Does The RVA Group Realty help both buyers and sellers?

Commissions are negotiable and are always agreed in writing before we begin, as required under current rules. There is no fixed or standard rate. Broker Brian Hall will walk you through exactly how compensation works for your specific buy or sell before you commit to anything.

Why does it help that the broker also manages rental properties?

The same team manages 200+ homes across the Richmond metro, so it sees real rents, real repair costs, and real neighborhood trends every day. Brian evaluates a house the way an owner does, what it costs to hold, what it could rent for, and how it will resell, which protects buyers from expensive surprises and helps sellers price with confidence.

Can The RVA Group Realty help me buy an investment or rental property?

Yes. Brian Hall has been a Richmond real estate investor since 2001 and brings an investor's analysis to every deal. If you also need ongoing management after you buy, the affiliated property management company, The RVA Group, manages rentals across the same metro.
