.

If you want a quick but fun tour of Richmond try www.rvaonwheels.com and see the city from a Segway. I have tried the Landmark tour as well as Hollywood Cemetery and highly recommend both.

If it is the weekend after Memorial Day then you must check out the Greek Festival at the Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Malvern Ave. www.greekfestival.com Come early as it get’s crowded. But the people watching and live entertainment make it worthwhile.

Although I enjoy going to the city to eat, either the Fan or Churchill, my favorite Italian Restaurant is in Mechanicsville. www.romaitalian.com. Both the food and the service are over the top.

Another area that has great restaurants would be Scotts Addition. When I was growing up it was full of blue collar shops and service providers. I follow Scotts Addition on Instagram to keep up with all that is trending there.

Speaking of trending we can’t talk RVA w/o mentioning wineries and breweries. The Hoff located in Scott’s addition has a roof top bar where you can sample some of the local stuff or even international if you want to. Of the local wineries I like Saude Creek and New Kent winery. Both are in New Kent County and makes for an easy one two for visiting and tasting. Any more than that please make sure to have a DD.

Sometimes you just need to get outside and walk. In Richmond we are blessed to have the James River Park system with plenty of walking and riding trails. We sometimes go to Belle Isle in the summer to swim and wade in the waters of the James to cool off and get some sun. Chimbarazo Park also has great views of the river and downtown from Churchill. A great spot for a picnic if the weather is nice.
