A Richmond Homebuyer’s Experience

Skye Bruce Properties — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:21:53 +0000

We love it when we here from our clients! Below is a note we recently received from a couple we helped buy and sell a Richmond area home. A home purchase can be a complicated process, but at Skye Bruce Properties we try to make the process a fun and low stress experience!

Catena Armstrong with Skye Bruce Properties was wonderful to work with. Her vast experience and inviting personality make her an excellent REALTOR and an easy, comfortable fit for us. Looking back sometimes it seemed as if she knew what we were looking for more than we did. It was obvious that she wanted us to find the perfect fit and would look with us as long as it took. She arranged last minute showings, drove out to look at houses in the middle of nowhere, entertained our son so we could look around, showed up early at appointments to check out the houses in advance. We learned a lot from Catena about the types of questions to ask, things to consider long-term that we would not have thought of otherwise, and how to write a solid contract. We valued her perspective and input. We are now in our new home and loving every minute of it. I will think of Catena every time I walk across my welcome mat. BILL & KELLIE L.

First Time Homebuyer Experience

Skye Bruce Properties — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:32:34 +0000

We love it when we here from our clients! Below is a note we recently received from a couple we helped buy their first home. A home purchase can be a complicated process, but at Skye Bruce Properties we try to make the process a fun and low stress experience!

Hello Skye, I just wanted to write a couple lines and thank Laura Williams and the Skye Bruce Properties family. My husband and I were first time home buyers and quite frankly afraid to buy for many years. We’ve often heard horror stories of friends having to write their own offer letters, missed appointments and nightmare encounters leading up to and during closing. Laura was right there for us every step of the way explaining why, when, and how each task is completed. Laura made buying our home a WONDERFUL experience and we can’t thank her enough. We are extremely happy home owners and recommend Laura and the Skye Bruce Team every chance we get! John and Nichole

Skye Bruce Reports Positive Real Estate News for Richmond Virginia

Skye Bruce Properties — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:38:35 +0000

The following is a quick market update from Skye Bruce, the #1 REMAX Agent in Central Virginia:

Finally some positive news in the press about homes sales in the Richmond area! We have seen improvement in home sales in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. More good news? Yes! Many of our less expensive homes are selling. What does this mean? First Time Homebuyers are back! If this trend continues this will lead to an increase in home buyers as people selling less expensive homes trade up to more expensive homes.

Despite this year’s significant downturn in the market, I am proud to say we have sold more homes this year than ever before. I attribute this to the innovative ways we market properties locally, nationally and globally and our strong team of Buyer’s Agents. We are also very thankful for all the referrals we have received this year from current and past clients which is a great sign that we are doing a good job supporting our clients.

I am currently ranked the number one RE/MAX Agent in Central Virginia (4th in the State and in the top 1% of agents in the world) and Laura Williams, one of our buyer’s agents, is currently ranked the number 3 agent in Central Virginia. Our team is overflowing with experience, business savvy and strong negotiation as well as communication skills.
