What Makes Me a Specialist in Historic Homes

 

I specialize in Old and Historic Homes in the Richmond area, and you might be wondering why I’m so passionate about these unique properties. My fascination with older homes began during my upbringing in Florida—a place not particularly known for its historic residences. As a child, I relished visits to historic museums, where I marveled at the architectural splendor of time-honored houses.

 

My journey into the world of historic homes continued after college when I settled in Savannah, GA, a city rich in history and character. Since 2000, I’ve lived in several Virginia Historic Districts, with Church Hill becoming my beloved home in 2005. The tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and exquisite charm of these homes have kept me deeply rooted here.

 

However, my expertise goes beyond simply appreciating their beauty. Buying and selling historic homes requires more than just admiration—it demands a deep understanding of their unique challenges. This includes knowledge of the neighborhood, the renovation process within the city’s guidelines, and navigating regulations like the Right of First Refusal for the Richmond Historic Foundation. While owning a home preserved by the foundation is an honor, it also comes with additional hurdles. Fortunately, I have the knowledge and experience to guide my clients through these intricacies seamlessly.
