AboutRobert Batchelor

Realtor

I bring a wealth of knowledge on our local RVA communities, current market conditions, and the home buying and selling process. I strive to provide exceptional service every step of the way, so I can provide you with a real estate experience that exceeds your expectations.

After moving to Richmond in 2009, I spent 5+ years in commercial construction project management I developed a passion for design and architecture. Leveraging past experiences, I began my real estate career in VA in 2017. I have a wealth of experience in staging and design gained through my experience both with previous employers and with my own buying, renovating, and selling of homes. My perspective and eye for redesign, and updating existing homes is a great benefit to both buyers and sellers in the market.

      Robert BatchelorQuestion & Answer

      What is your favorite thing about Richmond?
      As a transplant to Richmond, I have a unique take on the city as a whole and the surrounding areas. I chose to move here for a multitude of reasons: the mild climate, the great arts and culture scene, the proximity to the beach and the mountains, the great restaurant scene, and the opportunity this area as a whole offers compared to many other cities along the 95 corridor.
      What initially drew you to real estate?
      I was drawn to real estate from a young age spending weekends with my father looking at housing developments and sneaking into new construction job sites to look at the homes being built. I caught the real estate bug and it stuck. Initially I wanted to pursue architecture in college but switched to business and marketing. I have always been interested in design, which has lead me gain a vast array of knowledge from commercial, residential, interior design and staging, construction management, to landscaping.
      Why is relationship building so key to your success?
      Being able to manage and build relationships has been key for my business. Not only for the clients that work with me, but also for the many vendors, contractors, and more who work with me to help every client. Buying and selling your home is the biggest investment for most people and manging that process with great communication and trust with all the parties involved is what has made me successful in real estate.
      How has your previous experience benefited your practice of real estate?
      Having extensive experience in design and construction management while working for a French Luxury retailer in addition to my commercial negotiation experience has given me great skills to help my clients not only see the potential in properties, but help them navigate renovations, as well as negotiate during their transactions.
      How do you help clients navigate challenging market conditions or uncertainties?
      Providing my clients with all of the facts about the current market and being clear on what the expectations are is the best way I can help my clients through the process.

      Being from out of state, Robert was indespensible in explaining the purchasing process in VA. He was always available to answer questions, (sometimes twice). He couldn't have been more professional or knowledgeable. Robert also came up with some terrific ideas for my house. He saw possibilities that I didn't. I wound up with a positive experience and feel Robert was a very instrumental in providing that for me
      We are so grateful to Robert Batchelor for his work in helping us to find our home. As a first time home buyer, from out of state, on a tight deadline to relocate my mother from an entirely different part of the country, our goal was already ambitious. Add to that a low inventory of available houses, a limited budget, and all of this in the midst of a pandemic; we were in need of a miracle! Robert was immediately responsive, taking the time to learn our needs and then setting up viewings to fit within our scheduled visits. He drove us all over Richmond and vicinity, helping us to get to know the neighborhoods, teaching us the basics of buying a home, and entertaining my mother as we traveled from house to house. He helped us to avoid some major pitfalls and then prepped us for how to fight for the house that we ultimately wanted. He was always available to answer questions, provide references, and to give his thoughtful and measured advice. I cannot recommend Robert enough!
      We are so lucky to have found Robert. He was personable, friendly and knew very quickly what we wanted and what houses to show us. He knows the Richmond area inside and out. Robert did everything he could to keep us informed in the process and make our purchase as simple and successful as possible. Robert was more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone.
      Robert did a great job of finding me a home in a very difficult and competitive market. He was particularly valuable in helping me solve some problems post sale.
      Robert was by far the only reason this move went as smoothly as it did. He went above and beyond working with me, which was no easy task as I was out of state and had one single weekend to get things done. Not only that, I had a very tall order for a property, one that would also accommodate my printmaking studio. Robert found so many wonderful houses and was more than willing to go the literal extra mile to help me find my home. We hit the ground running and between showings Robert helped me become acquainted with the city and took me to places that matched my vibe exactly. In the end, I wake up every day wildly happy in a house I couldn't have dreamed to be any more perfect.
      Highly Recommend Being from out of state, Robert was indispensable in explaining the purchasing process in VA. He was always available to answer questions, (sometimes twice). He couldn't have been more professional or knowledgeable. Robert also came up with some terrific ideas for my house. He saw possibilities that I didn't. I wound up with a positive experience and feel Robert was a very instrumental in providing that for me.
      Highly Recommend Robert was very helpful in properly pricing my home for a quick sale and was able to find a house in the area and price range that we were interested in. He is very prompt in finding information and is readily available to answer questions. I will be using him for my future real estate deals and would recommend him to anyone.
      Extremely Knowledgeable Robert is extremely knowledgeable about Richmond real estate. He knows how to help prepare and sell your house while finding the perfect new home. He has been instrumental in several home sales and purchases that I have been involved with. He has an eye for the market and knows how to sell a home quickly. In fact, he helped sell our last two homes within 1 day of hitting the market. I highly recommend Robert for any real estate need.
      Fabulous Resource! Robert is very familiar with the area and is wonderful to work with. We are looking for our next home and he has been a fabulous resource for us! He has a great designer's eye as well and was able to give us some great ideas on how to stage our current home when we put it on the market! I definitely recommend him!
