I have no regrets about hiring them they have far exceeded my expectations.

Bob came over on Saturday and completed an extensive survey complete with permanent and semi-permanent markers to trace the very unusual left-side property line of my house. Of note was he identified a property line issue where one of my neighbors has fencing over the property line. So glad he identified the issue as we're in the planning phase for erecting fencing. Prompt service, ighly skilled and highly recommended.

I was under a time constraint, he came out with his crew, climbed down and walked the mountain in freezing temps, had to dig to find the original posts which had gotten buried over time in shrubbery and dirt, gave me a preliminary report, did all the calculations for the final survey, and marked the boundary line well in multiple spots per my request. Definitely will give him a call if we need another survey done at any point!

I contacted the company to inquire about a property line issue with a neighboring property. I had…read morehoped for guidance, but what I received was a very well mannered and engaging employee, who took the time to educate me on some of the publicly available GIS services available within the City of Richmond. During our conversation, at no time was I being sold or solicited for services from the company. Rather I had a very productive and professional discussion with a woman who obviously knows her job and how to politely and effectively speak with people. My questions were answered and I did not purchase any services, but I left the conversation better informed than when it began. If I ever do need surveying services in the future I will come back to this company. If you need a survey I cannot imagine a better experience than what I had today. Thank you Tara

We recently purchased a rural property. Paper survey was provided but the property corners and…read morelines were not defined at the time of purchase. The neighbors seemed to have good ideas where the real boundaries were, but I wanted to be sure before I started making improvements to the property. Quote received very quickly and we were able to get on the schedule fairly quickly. Price point felt fair for the work. All hard pins found but one that had likely been damaged or removed from old farming on the land. The survey map and pins helped to find the missing corner. Flags posted to identify the lines and highlight the new found corner. Turns out one neighbor had given us more ground than what was actually ours. Feel very confident now where the barn and other improvements can go.

We don't have to push back our fence install (for the third time) thanks to Ray. Very reasonably priced, a breeze to work with, and super personable and friendly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you so very much, Ray!

WARNING: Braden Does Not Take Smoking Violations Seriously…read more If you are an owner who chooses Braden because they only represent non-smoking properties, please be aware that they do not take smoking violations seriously. I first reported a tenant smoking on a balcony on August 28, 2025, and two months later, the tenant is still smoking on the property. Their responses have been slow, inconsistent, and dismissive. They've used words like "investigation" and "immediate action," but in reality, weeks pass without follow-up, and the violations continue. They refuse to communicate directly with me even though I am the neighbor directly impacted by the tenant's actions, leaving me feeling unsafe and unheard. Braden's tagline is "Bridging owners and residents to create a home." Part of making a home is being a respectful neighbor. If Braden doesn't care about how lease violations affect the people living nearby, that's a problem. In their initial email dated August 28, they confirmed that "smoking is prohibited in any area of the dwelling or the premises" and stated that the issue would be addressed promptly. Two months later, the tenant continues to smoke on the property, yet their recent communication suggests that no further action is being taken because there is no visible interior smoke damage. This shift directly contradicts both the lease language and their earlier statements about taking the violation seriously. I've provided clear, dated documentation of repeated smoking incidents, and it's disappointing that those reports have been met with silence or vague assurances rather than resolution. I'm no longer asking for intervention, but I wanted to ensure the written record reflects what actually occurred. I hope that in the future, your management team applies its stated standards consistently and with genuine care for the communities affected by your tenants' behavior.

I was helping a family of Syrian refugees find an apartment. We found three bedroom on Braden's…read moreweb site, looked at it with a Braden representative and signed a lease. Braden then came back to us and told us that Virginia law did not allow a family of that size to occupy a three bedroom. Fair enough, although they knew from our application and our conversation with their rep how big the family was. The lease has been canceled, a month later, I'm still trying to get my security deposit back. They keep telling me it's coming, but I've yet to see it. Since this was their mistake, you would think they would make some effort to correct this, but apparently not. They have been thoroughly unprofessional. Edit: They finally returned my deposit, over a week after they promised it, and they returned it to the wrong person! I was co-signing for someone else, and they returned the deposit to them rather than me. I played using my credit card! A fitting end to a completely screwed up process.
