I had the pleasure of working with Amy during the spring of 2016. I entered the home buying…read moreprocess knowing what I wanted, generally, in terms of environmental factors, but with no specific physical criteria in mind. I was not settled on a single family home versus a townhome, nor was I really married to any particular geographic region, architecture, style or type of neighborhood. I wanted to "see it all" which required Amy do to a bit of weeding and sorting on my dreams in order to figure out what I truly wanted and needed. Taking what little I offered her (which was not only ill defined but subject to change based up on mood, diet and a possible lack of sunlight), Amy worked diligently to get at my true drivers and, therefore what properties would be most appropriate for me. Some of this spade work required her to indulge my desire to look at some pretty far-flung properties, but Amy used this time to effectively educate me on what items would become important to my search, selection and, ultimately, my overall satisfaction. Amy took my feedback and began to deftly draw the funnel down towards properties that would be good potential fits for me. She took the time to really listen and engage with me in the process of finding what turned out to be a great home! Amy also worked tirelessly through the closing process, making sure I was well served and expertly represented right up to settlement. I love my new home and owe it all to Amy's great persistence, professionalism and dedication!

We contacted Jim to help us buy our first home and the experience couldn't have been smoother! He…read moreanswered all our questions (and helped us ask the right ones) and helped put us at ease from start to finish. We were concerned about finding what we wanted within our price range but Jim helped us map out a realistic timeline and encouraged us to stay within our preferred budget for a period of time to see what we could find. Thank goodness we listened to him - he helped us find a house that is PERFECT and negotiated it to our exact goal price. We were using a VA loan and Jim was great about letting us know which houses we shouldn't even consider because they wouldn't meet the VA standard, and what exactly would need to be done at the house we were purchasing to get VA approval. He was spot on every time. Every person he recommended (the lender, the attorney, all the way to the inspection company) was beyond fabulous. Being first-time home buyers we were nervous about everything and they helped us through every step of the process. The lender told us that they wouldn't let us let anything fall through the cracks - and he was right! All in all, Jim made what could have been a stressful process blissfully stress-free. He was incredibly helpful and trustworthy. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing a home.

She also educated us regarding the current real estate situation and the use of technology. She helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood. Amy had an emergency situation and had to transfer the task of helping us with inspections and closing to Kelly. Kelly never missed a beat. She was very thorough and very knowledgeable. She gave us great confidence through the buying process that there would be no surprises. After the sale, Amy and Kelly have both stayed in contact and helped us get acquainted with Charlottesville. While we have been extremely impressed with their professionalism, we just have to mention they are both really nice people. It has been a true pleasure to work with Amy and Kelly.

I worked with Ashly for numerous months to purchase a home remotely prior to relocation to Charlottesville. I had some familiarity with the area but relied on her to assist in finding a property. I wanted something close to downtown Charlottesville. After submitting numerous offers for numerous properties and not winning an offer, a home was finally found! Ashley visited the property and assured me it was exactly what I was looking for. What she didn't tell me was it was remote and at least a 40 minute commute to downtown Charlottesville and none of the photos Ashley provided showed the massive septic tank system and the propane tank with peeling paint, despite the home only being 3 yrs old! I trusted Ashley to do the walk through at closing and she said it was fine. In reality the property was filthy and the previous owners left garbage and items in the home. I ended up selling the property six months later because it was such a bad fit. Buyer beware-Ashley is not your friend!

Mike demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for our needs and goals throughout the whole process. Mike was extremely patient and proactive-- he was always one step ahead and ready to guide us through every detail. If you're looking for a real estate agent who combines a depth of knowledge about the Crozet/Charlottesville areas with a deep understanding of the home buying process, look no further than Mike! We are beyond grateful for his dedication and couldn't be happier with the outcome he helped us achieve.

After a dismal experience with another realty company, Mike came in and made everything happen as we had originally hoped. He was honest, helpful, insightful, and communicative. He has everything lined up using calendar events, which helps keep track of all the moving parts. I can't imagine selling a property without his eagle-eye attention to detail. I am 100%+ satisfied with his work. Do yourself a favor and contact him as soon as you even THINK you want to buy or sell a property.

It all started with the realization (March 2013) that I needed to sell my big house in the country…read moreand move to a small easy to maintain home in the city. I was ready to down size and simplify. But did I have it in me to go over that mountain of putting my home on the market, finding a home I love and moving? Ug. Then I made the best decision I have made in a long time. I called Jamie Kay. I just wanted to gather some info, ask some questions, and stick my toe in the water. Before I knew it THAT SAME DAY Jamie was at my house creating a punch list of things to do before putting my house on the market. She also set the date in order to keep me motivated to complete that list. So I did. Jamie is also a popular photographer in town, so when she showed up to take pictures for the listing I knew I was in good hands. However, when she sent me the photos I couldn't believe how beautiful they were! My home looked worthy of a magazine! I wanted to buy my home! The big day came, and I prepared myself for a long summer of keeping the house tidy and ready to show. A week later I had an interest, then an offer, then a contract. WHAT? I had to find a house I wanted to buy....and fast! I gave Jamie a pretty clear idea of what I was looking for, and I could tell she was listening. We looked at many houses, but like goldilocks....they just weren't "right". What happened next is hysterical! Jamie found the home of my dreams, and it wasn't even ON THE MARKET! Then she sent me to the BEST loan officer, the BEST inspector, the BEST closing attorney, the BEST plumber, you get the picture! And all of the documents were managed thru Docusign, which allowed me to review and sign everything from work. She did all of this but I never felt pressured or pushed, as she has an easy going personality that kept me relaxed and calm through the entire experience. This experience took "customer service' to a whole new level. How often do you get to say that? I moved into my new home in July 2013. My home should still be on the market right now, but its all behind me! Thank you Jamie Kay! You have no idea what a difference you made!

Jamie assured us the house would sell fast, and indeed, we received several offers even before the open house. Despite a few challenging and stressful situations that cropped up once we accepted an offer, and some communication snafus probably made worse by us being all the way on the other side of the country, Jamie worked his butt off to sort everything out and live up to his word. He did an excellent job of making an extremely stressful process run as smoothly as possible. We did butt heads a few times, but he absolutely came through for us in the end. Through this experience, I learned that Jamie deeply cares about his clients, and strives to do right by them no matter what. I highly recommend Jamie if you're looking for someone who is devoted to your home-selling or buying experience, and who will have your back during the process. Our house sold so fast, and at thousands higher than the listing price. We were able to pay off tons of debt and start fresh in California. Before hiring Jamie and doing some remodeling on the house, we were looking at a reality where we would have barely broken even on the sale. Jamie is honest, works diligently to care for his clients, and I have so much respect for his work ethic and integrity. Well done, Jamie - we can't thank you enough! I know I was a tough customer, but you definitely won us over and we are fans for life! My apologies for taking so long to lavish you with the praise that you earned and deserve! Cheers to a successful 2018 for you and your family - wishing you all the best, always.
