The Sterling Homes Richmond story...
My primary focus is selling old and historic homes in the City of Richmond and resale, new construction, raw land and investment property throughout Greater Richmond. I always managed a number of rental properties and worked with investors on acquiring, holding or flipping homes long before starting Sterling Homes Richmond.
During the Great Recession I met many potential sellers who could not afford to sell due to the deflation of home values following the near collapse of the mortgage industry in 2008. Yet, people still needed to move so I started Sterling Homes of Richmond to offer a solution to sellers, not taking a large loss on property but instead holding it as investment until market values could rebound before selling. Sterling is a family name on my Dad’s side that ties to property through the tradition of carpentry and building on both sides of my family.
Having grown up in both commercial construction and home building and renovation I enjoy managing rental property and helping owners improve their property over time while taking advantage of the tax savings, appreciation, rental income and other benefits of investment property. I personally meet and vet every tenant and stay hands on with the properties while providing personalized service to landlords.
In summary, whether you need your residential home well managed as an investment property, want to acquire or divest of property or just need to meet new family real estate goals I have the experience, skills and backing along with a caring, consultative approach focused on your goals to ensure that you will have a fantastic outcome in your next real estate endeavor.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I may be of service.
