ClientTestimonials
We appreciate Scott's counsel on the Richmond real estate market.
Very responsive - Scott was night and day compared to our previous agent. We found the home we wanted, but our other agent struggled to stay on top of all the moving pieces. Scott made buying this home easy-peasy.
The best things about our house sale were Scott Shaheen, Scott Ruth, and SRMFRE. They answered our every question and met our every need. They proved persistent, insightful, innovative, energetic, and were always available. They have unequalled connections in the Richmond area realtor community, and are unsurpassed in their knowledge of the Richmond area market. The Shaheen/Ruth team was crucial to the sale of a unique house in a thin market -- a house that, without them, well might be standing still unsold. Five stars across the board.
Scott and his fantastic team are the best in Richmond. They gave us a great assessment of the market, helped us get repairs and painting done before our house hit the market...and did so painlessly and quickly. Our house was sold in one day and we got a price over our asking price.
Scott is a true professional and his company is worth the commission you pay them.
Don't wast your time with other agents...Scott and his team are the best!
Scott was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the home buying process from negotiating for the new house, preparing to sell the old house and the actual sale of the house. He was always available when we had questions and always knew the answer. We followed all of his advice and had a great outcome on both ends. This is the third time we’ve had Scott as our realtor and we highly recommend him.
Scott was a true full service realtor. Not simply listing the property but coordinating solutions with issues as they arose. He and his firm also have a great list of professionals that can be called upon to lend a hand.
We did not know Scott before we decided to sell our home. We called him because we knew he has worked in the Richmond area for many years and would be familiar with the market. We have been in Richmond for 50 years and realized just how well he knows the area during our first meeting. We were also very impressed with how he and his firm use technology to promote their properties. He is very savvy and up-to-date in this regard and this was important to us.
Scott is also very straightforward, excellent at keeping the client informed, and stays in close touch. Having served the Richmond market for so many years, he is well-connected and knows whom to call to get things done. His knowledge, responsiveness, and reliability took a lot of the stress off of us.
We approached the prospect of selling our home with dread but quickly found we could rely on Scott to get things done quickly and properly. We couldn't have been more pleased and highly recommend him without reservation.
Rarely in business do you meet someone so conscientious and devoted to detail. Scott was always on top of things during the purchase of our new home; he always had the paperwork and the answers ready. I found myself--also a businesswoman--not bothering with details toward the end of the purchase because I knew that Scott had everything under control, and that's saying a lot. He ran a lot of interference for us, led us to helpful, reliable contractors, answered every question, researched the questions he didn't have answers for, and best of all, responded to our phone calls and texts super fast. He is pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely empathetic. We've bought and sold many properties. I wish all of our transactions had been handled by someone as competent and caring as Scott. Hope to do more business with him. Thank you, Scott.
Scott and Paige are a great team. They had a great sales plan and got us top dollar for our sale. In addition, they really know the area and found us our dream home. We highly recommend them for buying or selling a house.
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!
