Cyndi Merritt

Cyndi has been involved with real estate and investments in one form or another since the early 80’s. Back then, she was a loan officer and investment adviser for a local bank. In case you do not remember, in the early 80’s the Prime Lending Rate fluctuated around 20%, the Dow Jones was under 800 and the average home price was just over $47,000. My how times have changed! Being in banking for about 20 years gave her a wonderful understanding of our financial and economic world. Holding several Investment Series Licenses, she has a strong appreciation for your investment portfolio and the role that real estate plays in it. Because she spent years in lending and credit counseling, she can also help you navigate through the mortgage loan process alongside her very knowledgeable mortgage partners. During the 90's while operating a family-owned wholesale brokerage company, she began her own rental property portfolio and handled the General Contractor duties for her primary residence. She developed the architectural design and later several additions. As a Real Estate Investor herself, she has done a variety of property renovations, “fix and flips,” “buy and holds”, wholesales, and even some interior design and landscape design. Yes, she will swing a hammer, climb a ladder, crawl under a house and she has been told she gets more paint on herself than on the walls…. but the point is, she will do whatever it takes to get the job done. In 2004, it was time to take all the real estate knowledge she had accumulated and combine it with the decades of customer service, marketing, investing, building, sales, and negotiation experience she had acquired. She became a Licensed REALTOR® in the Commonwealth of Virginia, bringing with her the mind of an Investor, the eye of a Contractor and the heart of a Customer Service Professional. That is how she got here, an independent business owner and entrepreneur. Continuing education and experience translate into giving you the best experience possible.
