Blake Poore recently helped me to find a great home. We looked at many homes and I was never rushed or pushed. It was all about helping me to find the perfect home that I would be satisfied with. Blake came highly recommended by many people I know. I would definitely use Blake again because he is knowledgeable and professional and also knows every area extremely well. ~ jrp12pro (Buyer)

Very likely. All transactions were handled in a timely manner and each concern was dealt with professionally. He and his company are continuing to work to find us another house with daily contact.

We previously had our home on the market for sale by owner. Had lots of showings but no offers. We listed with Blake Poore and his team and they immediately presented a plan to help us achieve our goals. They actively followed up on every showing and kept us informed. We found their ideas and suggestions to be helpful. They work together as a team to best serve their clients, and we were pleased with the results. ~ Margie & Buck H. (Seller)

Working with Blake Poore and his team was really a great experience for my husband and I when looking to relocate to Richmond from Ohio. We were a little unsure about being able to find the right fit in an agent to work with as we were long distance, but after meeting with Blake Poore for the first time, our minds were at ease. He took us on a marathon house hunt the first day (per our request) since we had limited time in town, and we were able to learn a lot about the market. We were pretty im…

We are fortunate to know and partner with Blake Poore and his team. They give 100% in professional courtesy and trust.

Blake’s team took over our house after a poor experience with another realtor. They were amazing from taking pictures to final closing! They made the process easy for us and was 100% responsive throughout. We are so grateful for the honesty, thoughtfulness and hard work! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their realtor. Thank you for all that you’ve done for our family! ~ rachael235 (Seller)

I had the pleasure of using Blake Poore and his team to assist in the sale of a unique Midlothian based condominium with substantially above market HOA fees. They set expectations during and following our initial consultation regarding the effort and patience needed to sell the property. The firm did a good job of putting the property out on the internet and other listing sites. I received automated reports weekly regarding views, contacts, etc. I received very timely feedback from visit…

Buying A House: I met Blake Poore at an open house. We had met other realtors in the process of working towards buying a new home, but after talking to Blake for a while, I could tell he was the right choice for us. We were a new family and first time home buyers. Needless to say, we had no idea what we were doing. Blake was able to help us through the process. He talked to us and found out exactly what we were looking for. Never once did he try to push us towards or show us a house that woul…
