You are in such good hands with Allison! From the moment I reached out asking for help to buy a new home, Allison was the picture of professionalism, expertise, and excellence. Allison is a phenomenal communicator and is consistently responsive via text, phone, and even left a detailed voice message explaining a process in detail so I could review it later. Immediately, Allison was able to explain complex concepts to me and help me feel more confident to make the best decisions for my future.
Allison works hard to create lasting relationships with clients and other professionals in the market and she has built an incredible network that will provide for you. She helped me to find an agent to sell my house in another market and consistently checked in with me through all stages of the process. In a dynamic real estate market, Allison shines with savvy negotiation skills, attentiveness to your needs, and superb insight. Once I was ready to start the buying process, she immediately jumped into action and reduced my overall stress over buying a home. She consistently went above-and-beyond to ensure I was feeling confident and excited to continue the home-buying process. She is able to balance being a sharp negotiator and a kind, understanding resource to her clients. She would often say that every time we went to a showing or put in an offer, we were steadily learning and making progress toward our goal. I knew I was in good hands when she was advocating on my behalf and went to bat for me! It truly feels like being on a team when you work with Allison.
I had such a great experience with Allison and I am truly grateful for the energy, time, and skills she put into making my home-buying process worthwhile.
If you are looking for someone who is capable, professional, approachable, and communicative, put your trust in Allison Schwalm!
We lucked into Allison and we're so happy that we did. We were looking to move from FL to VA and she made the process so easy! She was able to work with our travel schedule and provided consistent communication throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable about the area and helped us navigate the different areas in Richmond and Chesterfield. Allison goes above and beyond for her customers and you can trust her with helping you to navigate the changing real estate market. 2023
Allison is kind and hard working. She is responsive and a good listener. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend that you do too. 2023
My husband and I recently sold our townhome using Allison and her team. They were fantastic to work with. They paid attention to our needs and exceeded our expectations as well as were fantastic communicators. 2023
Worked with Allison for over a year trying to find the best property. She took the time to show me many places, catering to all of my requests and helping every step of the way. She informed me of what to look for, narrowed my scope to help pinpoint the best location and property, and used her experience to let me know if I should pay over asking or under asking. I would recommend. 2023
Allison is the absolute best. She listens and makes sure to pull properties that meet your requirements. There simply are not enough positive adjectives to describe how awesome Allison is. She will work until you find what you want and then makes sure everything moves smoothly. We feel fortunate to have worked with her. Shes an all around good person which makes the process easier and pleasurable. 2023
Allison was an amazing partner through my home buying process! She was extremely friendly, responsive, and knew the market like the back of her hand. Any questions I had - and I had plenty - she was able to answer and she made buying my home painless. Highly recommended! 2022
Allison is the best realtor we have ever worked with. First, she cares. Like, really really cares about the individual and their needs. She is patient yet persistent and knows the market so well. We had a super quick job relocation out of state and she was so helpful getting our home staged to sell quickly for top dollar. 2022
I cannot recommend Allison highly enough. I was a first time home buyer in a strange market for buyers and sellers alike. Allison was really communicative and helpful while we were trying to narrow down our likes and dislikes from a different state. Once we found one we loved (during our first time even seeing houses), Allison had our offer written up within a day, and the seller accepted our first offer. Soon thereafter, we wanted to amend the contract a little bit, and Allison was smart about how best to do that while benefitting us the most while ensuring the sellers would still accept. Being a first time homebuyer can be incredibly daunting, but Allison was never annoyed by my incessant questions via text or email, and her responses were always super quick. She held my hand through the whole process, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else looking for a home in the area. 2022
Allison helped me buy a home with specific location and budget requirements, and a tight timeline. After the first offer fell through, we were able to make another offer and close on a house within my timeline, in a wonderful neighborhood. She was helpful, responsive, knowledgable, and we did this 100% virtually. She did video walkthroughs of the locations, and made an excellent lender recommendation as well. Ill return to her when Im ready to buy my next place in VA! 2020
We just successfully navigated the first-time home buying process in a super competitive Richmond market, but we feel our agent Allison really deserves 100% of the credit! In these current times, you need an agent who is on top of their game and stops at nothing short to get the job done on your behalf. Someone who is responsive and acts quickly; whether it's scheduling showings in houses that just came on the market only hours prior, drafting competitive offers, or negotiating the contract in your favor; you really need an agent who puts in the time and effort to be successful. Prior to signing an exclusive contract to work with Allison (and her real estate team), we had previously met with multiple companies and agents. Our instincts led us to work with Allison over the others. Allison literally made us feel that we were her only client throughout the entire process which actually spanned over multiple months and countless showings. It turns out our instincts were spot on - she was so amazing to work with. We will be recommending her to any and all friends and family looking to purchase (or sell!) their homes in the area! 2019
