I began investing in 2020 and spoke with several advisors before choosing Melanie Ochs. I was…read moreunfamiliar with the investment process and Melanie was very patient and professional in explaining the benefits of investment planning and the importance of remaining involved throughout the entire process. She asked several great questions about my goals, in regard to what I want to achieve, what's important to me and what I want my future to look like. She is very accessible when I need to get in contact with her and does an outstanding job of providing ongoing communication and feedback. Over the past year, Melanie has help grow my investment portfolio and I am extremely pleased with the service she provides. I am very happy that I finally decided to invest and I am saving money for my future.

Working with Chris was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire home search process…read more From day one, he carried himself with the utmost professionalism .... never pushy, never rushed ...always making us feel like our goals were his top priority. We originally came to Chris looking for land, and he proved immediately that he truly knows the Fredericksburg area and surrounding region inside and out. His depth of knowledge gave us real confidence that we were in the right hands. What happened next was something we didn't expect: on a whim, we decided to take a look at a few resales just to see what was out there .... and we found our next home. Without missing a beat, Chris pivoted seamlessly and guided us all the way to closing. That kind of flexibility and attentiveness to what his clients actually need is rare. Throughout the entire process, which spanned a few months, Chris was consistently responsive, resourceful, and creative. When challenges came up, he found solutions by thinking outside the box rather than hitting a wall. And through it all, it was genuinely painless. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your best interest, look no further. We cannot recommend Chris highly enough!

Chris and his team are awesome! Very efficient, very knowledgeable, and they think like investors…read morewhich I love. Chris has helped me purchase and sell homes in the Fredericksburg, VA area, but he also helped me look around Richmond, VA for investment properties. He was always on time and had great behind-the-scenes information on the investment. I've leaned on him for real estate and financial advice several times. If you're moving to the area and you need local expertise with genuinely deep business knowledge, Chris and his team are the way to go!

I have been with VACU for many, many years. (more than 20 years) I am currently so disgusted with…read morethis place that I cannot find the words to tell you just how horrible it is. The more technology this place acquires, the worse it gets! Hard to believe isn't it!! They screw things up so badly, it takes months to get things straightened out! They have 3 locations here in Fredericksburg but only one is usable by a sedan type of car. The other two branches have the ATM and "teller machines" so high that you are not able to reach them is you drive a sedan. And, on top of that, two branches have arranged to have the screens in the drive thru facing into the sun. Of course you cant see them, it's just like trying to see your phone in the bright sun! If VACU can't even build a relatively simple square building correctly, I am very concerned about them building anyone's bank accounts... Additionally, I have found that the employees (although quite friendly and smile a lot), will lie to you about anything to acquire your money from you. You'll do great banking there as long as you don't trust ANYONE. Don't say you haven't been warned!!!

I received false information from a branch representative. This Credit Union is not transparent…read morewith their credit card offers. You can't easily get to an appropriate live representative either for help with your banking needs. Customer service is lacking to say the least. Their website to send an email doesn't even work properly! In my humble opinion, without going into all the details (as I have already wasted too much time and got no where with this organization), I would shop around for somewhere else!

Very disappointed in the customer service my family and I received when dealing with this company…read more After being use to single family living for several years, I was forced to get an apartment after a dissolution of marriage. Once my year concluded, I again decided that apartment living just wasn't for me! I mean going from a 3 bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment just doesn't work. My new g/f and I completed rental applications for a property that we viewed and liked. For 7 days, we received regular communication asking for more info and a notification that the property we were interested in had been rented. We had the money available immediately had the process been smoother and given the proper attention, however it was a slow road to an approval that would never come! We were told that our application was still being processed and that they were looking to get a preapproval on a different property. That last communication was June 30, 2021 with no further communication! Needless to say, we feel like we wasted $120.00, not to mention that due to the non-due diligence, we were forced to sign a lease for an apartment again. I bet had we had 6 figure incomes and had a 700-800 credit score, our experience might have been different! SMH

I began using Paul Scott's service 5 years ago when I needed to get private health insurance. Paul…read morewalked us through our options, explained the various plans very clearly, then answered our *numerous* questions until we settled on exactly what we needed. Then he walked us through the entire application form, step-by-step, until we had it completed. The service with Scott's has been excellent. 2 months ago, when our insurance company notified us that our rate would be increasing by almost $100 per month(!), Scott's called me to schedule an appointment to reshop insurance options. Yup, before I'd even seen the notice and had time to freak out, Scott's called me. They have that small-town feeling in the business that you don't get many other places any more. When I walk in, Paul asks me about my own business, about my children, and chats with me about local events. As he gathers the papers we'll need for the appointment, Evelyn makes sure that I have some sort of beverage in my hand. And the office takes great delight in sending birthday greetings to all their customers, even taking the time to pick out the perfect quote for the inside of the card. (This year's choice: "Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that people who have more of them live longer.")
