Deborah is the ultimate professional, with stellar communication skills, detailed knowledge of the region, with the ability to help even a novice home buyer learn about the process and shepherd one through to the final purchase. I was returning to Charlottesville for my retirement, after being away for nearly 25 years. Deborah provided a comprehensive overview of the entire area during several visits (at my request). Since I was downsizing and did not have a clear view of what I desired, Deborah showed me the full range of options, including everything from downtown apartments, new developments with townhouses and condos, free standing houses in older neighborhoods, as well as rural properties. She provided a wealth of information with countless details, serving as an exceptional tour guide in the process, which is exactly what I needed initially. Deborah was able to answer every question I posed and she was always a step ahead in anticipating the information that would be helpful to me in making decisions. She asked questions and got to know me well, and I came to have total confidence in her ability to help me find the best living arrangement for my age and situation, recently widowed. Deborah shared information about the Charlottesville realty market specifically, describing what was unique about the area, the ideal time frames for buying and selling, the pros and cons of given living situations, home owners associations, etc. In addition, she educated me, again at my request, about the home buying process in general and the developers, builders, and contractors in the area. With this information I felt better able to make competent decisions, armed with specifics, not simply general feelings. The saying, "knowledge is power" held true in that I felt more self-assured of my decisions with the specific information that Deborah provided. After each visit, I was armed with new knowledge that led me to have further follow-up questions that Deborah was invariably prepared to answer. After this comprehensive process, Deborah helped me determine exactly what I wanted from a home, and with that information, she found the perfect spot with all the features we had discussed at a price that was reasonable. As regards the contract and purchase process, Deborah again demonstrated that she is an expert. The steps involved were explained in detail in person, via phone calls, and emails that provided everything I needed to know. The home inspector she chose carried out a meticulous inspection in our presence and he used the process to explain all aspects of the home: structural, electrical, plumbing, etc., with Deborah asking pertinent questions to make sure I comprehended the entire process. Recommendations were made and Deborah assisted in making sure all necessary repairs were completed. She handled the entire negotiation process and we came to an agreeable price without delay. All necessary documents were sent promptly, and an on-time closing went without any issues. I will use Deborah Rutter again to sell my home in 4-6 years when I intend to move into a senior living community, and I look forward to working with her again at that time since she made the entire process flow smoothly.

She continues to help us even after our transactions were complete by giving recommendations of service providers whenever things come up (she knows everyone!) I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

When I wanted to purchase a home in Charlottesville, a friend could not speak more highly about…read moreKelly and suggested that I reach out to her. I had recently moved to Charlottesville from New York and was not yet very familiar with the area. Working with Kelly was an extremely positive experience. She encouraged me to take my time and make the right decision. She visited different kinds of homes in different kinds of neighborhoods and talked to me about the pros and cons of each one. She walked me through these homes and pointed out what I should look for both on the inside (e.g., quality of the HVAC system) and the outside (e.g., elevation) She is extremely knowledgeable about the city and her experience was helpful in narrowing down the kind of home that I wanted to buy. I was grateful for the time and energy that she spent with me, especially as I was not looking for expensive or luxury housing. At every step of the way she explained how different processes would work and took time to make sure that I understood what I was agreeing to - signing a contract to work together, making offers and counteroffers etc. Her extensive experience in the business also meant that she was familiar with other businesses/services I needed and could tell me which ones to consider (and which ones to avoid). For instance, she recommended several places when I expressed wanting to replace the carpeting in the new house for hardwood. We keep in touch, and I continue to reach out to her about small things (e.g., suggestions for a handyman). I trust her judgement implicitly. I have been in my new home for 6 months now and I am so happy with my purchase. If I plan to sell or buy again in Charlottesville, I would not hesitate to work with Kelly again!
