Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle is a superb realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable and was an expert negotiator on my behalf as a buyer. Gabrielle arranged and made herself available for multiple showings on very short notice. She smoothed the closing process helping with the necessary inspections and managed to close in a short 3 weeks during the holidays. Smart, exceptional service, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her. - Joanne M. for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle is truly a miracle worker! A year ago, or even just two months ago, I would never have believed that I would be a homeowner today. Yet here I am, sitting in my dream home, still in awe that this is really ours. We know that this wouldn't have been possible without Gabrielle's expertise - Her professionalism and savvy negotiation skills secured the winning offer on this incredibly competitive property. Gabrielle’s dedication and attention to detail are unparalleled. Her responsiveness was remarkable; she was always available to answer our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed, and she provided thoughtful and thorough answers. When lending hiccups happened in the eleventh hour, I knew Gabrielle was on top of it and would make sure we got to the closing table. Beyond her impeccable real estate knowledge, Gabrielle's genuine care and commitment to her clients set her apart. She celebrated our milestones with us and was as invested in our success as we were. Her positive attitude and reassuring presence gave us confidence and peace of mind. We could never thank Gabrielle enough for her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Gabrielle. She is the best in the business, and we are forever grateful to have had her by our side on this journey. - Natalie K. for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle was conscientious and responsive. She gave professional advice that got us to the finish line. She also helped with handymen etc referrals since we live out of town. - Michele and Anderson for Gabrielle Pentalow

I began the process of selling my house in November of 2023 and had less than a month to sell as I was moving across the country. I needed help. I was referred to Gabrielle Pentalow and was immediately put in a position for success. Gabrielle went above and beyond to ensure that all my bases were covered. From the first walk through she systematically and thoroughly created a list of improvements that could be done to maximize the value of my home and set me up with the tools and services needed to accomplish the task at hand. From staging the house for walk throughs and making the connections for professional pictures to be done, Gabrielle accomplished everything I could have asked for. Ever professional, personable and positive. She made the daunting task of selling my home in a short time frame a reality. She was accessible when I needed her and kept me informed throughout the entire process of the sale. I am truly thankful to have had such a dedicated relator sell my home. I would recommend Gabrielle to anyone in the Richmond metro area if they are looking to buy or sell a home. She truly is the best. - Jack L for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle was my realtor from December 2022 - March 2023, and I found the house that really fit my true "me" because of her! From the start, Gabrielle eased my nerves of the process, which was at first daunting to me, by giving me the breakdown in easy-to-understand terms. When we started looking at properties, she knew an absolute plethora of small property details (benefits of the various properties, items to look out for, pitfalls, numerous helpful things to a first-time home buyer). Gabrielle was literally available 24/7, which was very helpful - especially once my contract for a house was chosen and the process really ramped up! She was cordial and respectful at all-times, which can be a big ask if you're like me and have one or two "freak out" moments during the process. :-) One such instance was after the home inspection, which can be daunting to first-time home buyers. Gabrielle spent the extra time to actually formulate a recommended priority punch-list of items to review, which 1) eased my mind, 2) rendered the items easier to understand and prioritize. I feel that Gabrielle is a realtor who truly takes her job and clients seriously, and will go the extra 5 miles to ensuring her client is in the home fit for them to live in as a home. Definitely would recommend that you have a conversation with her on your house endeavors and questions! - Tyler R for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle has been nothing short of an amazing realtor. I was fortunate enough to work with her to both buy and sell my house. She has gone above and beyond for both experiences but especially when selling my house. I lived out of state and she kept me up to date on everything that was happening back in VA. She is always available to answer any questions (no matter how silly they seem). I couldn't recommend anyone more than her. She is truly the best.- - Angelene for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle Pentalow (Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate Company) is the best! She was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to find me a great home that fit right in my price range! She is very knowledgeable, accessible, and communicates clearly, making the home buying process extremely easy! From the first time I reached out to her, she answered immediately and from there on out she was very responsive. During negotiations, I always felt like Gabrielle had my best interest in mind. In closing, she is very easy to work, a savvy negotiator, and therefore I highly recommend her for your real estate needs! - KeShawn for Gabrielle Pentalow

My partner and I had an amazing experience working with Gabrielle. Being new to Virginia, We were overwhelmed with where to even begin. Gabrielle really focused on what was important to us, and helped guide us in purchasing our first home. She made the process easy for us while being out of state and went out of her way to make our first day looking at homes not only about the house but also getting us familiar with the Richmond area. We are excited about our new home and could not thank Gabrielle enough in working with us. We are excited to continue on our real estate journey wit her. - Amanda R. for Gabrielle Pentalow

Gabrielle was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. From patiently and thoroughly explaining the home buying process from beginning to end during our first meeting to making sure we were kept in the loop and updated throughout. She quickly answered every question or concern with compassion, patience, and expertise that is unmatched. We never had a doubt that she was working for our best interest. The home buying process can definitely fraught with stress and worry, but Gabrielle made the process smooth, enjoyable, and rewarding. Even after closing, Gabrielle has been there to help find painters and contractors to make our new house a home. We could not have been happier with our experience and cannot recommend her highly enough! - Amanda G. for Gabrielle

I feel so fortunate to have had Gabrielle as my realtor for my first home purchase! She always communicated quickly and thoroughly throughout the entire process and answered any questions I had. Any time I wanted to view a home, she made sure it happened as soon as possible. I never felt rushed, pressured, or felt any sort of bias from her which allowed me to be be patient throughout the process and confident in making objective decisions. Between the acceptance and closing, Gabrielle did so much behind the scenes, working with several third-parties to be sure things progressed smoothly. There is no way I would have gotten such a great deal on this home in this competitive market without Gabrielle's guidance and expertise - she was truly with me every step of the way! I highly recommend her to anybody! - Christian L.
