“A Realtor is not a salesperson. They’re a matchmaker. They introduce people to homes, until they fall in love with one. Then they’re a wedding planner.”

"As a first time home buyer, my level of knowledge was pretty minimal. Brinkley guided me through the process and made me feel prepared and confident to make decisions. With her help, I found the perfect first home! She was enjoyable to work with and extremely responsive. In addition to helping me  buy my home she also opened up her network of contractors, painters, cleaning businesses, flooring specialists, and other contacts to assist with renovations. I highly recommend Brinkley to anyone looking to buy or sell. She is amazing!"

-Mollie B.

“Brinkley was amazing as my realtor for my latest home purchase. I have moved a lot to several different areas, and this is my 8th home I have purchased. Brinkley was by far the most organized and most helpful realtor I have worked with. She has so much knowledge of the local market and her guidance made my process so smooth and easy. I would recommend Brinkley to anyone searching for home in the Richmond area.”

-Nicole K.

“This was our first house, and Brinkley was very helpful every step of the way. She made what felt to be an overwhelming process, seem like a breeze. She worked around our difficult schedules, to show us every home we wanted to look at, also brought new house to our attention for us to look at."
-Ben W.

“Brinkley is so wonderful to work with!! We work full time and have two small children -she is so adaptable with meeting times and communication. She made the entire process of selling our house and buying a new one SO EASY!!! She goes above and beyond to help her clients - I would recommend her to  anyone looking to buy or sell!!!”

-Lea G.

"Brinkley was wonderful to work with. In a very competitive market, she went above and beyond to ensure we got everything we wanted and more. She was very responsive, knowledgeable about purchasing options, and her creative negotiating skills helped us land our dream home! I highly recommend Brinkley!"

-Lexi T.

“Brinkley is a fantastic realtor! She is extremely diligent and truly has the best interests of her clients at heart. It is so obvious how much she loves her job by how responsive and hard-working she is. Selling our parents' home was very emotional, but Brinkley consistently approached us with  patience and empathy. Brinkley not only marketed our home well, but suggested, scheduled, and met numerous individuals doing work on the house because we don't live in Richmond. It was such a weight off our shoulders to have someone local that we could trust. We also really appreciated that Brinkley strived to share the most accurate information possible with us. If she was ever slightly unsure of a question we asked, she was quick to do her own research and get back to us promptly. I would highly recommend Brinkley to anyone!

-Blair L.

“Brinkley was amazing to work with from beginning to end. She spent time finding us exactly what we were looking for. She kept detailed notes when looking for a house to remember all of the things we would forget during the excitement of looking through a potential home. We are so grateful for all  her hard work in making the experience smooth! She was hands on and always willing to help with whatever we needed to sell the house we owned. Highly recommend Brinkley for buy/sell/both!!!!”

-Marion & Jon K.

“My husband and I were really fortunate to have Brinkley Taliaferro as our real estate professional. She is such a talented, knowledgeable, and professional agent. Brinkley's calm and pleasant demeanor put us at ease as soon as we met her. She listened to our needs and preferences and then set up  a variety of houses to view on our next meeting with her. We were living out of town, at the time, and Brinkley was always willing to work around our schedule. Each time we met, she would show up with a printed agenda with all the home listings we were going to see that day. This was very helpful in making the day run smoothly. We never felt any pressure about buying a house. She also knew the right questions to ask other agents whenever we were at a new-build site. Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Brinkley made it a positive experience for us. If I were ever going to buy another house, I would ask Brinkley Taliaferro to be my real estate agent.

-Debbie & Keith C.

“Brinkley was a recommendation from colleagues of mine at VCU. She was so helpful from the beginning to end of the process. We had an initial appointment to discuss our preferences and timeline where she went step by step. She made recommendations about financial options and neighborhoods. About 2  months later, we decided that we were ready to start looking. Once that began, we quickly saw about 15 places. They were always scheduled to accommodate our needs. Each place, she would talk us through the pros and cons and we would decide what we were doing next. We actually requested to see the place that we ended up buying (even though it was out of our price range) and she made it happen. Once we decided on it, Brinkley held our hands through the 30 day closing process, inspections, all the way to handing over the keys. Once we started looking, we did the whole thing in about 2 months. As first time home buyers, we had NO idea what we were doing and she really helped us figure it out. The We are thrilled to recommend Brinkley! She is great!”

-Kikau A. & Derrick J.

We moved from out of state and Brinkley was very helpful with her local knowledge. Brinkley always responded quickly and was available every time we wanted to view a home even when we gave short notice. She was very patient with us and was always enthusiastic!”

-Michelle & Kyle B.

"Working with Brinkley was an absolute dream! Her familiarity with the area helped so much when we were trying to narrow our search. She did a great job of walking us through every part of the home buying process. All of her suggestions, helpful hints, and her clear communication, helped us secure a  home quickly and with minimal stress!"

-Jamie & RD M.

“Brinkley helped my husband and I find our first home in Chesterfield, VA and we could not have been more pleased with how everything went! Brinkley was very knowledgeable, attentive, and made it so easy to visit homes and talk through the pro’s and con’s of each. She was so easy to talk to and we really felt like she was invested in finding us a home that would check all of our boxed. She also provided amazing references for other professionals to work with during the closing and moving process, including a local carpet company that did great work replacing the carpets for us when we moved in. We highly recommend her to anyone looking in Richmond and the surrounding areas.”

-Hannah & DJ H.

"Brinkley was so great to work with throughout our entire buying process. We were moving from a few hours out of town and would pepper her with texts and phone calls at all hours. She was very responsive, quick to schedule (you have to be in this market!), and oh so helpful with all of the final closing details! 10/10!"

-Beth B.

“In an absolutely crazy competitive housing market, Brinkley helped us purchase our dream home. This was out first home purchase and Brinkley did an incredible job assessing our needs/wants/desires, helping us set our expectations in regards to timeline and process, she advised us on how to present an offer that would win our over many others, and truly supported us through every step in the process. Anyone we talk to cannot believe what an incredible find our home is and that is all thanks to Brinkley.”

-Shannon S.

“We are so thankful for Brinkley! This was our first time going through the home buying process and Brinkley really made it as painless as possible. She was helpful, knowledgeable and optimistic. We never felt like we were alone during this process. The real estate market doesn’t stick to normal business hours and Brinkley was readily available for questions and chats about potential houses to see. She was on an out of town trip the day offers were being reviewed for the house we bought and she was still available to check in with us! We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Richmond area. She will surely make the process more enjoyable!”

-Amber S.

“Don't bother working with anyone else! Brinkley was the perfect agent for us when we decided we wanted to start shopping for a home. We met her through a first time home buyer's workshop that she held for a local women's group and knew she would be amazing to work with. The first house we offered on was the perfect one for us and Brinkley helped us win right out of the gate. We had tons of questions for her and she was able to give us straightforward and understandable answers about some pretty complicated nuances of the home buying process. We will be using Brinkley again if we buy or sell a house in Richmond.”

-Matthew H.

“Brinkley helped us buy our very first family home! She is the consummate professional and stops at nothing to make sure her clients are satisfied. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us and always did so with a smile. Brinkley is well-versed in the real estate market and does her due  diligence in investigating potential properties. She is not afraid to share her (valued) opinions, but is incredibly respectful of yours! I highly recommend her as your next realtor!!!"

-Caitlin & Will C.

“Brinkley was recommended to us by friends and we are so happy that we got to work with her! Brinkley was extremely patient and responsive with us. She helped us every step of the way, all hours of the day, and made our home buying process a breeze even in the middle of a pandemic from another state. Brinkley was thorough, knowledgeable, and so professional. If we ever need to buy another house, we know who to call!”

-Sophia S.

"We found our home and Brinkley helped us with choosing the appropriate offer and worked tirelessly to have us close on time. We highly recommend her and would use Brinkley again in an heartbeat!! She was very easy to work with :)"

-Pattye W.

“We definitely lucked out with Brinkley. She guided us masterfully through every stage of the homeowning process and was always there to field our questions and concerns, no matter how trivial. We could count on her to serve in our best interest with her experience and knowledge of the Richmond area, and with the inherent ebb and flow of negotiations and inspections. She is very efficient and meticulous in administration - she was able to get us in our current house due to her diligence and deftness in executing the offer sheet. We will definitely seek her out when we need a realtor.”

-David K.

“Brinkley made our entire home buying experience a breeze! We are so grateful for her attentiveness, expertise, and guidance throughout the whole process. She was truly our advocate and taught us so much about the market and processes. Even though we just moved, we're looking forward to our next opportunity to work with Brinkley!”

-Remy H.

"Brinkley was an amazing realtor! She was patient in helping us decipher exactly what we were looking for and really tailored the home buying experience to our needs. When buying our first home we thought we had a good realtor but only after working with Brinkley did we understand how much we missed  out on when you have such a great person to work with. "

-Brittina & Justin P.

“Brinkley was responsive and helpful, willing to work with our work schedules, and understood the home we were looking for needed to have charm, not just check off boxes.”

-Jack & Kara Q.

"Brinkley is a talented mindful real estate agent that puts her clients first. She will work with you until you find the home of your dreams. On multiple trips to Richmond Brinkley was on time and showed us multiple homes based on what we had shared with her. Brinkley shared her local knowledge and  acted as a true professional. She is the best always having a smile on her face."

-Steve R.

"My husband and I were relocating to the area and Brinkley was able to make us feel like we were coming home! She is very knowledgeable of the area and if we posed a question that she was not sure of the answer, she had someone who she could contact with the answer. Growing up in the area and  currently living in the area, Brinkley is able to advise of areas with good schools, local culture activities as well as housing trends. She is not a high pressure sales representative looking to sell you just any house, she is a sales representative partnering with you to find your dream home. She assists you in looking for your best options."

-Karyn H.

"We had a lot to learn about Richmond and the home buying process. Brinkley patiently guided us through the process. With us she was patient and responsive to our many questions. I was also impressed with Brinkley's humility-- if there was an aspect of the process that was novel for us all she nevershied from acquiring more knowledge and developing new strategies that best fit the situation. Brinkley was beyond friendly, she really became a friend. She was honest with us and we really trusted her. Oh-- and she's amazing with children. While we were excited to see new houses, our son was always most excited to see Brinkley."

-Seb P. 

"Brinkley worked with us to buy a home during a challenging time in the housing market. She was extremely responsive to questions, concerns and requests to see potential homes, even on very short notice. She came to each viewing prepared with important information and always followed up with data that made us feel confident in our decisions. She never made us feel pressured or rushed during the process. It was clear that she truly cared about helping us find the right home for our family. Brinkley was a pleasure to work with. Now we have a home we couldn't be more excited about."

-Joanna P.

“Brinkley manufactured a great deal out of a situation where one did not really exist before her efforts. My condo was not listed but she was aware that I was open to offers and managed to find one above my hypothetical asking price, in all cash. She was also responsive and engaged.”

-Sean D.

“Brinkley is very professional, diligent and very knowledgeable. She will guide you all the way till closing.”
