Straight answers to the questions buyers and sellers ask us most, from Bryan and Christine Roethel of Keeton & Co. Real Estate.
Look for an agent who works the specific area you're buying or selling in, answers quickly, explains things plainly and has reviews from recent clients. Interview two or three agents, ask how they would price or search for your home, and ask what happens if you're unhappy with their service. A good agent should be comfortable answering all of it.
We help buyers and sellers across the greater Richmond, Virginia area, including Richmond City, Henrico County (Short Pump, Glen Allen, Innsbrook, Lakeside), Chesterfield County (Midlothian, Brandermill, Chester, Moseley), Hanover County (Mechanicsville, Ashland, Atlee), and Goochland and Powhatan. Our office is at 4235 Innslake Dr, Ste 105, Glen Allen, VA 23060.
