After my last property manager went off the deep end, I was nervous to see who I could find to help me in a pinch. Bobby Montgomery was recommended to me and I never looked back! I lived out of state and even out of the country and Bobby always make sure I had great renters and screened them carefully. He was great at establishing fair but competitive rental rates. When it was time to sell, he was a huge part of our selling strategy as well. The Montgomery Team is professional, reliable, and easy to work with.

We had almost zero experience with Charlottesville. Amy took the time to learn about our goals and…read moreshe helped us focus and rank our priorities. 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 met Katherine through the Yelp community actually! (I miss community events!) Then after starting…read moreto look casually for homes with my husband and trying out one other real estate agent briefly (who didn't impress us), I remembered Katherine and got in contact with her. She has been so responsive, flexible and kind through the whole process, from figuring out what we were really looking for, to answering random questions via text or email about any part of the home buying process, to taking us to see homes even if we weren't sure they looked great, just so we could start to get a better idea of what we do actually want/like. We're happy to say we have officially closed on our house and it wouldn't have been possible without Katherine's support. She was great to have on our team. She helped us find the little rural house on land that we were looking for, and it's almost perfect. She was patient with us when we put the home search on hold for a bit due to covid, and she was understanding during the whole process as we changed our search parameters multiple times after thinking them through (one example: we were originally open to looking in waynesboro but dropped that idea after a month or two and she didn't scoff at us for making her look at those houses etc) Truly great service from Katherine. She knows what she's doing as well and was very on top of getting things completed correctly and promptly. If you're looking for a great agent to help you find a home within Cville city limits, or beyond!, check her out!

As a first time home buyers we had a TON of questions. Not only were we incredibly nervous, but we…read morehad no clue about different resources or options available to us and the entire home buyer process. Katherine helped us navigate ALL the options of a VA home loan and never got frustrated when we asked her constant questions. She also suggested several options and resources that a previous agent didn't even mention to us. In addition, she did a lot of leg work reaching out to our lender and title company and coordinating all the moving parts that we had no idea even existed. I saw the house on Sunday, and Katherine worked through the weekend to coordinate with the listing agent, write our offer and work with our lender. She got us a GREAT deal, and was a whiz at negotiating and playing hardball. Her willingness to reach out to all the stakeholders was clutch, and we're so gracious to her for having some of the "hard to have" conversations with different people on our behalf. We always felt like she was on our side, she even drove 2 hours to come to our closing, and was more helpful in answering our final questions than the title company rep was. We had some issues after the closing, and Katherine was as responsive as ever. She was honest, realistic, and provided a wealth of knowledge and expertise (not to mention laughs and support). We can't thank Katherine enough for helping us through this nerve-wracking process and we're sad we can't buy more just to spend more time with her! Thanks, Katherine.

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!

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.

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.
