      Leigh ShobeQuestion & Answer

      What is your favorite thing about Richmond?
      Great restaurants, music, artisans, sense of community even in a bigger city
      What initially drew you to real estate?
      Interest in real estate since purchase of my first home in 1996 which was an old hunting cabin off of Cherokee Road in Bon Air
      How does your background bring a unique perspective to your work?
      As a litigation paralegal for 25 years, my skillset used in that position includes many critical aspects utilized in real estate transactions: organization, multi-tasking, negotiation, critical thinking, follow-up, and due diligence.
      Why is relationship building so key to your success?
      Relationships are part of our every day lives. It is important to treat those relationships with integrity and care. I pride myself on being friendly and outgoing to everyone.
      How do you help clients navigate challenging market conditions or uncertainties?
      I have worked through COVID and the challenging low inventory market over the last few years. My approach is to be a calm and informative resource for my clients. I try to make their experience during their sale or purchase as simple and stressfree as possible.
      What is your mission statement?
      My goal as an agent is to provide my clients with ethical, professional and unparalled service from our very first meeting until closing, and then afterwards to remain a resource for them in the future.
      Can you share a success story where your personalized approach made a significant difference for a client?
      I worked with a client and his family for over 2 years to find them a home. They had been renting an apartment for years where they lived with their 4 children. It was truly their “American dream” to own a home. We finally found a home for them, and at closing, they cried when I handed them the keys. They thanked me for never giving up on them.

      I was nervous buying my first home, and by myself, and in this market! Leigh took the time to get to know me and listen to what I want and worked to find me just that -- and she did! She expertly navigated me through the process of putting in an offer, what to look for, and communicated throughout the process so that I never was in the dark for a second. I would, without a doubt, recommend her again and again for her kindness, professionalism, and clear experience and depth of knowledge doing what she does. This is someone who knows what they're doing!
      Professional Approach Leigh is a great asset to have on your team when looking to buy a property. Her professional approach, accompanied by market knowledge and acute attention to detail provided for a seamless (as it can be) purchase process.

      Leigh knows what she's doing! Leigh Shobe is an excellent REALTOR. I’ve bought and sold several personal and rental houses. Leigh provided the best and most comprehensive service of any realtor I’ve ever worked with. She knows what she is doing, she communicates regularly, and she works hard. Highly recommend.
      Leigh is Amazing! Leigh Shobe was AMAZING!! I would recommend her to my closest relatives. I trust Leigh. She was kind and competent.
      Committed to Serving You Leigh is committed to helping you find the perfect place for you. She is smart, positive, and cheerful. She keeps close contact but is not pushy. She knows her job and the market. I loved working with her.
      Always Responsive and Knowledgeable Leigh Shobe was always responsive and knowledgeable, as well as supportive of me personally throughout the process.
      As new people in the area, Leigh was a GODSEND! We needed someone who knew the area and didn't mind fielding an inordinate amount of questions. We were also looking for someone that made us feel comfortable and safe. Leigh made us feel like family. Her kindness was genuine. My family never felt she was putting on an act to be in our good graces. The only reason I put a 5 star rating on responsiveness is because there is not a 6th star! When a question would hit me at an odd hour, Leigh was there to field the inquiry, and never once made me feel like an inconvenience. I have found her to be reliable, trustworthy, and personable. I would recommend Leigh to my own family members
      Extremely Pleased! Leigh Shobe has been the best agent we have ever worked with. She was prompt, proactive, and anticipated any potential questions/concerns that might arise. We are extremely pleased with the process and service we received. She has and still is going above and beyond!
