Ernie is a very knowledgeable, helpful, and enthusiastic realtor! He has in depth knowledge of the Richmond market and is always willing to go above and beyond to help. We have now bought two houses and sold one house with Ernie, and have had great experiences each time. We do not hesitate to recommend Ernie to our friends!

Ernie helped me purchase my first home during 2020. His affable laid back nature was needed as a newbie buyer during a wild time. He was the complete opposite of the agent I worked with prior (which led me to Ernie). I would love to work with him again and would recommend his services to anyone!

Ernie has helped us to both buy and sell properties during some of the most challenging real estate markets (first in 2020 and again in 2024). He is the kind of agent you’re looking for: responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, and engaged. He walked us through every step of the process when buying and, when selling, gave us guidance and advice that resulted in multiple offers within 24 hours and a sales price way (WAY) above asking. Over the years, we’ve reached out to him for recommendations on a whole host of topics - from mortgage brokers to insurance agents to painters and preservation brick layers. His recommendations have always been spot on. If you’re in the market and looking for an agent, I could not recommend him more highly.

He is always great and following up and offering advice that will help you land your dream home! I highly recommend him and his team, absolutely amazing to work with!

Moving can be a stressful time of change, tasks, and uncertainty. It can also be fun if you choose the right people to help you. You want a realtor you can trust to guide you through the process, and Ernie Chamberlain is just that – someone you can trust. Working with him doesn’t feel like working with a salesperson. It feels like working with a trusted adviser or your personal real estate consultant. He knows the market and how to help you navigate the process. He’s direct and has a great sense of humor. I’m very happy with my purchase and feel lucky to have worked with him. I recommend choosing to work with Ernie and let the process be fun.

Ernie helped us buy our first home and was awesome from start to closing - he demystified the home buying process, helped us figure out exactly what we wanted in a home, and provided so much knowledge and support through our search. Couldn't imagine navigating this process without him.

Ernie will go above and beyond for you. He not only helped us get an offer accepted on our dream house, but he helped us sell our old house. He put on open houses, coordinated multiple contractors to get our house ready (painter, plumber, tile specialist), and even did a bunch of small repairs around the house himself. His dedication and work ethic are unmatched and there's nobody we trust and appreciate more!

Ernie helped my husband and I buy the perfect home in a neighborhood that we’ve had our eye on for awhile! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ernie as a realtor. He was responsive, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Richmond housing market. We appreciated his insights, suggestions, and first class service. If you’re looking for a realtor that’s going to go the extra mile, look no further.

My wife and I worked with Ernie on the purchase of our new home, and had an AMAZING experience. Ernie's attention to detail in all aspects of the process made everything seamless and headache-free. You want a red carpet experience? Call Ernie. You won't regret it.

We worked with Ernie to find a home in the Richmond after we decided to leave Nashville after 16 years. Ernie was incredibly patient as we started navigating the move (we took our sweet time!). The first or second house Ernie showed us, we walked in and within 5 minutes he turned to us and said "I would tell you not to buy this house". At that point we knew this was who we wanted to work with!

Ernie has a great eye for spotting what makes a house great and what could cost us a lot of money down the road. At one point, we were pretty sold on one house. Ernie encouraged us to keep looking and that we would find something even better. He was right!

We started out looking for a house we could be in for 5-7 years. Ernie helped us purchase a house we see ourselves being in a lot longer than that. He was great to work with, even from 500 miles away!

Ernie was an exceptional real estate agent to work with as I bought my first house. He was responsive to my many questions as a first-time home buyer and really took the time to help me hone in on my neighborhood and eventual perfect new home.

I highly recommend Ernie for anyone looking for a knowledgable, patient, kind, and trustworthy realtor to advocate for them and help take some of the stress out of the home buying process!

Ernie was an exceptional asset in selling and purchasing our homes. He made the selling process so easy and helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. Also, he has a wealth of knowledge that he brought to the table as well when my wife and I were buying and customizing our dream home. From start to finish, we felt Ernie and his team went above and beyond to ensure success in both buying and selling our homes. I would suggest him to anyone who is diving into any real estate endeavors.

Ernie was my realtor for the purchase of my new home and I could not be more thrilled with his services. The whole process went so smoothly from putting in an offer to closing. I ended up purchasing an “as is” property that needed a little bit of work and he made sure I fully understood what that would entail. He also went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared for the work ahead of me. He was always available to answer any questions I had and was in constant contact throughout the whole process. I love the home I purchased and he made what could have been a very daunting experience an incredibly rewarding one.

Ernie is a real estate guru. Helped me as a first-time homebuyer with everything in the process and educated me every step of the way. I’m much more confident now that I have my first home secured and even feel ready to get into real estate investing. He never pressured me into buying (and even kept me from buying cash-pits). The man had a heart of a teacher, not a salesman. If you want an agent you can trust, Ernie’s your guy!

This review really should be 15 stars because at this point, I have worked with Ernie three times over the last year, and each and every time, he just knocks it out of the park. Simply put, Ernie is THE BEST. His knowledge, drive, organization, and communication skills are everything you could want in a Realtor, if not more. He helped me sell a townhome and a single-family home significantly above asking, and he also represented my husband and me as buyers in our new home. His input has been invaluable and helped us as buyers and sellers. Thank you, Ernie!

Ernie is the best & only realtor you'll ever need! He is very diligent about helping you find the right house & getting many in front of you to find that one. Thankful for his insight in pointing out the details whether it was pros or cons which has taught us a lot about houses. We will never use anyone else but Ernie!

I truly do not think I would have found the perfect home if I hadn't worked with Ernie. His knowledge of both the Richmond area and programs in Richmond that support affordable housing helped me find a beautiful home within the city. As a first time homebuyer, Ernie explained every step of the process and answered my many questions along the way. I would recommend Ernie to anyone looking to buy a home in the Richmond area; you will be in great hands working with someone who truly listens and is invested in finding you the perfect home.

Working with Ernie was a critical reason we were able to find and secure our home in an extremely competitive housing market. His sharp negotiation skills resulted in securing an excellent deal on our new home, and we are confident we wouldn't have achieved the same outcome without his expertise. From our first meeting, it was evident that Ernie possessed an exceptional understanding of the local housing market. His in-depth knowledge of the area, including current trends, pricing dynamics, and neighborhood characteristics, was remarkable. Ernie guided us through the entire complex home buying process with a level of thoroughness, offering critical insights and data driven advice at every step. If you are looking for a real estate professional who will go the extra mile to help you achieve your home goals, I will continue to wholeheartedly recommend Ernie Chamberlain with George RVA.

I think Ernie did an excellent job with helping me find a first home in Richmond. He's friendly. He was responsive and relevant with what he said. I liked the people he suggested for the whole process. If I move to somewhere else in the Richmond area I will most certainly go back through him if I can.

Ernie is amazing. The guy really cares about those of low income / first time
Home buyers and help me and my partner find an absolutely unreal home. His communication, even after closing, was extremely professional and timely. His knowledge of the market as well as what to look for in a home was top notch. I felt extremely confident with every home we visited that he was truly doing everything he could for us. Even at the first home we visited, he was on his hands and knee digging throw the leaves to check out the crawl space. A home, mind you we were definitely not putting an offer on. My only regret with Ernie is I wish our house hunting took a little longer because he was such a cool dude and I wish we could have gotten to know each other better.

Intially, my husband and I weren't certain we wanted to put roots down in Richmond, but after meeting Ernie, that all changed. We liked Ernie so much, we really wanted it to be him who sold us our first home. We knew we could trust him to guide us through the process seamlessly, which he did, and help us snag the perfect house on top of it.
Not only is Ernie incredibly likable and a joy to be around, but he is as equally intelligent, knowledgeable, talented beyond measure is his field, quick to respond, a great negotiator, and a gentleman who truly cares about his clients. You can rest assured you're in the best hands with him.
Lots of love and gratitude to you, Ernie, we will be lifelong clients!

I would highly recommend Ernie to help you find your new home. He helped me purchase my first house several years ago, and my husband and I recently worked with him again to sell that house and purchase our new home. He is extremely reliable, very responsive, highly knowledgeable, and always advocates for you.

As a first time home buyer, I couldn’t be more happy to have Ernie as my realtor. His knowledge on the real estate market, detail oriented, patience, advice, negotiating, etc. has made the process so much easier for myself. Purchasing a home through Ernie made me feel comfortable knowing I’m making a safe investment. Will use again! :)

As a first time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better relator than Ernie Chamberlin. He’s an incredibly genuine guy who makes the home buying process easy, while making sure you get what you’re looking for. He is honest, knowledgeable, and never pushes you into making a decision. Plus he’s a local resident in the The Fan district in Richmond and has extensive knowledge of everything real estate and the city of Richmond. He has fantastic recommendations for everything you could possibly need for your home from contractors, to locksmiths, to mortgage lenders and home inspectors. Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, sell your home, or buy a rental property, Ernie Chamberlin is the man to call!

Ernie is fantastic at helping people and families find their new home. Ernie first helped us move across the country from Texas to Virginia in early 2021. Ernie was extremely flexible with the showings and was able to do everything with virtual tours, since we were in Texas. Most recently, we have been exploring new houses again and Ernie has been very helpful as we navigate the current housing market. Ernie is extremely knowledgeable and can provide home buyers with excellent resources to aid during the process and help with any projects after you own the home.

Ernie has sold two of my houses and represented me as a buyer once. He is knowledgeable, responsive, fun to be around, and a great negotiator. Would use him again if I ever move back to Richmond:)
