Living In Central Virginia:

   

Welcome and thanks for stopping by!

I am originally from Massachusetts and have enjoyed living in the Lynchburg, Virginia area for the past twenty three years. I enjoy helping familes buy or sell homes in the Greater Lynchburg area.

Known as the Hill City, Lynchburg is located in Central Virginia, along the banks of the James River with the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop. We enjoy four seasons and a mild climate. Lynchburg is the fifth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in Virgina and was recently ranked #71 out of the top 100 places to do business in the country. With several colleges and universities including Lynchburg College and Liberty University, there is an abundance of continuing education opportunities.

Lynchburg has a rich history and is surrounded by Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford County and Campbell County: You'll never run out of interesting things to do! Thomas Jefferson's summer home Poplar Forest is located in Bedford County, the Old City Cemetery features several museums and Confederate and slave & free african american burial grounds. Less than 30 minutes away are the Civil War Surrender Grounds at Appomattox Court House. The city of Bedford suffered the worst losses per capita on D-Day and the National D-Day Memorial is located 20 minutes west in city in Bedford.

I am licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a Real Estate Agent and have been associated  with RE/MAX 1st Olympic in Lynchburg  since 2006. I work with both buyers and sellers, specialize in residential, investment property &  land and have been certified in Short Sales and REO Foreclosures.

Whether you're selling your home or are a first time buyer, I'll put my experience to work for you from finding the right property and making the offer to negotiating and closing. I'm 'into the details', I keep in touch and you can always reach me by cell or online. I know the potential problems  that can and will come up during the home buying process, the frustrations and problems that come up during home inspections and financing.  I offer a three page Home Buyer's Guide that outlines the steps involved in finding your new home and will be glad to walk you through it all.

Since 1982 my husband and I have bought, renovated, rented or sold over  50  investment properties. I am one of the Real Estate Agents featured in Teri B. Clark's latest book   "The Complete Guide to Your First Rental Property" .  With over 25 years of experience in buying and renovating properties I'd love to share with you what I've learned.

Testimonials

Debbie, 
 
I must admit, you have been one of the best real estate agents I have ever encountered.  I have yet to experience a real estate agent that provide the amount of feedback and status of the ongoing process.  The last real estate agent I had, we had to contact constantly just to know what's going on.   
  
Thanks once again for being such a good sport.  You are making it a smooooother process.   

Craig

Thanks for all of your encouragement and help over this past year. - M. & K. Durand
