In early 2020, we became sole owners of a family property on the Northern Neck — rich in waterfront, very humble in structures. It had been on the market with a major Richmond firm for years. But far as we knew, it had never had even a nibble. That long time listing was expiring. Based on what I’d learned of Doug Dorsey from reading BizSense, I thought he could help us. We emailed him in February 2020. A great online conversation ensued. Doug went down and had a look at the land. The one guideline we issued was that this was NOT a property that could be sold with pretty pictures alone. Doug told us not to worry. “I take the property to the buyer,” he said. That sounded mighty like a slogan — maybe a meaningless one? But we signed papers in March — days after Covid lockdown began. And in April Doug, having done exactly what he said he would do, brought us an excellent offer. A bit of back and forth, all of which worked to our advantage, followed. We closed in June. (Actually, everyone was more than willing to close earlier, but the Northumberland Courthouse was locked tight.) All of which is to say, Doug Dorsey is THE BEST. (And have you seen his watercolors? What a talent.) - Antoinette R.
