Meet Terra Dantona

Terra and her husband, Shawn, are a real estate team focused on giving all clients a personalized experience through consistent, proactive guidance every step of the way. Following her career in education as a Math Teacher and Assistant Principal, Terra sold 100+ homes in her first two years as a licensed agent landing her in the top 5% of all real estate professionals in America before then being named one of the first Real Producers Rising Stars in the Richmond area as well as to both Richmond Magazine’s Top Referred REALTOR® and Five Star Professional Award twice. This all helped ensure she mastered the nuances of home, land, and multifamily resales and new builds across all market areas and price points while keeping client and agent relationships at the forefront. During this time, Shawn joined her as a licensed Realtor® focusing on rural and historic sales thanks to his background as a seasoned History Teacher of 20+ years and growing up on a Caroline County farm with a family of carpenters.

They began renovating both rental and resale properties in 2019, and after various projects all over the Greater Richmond area decided to renovate a 40-year shuttered triplex in Urbanna, VA. This then led to their first foray into Airbnb rentals in 2023 as well as their restaurant, the Urbanna Pearl Oyster Tavern, being born in 2024. Personally managing their own renovation projections and rental properties helps them continue to identify opportunities and financing options for their clients' personal and investment goals. At the end of 2024, Terra started serving on both VAR and RAR committees to ensure she was not only abreast of the newest developments in their ever-evolving industry but also to help ensure fellow agents are well trained and held accountable with consumers’ best interests always kept the top priority during real estate transactions. After two more renovation projects in 2025, Shawn and his father started PickettBuilt Construction to offer their residential and commercial renovation services publicly.
