ClientTestimonials
My wife and I worked with Scott Ruth and could not recommend more highly. The perfect experience from start to finish. Scott knows Richmond like the back of his hand, and provided incredible insight and support for us in our search. Couldn't have asked for more.
Thorough and knowledgeable with attention to detail.
Scott and Scott were very professional. Information and decision making process was objectively approached and not forced. Availability and thoroughness to detail was excellent. Follow-up and finish of selling process was excellent.
Scott and Scott were very responsive to our requests and helped us navigate some non-standard issues (deed updates, working with VDOT about proposed road changes). I would highly recommend them!
Scott was extremely thorough, patient, caring and listened well & always followed up.
Very professional. I feel they got the best price for my home.
Unmatched service and attention to client's needs. Keep up the great work, team! Ya'll are awesome!
Fantastic Experience
I don't know where to begin. So much to say about my fantastic experience with SRMF, specifically Scott Shaheen, Scott Ruth, and Brinkley. I sold a home through them and was so satisfied and impressed with the skills and compassion they showed me, I returned for the purchase of my current home. Couldn't get back to them fast enough. The knowledge of real estate combined with the plan of action (specific to me) along with a strong work ethic - they got the job done. Well done!! They care and it shows. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Scott Ruth, Scott Shaheen, and Brinkley Taliferro. They catered to my every need (and I'm needy)! Does not get any better than this company. They raise the bar! Thank you. I will always return to SRMF for all my real estate needs!
Very Informative
Scott Shaheen and Scott Ruth led me through some difficult decisions and were very informative about repairs, and then, also, negotiations.
Scott Ruth was amazing. We are first time home buyers and he guided us every step of the way. He made a stressful time much more pleasant with his knowledge of the area and market.
