Pickett Properties is a husband wife team focused on giving all clients a personalized real estate experience through consistent, proactive guidance. Following her career in education as a Math Teacher and Assistant Principal, Terra sold 100+ homes in her first two years as a licensed agent landing her in the top 5% of all real estate professionals in America and being named one of the first Real Producers Rising Stars in the Richmond area as well as to both Richmond Magazine’s Top Referred REALTOR® and Five Star Professional Award twice. This helped ensure she mastered the nuances of home, land, and multifamily resales and new builds across all market areas and price points. During this time, Shawn joined her as a licensed REALTOR® focusing on rural and historic sales thanks to his background as a seasoned History Teacher of 20+ years and growing up on a Caroline County farm with a family of contractors.

began renovating both rental and resale properties in 2019, and after various projects all over the Greater Richmond area decided to renovate a 40-year shuttered triplex in Urbanna. This then led to their first foray into Airbnb rentals in 2023 as well as their restaurant, the Urbanna Pearl Oyster Tavern, being born in 2024. Personally managing their own renovation projections and rental properties helps them further identify opportunities and financing options for their clients' personal and investment goals. After two more major renovation projects, Shawn and his father founded PickettBuilt to offer their construction and renovation services to everyone.

Terra and Shawn have now immersed themselves in all aspects of real estate for 7 years, and after Terra served as a mega team’s Sales Manager and then a Managing Broker for a top local brokerage, they decided it was time to officially start their own team together. Their local real estate expertise coupled with their Class A renovation business ensures that their clients’ homes hit the market with all basic punch list items tackled as well as those who have found their next home have a reliable, honest option for bathroom and kitchen facelifts to full-blown additions when they just don’t want to move again. Shaheen, Ruth, Martin, and Fonville Real Estate was an obvious brokerage choice for this as they have been a local expert and market leader for years with strong luxury and relocation connections nationally.

Terra and Shawn are determined to maximize each client’s real estate goals with diverse marketing and negotiating strategies that minimize the stresses that come with buying and selling your biggest assets. Whether a first-time buyer, multi property owner, or global relocator, they truly believe everyone deserves their dream home with a trusted local advocate in their corner leading to their unmatched attention to detail for each client as well as ongoing partnership with Richmond's Housing Families First non-profit organization.
