A listing agent should be more than someone who puts a sign in the yard. They should offer:
- Education & Expertise
Years of hands-on experience, market knowledge, and ongoing training.
- Local Familiarity
An understanding of Richmond neighborhoods, buyer trends, and price positioning.
- Availability & Communication
Consistent updates, responsiveness, and support when you need it.
- Trust & Rapport Someone who listens, understands your priorities, and genuinely cares about your outcome.
Homeowners often overestimate or underestimate their property’s value.
We use detailed local data, market expertise, and a personal walkthrough of your home to determine the most accurate price range — one that maximizes interest and ensures a successful sale.
The buying process involves legal paperwork, negotiations, inspections, financing deadlines, and countless decisions. A knowledgeable, responsive agent makes all the difference.
- Experience: Choose an agent familiar with the type of home you want and the neighborhoods you're considering.
- Local Knowledge: Understanding Richmond’s micro-markets is essential.
- Communication: Your agent should be accessible, proactive, and communicative.
- Trust & Rapport: You should feel heard, understood, and supported — this is a major life decision.
With Hamnett Properties, you gain an advocate who simplifies the process, provides early access to listings, and helps you move confidently from search to closing.
Proper preparation can significantly increase your home’s appeal and market value. We’ll walk through your home together and create a customized plan tailored to your budget and timeline.
Curb Appeal - A tidy, well-maintained exterior makes a powerful first impression. Even small improvements — fresh mulch, trimmed landscaping, or seasonal flowers — help buyers feel welcomed before they step inside.
Repairs & Updates - Simple fixes like touch-up paint, new hardware, or minor repairs can instantly refresh your home and prevent red flags during inspection.
Clean & Stage - A clean, uncluttered, well-lit home photographs beautifully and feels inviting during showings. We’ll offer personalized staging recommendations to help buyers envision themselves living there.
We’ll guide you through required disclosures and may recommend pre-listing inspections when appropriate. Proactive steps can simplify negotiations and build buyer confidence.
We handle all showings so buyers feel comfortable exploring your home. You’ll receive feedback and updates throughout the process so you always know what’s happening.
Not all offers are created equal — and the highest price is not always the best offer.
Each proposal will include terms, contingencies, financing details, and timelines. We’ll walk through every point so you understand how it impacts your bottom line and your stress level.
Negotiation is where experience matters.
We advocate for your interests, manage counteroffers, and help you evaluate multiple offers when they arise. Our goal is to reach a win-win agreement that aligns with your priorities.
Once an offer is accepted, both parties sign a legally binding agreement. We’ll help ensure all paperwork is completed accurately and that deposits are handled properly through the closing agent.
- Keep written records: We’ll document all agreements clearly.
- Follow the timeline: We’ll keep you on track to meet every contract deadline, preventing delays or breaches.
Buyers typically schedule home, termite, roof, HVAC, and other inspections. These evaluations can lead to repair requests or negotiations. We’ll guide you through every step and help you respond strategically.
If the buyer is using financing, the lender will order an appraisal to confirm the value of the home. We’ll help prepare your home and manage communication to ensure a smooth process.
A title company or attorney will review the property’s history, clear any encumbrances, and prepare the necessary legal documents.
Once the buyer completes inspections and reviews documents, contingencies are either removed — moving the sale toward closing — or renegotiated. We’ll help you navigate these conversations objectively and effectively.
We encourage accepting offers from buyers with solid pre-approvals to reduce financing risks. We’ll stay in close communication with the lender until the final approval is secured.
Buyers verify that the home’s condition matches the agreement and that agreed-upon repairs are complete.
You’ll receive a checklist of providers so you can cancel or transfer utilities on schedule.
From delayed financing to unexpected repairs, we’ve seen it all — and we’ll handle challenges quickly and calmly.
Once the buyer completes inspections and reviews documents, contingencies are either removed — moving the sale toward closing — or renegotiated. We’ll help you navigate these conversations objectively and effectively.
The closing agent prepares the settlement statement and oversees the signing process.
