3rd Quarter Charlottesville Area Real Estate Market Report

In such a down real estate market we were extremely fortunate to find Patsy Strong and quickly develop a confidence in her and her team, Strong Realty, that was well justified. We had never seen an equal in marketing in all our years of buying and selling properties. Her team did an outstanding job, not only in marketing our home, but she was also able to sustain a strong interest from prospective buyers in a time of year and period when the interest should have been lacking. Patsy’s team also…

When you left our house that day last November, Marge and I looked at each other and immediately said to each, we do not have to go any further because ( SHE IS THE ONE ). You presented yourself with a warmth and honesty that gave us a confidence that you never betrayed during the entire process. Your communications were always informative, timely and reassuring. For that, we will always remember our relationship with fondness for your direction, and advise during a time that often breeds a mist…

We used The Strong Team to purchase a lakefront home. As out-of-town buyers, Kari Rothamel, our buyer’s agent, was terrific! She communicated promptly and kept us informed every step of the way. She is a terrific negotiator and agent. As a realtor myself, I know and appreciate a good realtor  when I see one; and Kari is the best! Kari kept every detail on track and made the transaction very pleasant and smooth. She was invaluable to us regarding the home inspection to make sure that we were inf…

Your marketing does make the difference! We are absolutely thrilled with what you were able to do with the sale of our home. You went beyond our expectations in both sales price and service.

The entire Strong team is very knowledgeable about the area and that is why we chose them. Patsy never held back in suggesting ways to show our home inside and out and we got rid of a lot of clutter…it worked! They are open to suggestions and always return calls. They stop by  to see the finale staging of the house and make sure all is set!!! We did interview a few agents and Patsy and the Stong Team were the perfect match for us.

You are wonderful. I hope you know how much we appreciate you and will be happy to serve as a referral any time. We have spread the word to all of the other residents and fellows at UVA to use you. Hopefully you will get their business as they prepare to move next June.

“Patsy Strong, and the rest of the Strong Team, did a fantastic job of selling our home. Patsy and her team gave thorough advice on preparing and staging our home, keeping our budget and needs in mind. Her marketing skills and use of the Internet were exceptional, and I believe foundational in selling our home quickly. She led us with wisdom and the benefit of her extensive experience through the difficult decisions that had to be made throughout the sales process. She followed through at ever…

Patsy and her team were incredibly helpful in prepping our house to go on the market within a very short period of time. She suggested certain things which we never would have thought of and dissuaded us from doing other things we thought we would need to do. She helped us to determine the price  point which she believed would generate maximum interest and the best sale price. We had a contract within days. We cannot recommend the Patsy and her Team too highly.

As a former Real Estate Broker and a pre-licensing class room instructor, I admire your strong ethics, negotiating skills and knowledge of the industry.
