What really happens behind the scenes in Richmond real estate?
In this Tailgate Talk, I sit down with Kim Ligh for a candid conversation about the things buyers, sellers—and sometimes even real estate professionals—don’t always see coming.
We get into some of Kim’s funniest and strangest experiences showing and listing homes (yes, somehow six-year-old chicken nuggets make an appearance 😂), but there’s plenty of practical real estate strategy mixed in too.
We talk about Richmond-area neighborhoods and today’s local housing market, along with some situations that can make a surprisingly big difference when you’re buying or selling a home.
We cover topics including:
• Why getting your house truly ready to sell matters
• Strategies for move-up buyers trying to coordinate buying and selling
• How mortgage recasting can potentially help when buying before selling
• Why a condominium being warrantable/approved for financing matters—and what can happen when it isn’t
• Richmond-area neighborhoods and what we’re seeing in the market
• Some of the strange things Realtors encounter that never make it into the listing photos
• And, inexplicably, those chicken nuggets…
This isn’t a market report or a scripted real estate presentation. It’s a conversation between two people who spend a lot of time helping Richmond families navigate real-world buying, selling and financing decisions.
If you’re considering buying, selling, moving up or investing in the Richmond, Virginia area, hopefully you’ll pick up an idea or two—and at least get a laugh out of some of the stories.
