This was the second time using Javier as my realtor. He helped me buy my townhouse back in 2022 when I relocated from WV to Richmond, VA as a widow and single mother, buying my first house on my own--earning my trust and admiration with his professionalism and expertise, and has now helped me simultaneously sell the townhouse and purchase our current house with my new husband and our family. He is outstanding in both arenas! He will walk with you every step of the way throughout the process. From contemplating selling/buying, creating a timeline, to recommending service providers, to staging advice-- Javier is an expert in his field of work. Selling the townhouse was no easy feat as we have 6 children and 3 cats so preparing the house for market and showings was a bit overwhelming! Javier was full of encouragement, suggestions, advice, and fit show times to my family's schedule. He was always available for questions and concerns, responding quickly to our messages. The buying/selling process can be complex, Javier is great explaining things at level that the ordinary person, like myself, can understand which I was grateful for. Javier is also bilingual, a bonus, as my husband's first language is Spanish. I will never forget Javier's words to us when midway through selling the townhouse we had a major setback that put the entire process at jeopardy. He said, "there is always a solution." He helped us consider our options and look for solutions. I have since taken those words as my personal outlook on life! Successfully back on track, he helped us get the optimal selling price for the townhouse while working through a contingent purchase on the new house. Negotiating is extremely important in both selling and buying processes, Javier always looked out his client's interest while putting all the decisions in our hands. Our family loves our new house and our new neighborhood!! We are so happy with our purchase, the journey to get here, and forever grateful to Javier for making our dream of upgrading our house a reality! I can't recommend Javier enough!
