Historic downtown, strong schools, and neighborhoods like Gatling Pointe and Cypress Creek. Values have held up well through rate swings. Good fit for families who want a small town with a real main street.

Homes for sale in Suffolk, VA

Virginia's largest city by land area, so it ranges from farmland to new subdivisions off Route 58. Strong value for square footage, with wide variation street to street.

Homes for sale in Carrollton, VA​

The shortest commute in the county to Newport News over the James River Bridge. Newer construction, larger lots than the city, and steady demand from shipyard and base families.

Land and homes in
Surry County, VA

The most land per dollar in the region. Expect well and septic, longer drives, and quiet. I check soil work and road access before you get attached to a parcel.

Homes for sale in
Newport News, VA

Shipyard and Fort Eustis families, plus some of the most affordable entry level homes on the Peninsula. Neighborhood choice matters more here than in any other market I work.

Homes for sale in
Chesapeake, VA

Highly rated schools and steady resale. Prices run higher than Isle of Wight, but buyers who plan to stay seven years or more usually do well here.

Brandon Privette, Realtor in Smithfield, VA

Local knowledge

Ask a local Realtor the questions a listing page cannot answer.

Which side of the neighborhood floods in a hard rain. How long the bridge backs up at 7am. Which builder cut corners in 2006. Whether that school rezoning rumor is real. That is the part of this job you cannot get from an app.
