Emily Ristau

Emily joined Thomas and Talbot in 2007. A lawyer licensed in California since 1983, Emily brings her years of experience as a practicing attorney to each transaction with which she is involved.

She enjoys collaborating with both buyers and sellers. An avid supporter of land conservation, Emily has worked through the easement process with several clients and protected her own farm with a Virginia Outdoors Foundation scenic easement. She is a member of The Orange County Hounds and has fox hunted for over 25 years. Emily is also a member of the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Goose Creek Association, the Greater Piedmont Realtors, National Association of Realtors and Metropolitan Regional Information System (MRIS). Emily has received the Greater Piedmont Realtors Gold and Silver Annual Production Awards.
