Rebecca always kept me in the loop on potential houses that I might be interested in and went out of her way (literally) to meet me whenever I wanted to view a property. Rebecca's connections are wide-ranging, and she was able to provide solid contacts for lending, home inspections, and home improvements. In addition to her professional expertise, Rebecca made this challenging process a less difficult and arduous task. I highly recommend Rebecca D'Angelo for anyone looking for a home in the greater Richmond area.”

- Jessica D“This woman isn't just a real estate agent, She will become your friend. She is so knowledgeable about the market, the neighborhood, trends, the city, the economic shifts, and does it all with grace. She was a delight to work with. Buying and selling a home is big deal for most people. It's a life changing event, and with that comes lots of emotional turmoil and stress. Rebecca held my hand every step of the way and exceeded expectations. Our time together was almost too short. She was able to help me with last minute errands to get the home ready for listing and was hands on. She was always a text, call or email away or would be able to pop over last minute to help out. Her negotiation skills are top notch - she was able to get me way more than I expected for my property. She's also a fabulous professional photographer with years of experience and will capture all the beauty your home has to offer. And lastly, she cares about the story of your home and how working together will be the end or start a new chapter in your life. She was recommended to me by a friend and I hope this review helps her find new amazing homes to work her magic on.”

- Francine W“I highly recommend Rebecca. She is attentive , persistent ,focused, empathetic and a people person. she genuinely cares about ensure the best outcome for her clients and puts them before the money.”
- Roz"Working with Rebecca D’Angelo to sell our house was a great experience. She made the process fairly painless by guiding us through each step and offering solid advice when needed. She was a great advocate for us and her enthusiasm about the house itself came through in all her communications about it. Rebecca is also a gifted photographer, and her images really showed off the best qualities of the place. I am grateful that she was our agent and recommend her highly."
- Mike"Rebecca is very easy to work with and did an excellent job! She did a great market analysis and helped me pick a price point. My house listing on MLS was filled with professional high quality photos that she took herself and a great description, so there was a lot of traffic and activity at the open house. She kept everything on track when an offer came in and when the house was under contract. Closing was on schedule. I highly recommend her for selling a home."
- Louisa and Jason"Rebecca sold my partner and I our first very first home. She advocated for our family and helped us find the perfect house. She made the process seem easy because she was so knowledgeable and diligent. Her attitude was fun and focused, and she seemed to know almost everything about the neighborhoods we were shown."
- Noelle"Rebecca helped me through the whole process of buying my first home. Because of her I got a renovation loan and I couldn't be happier with my choice. She is spunky and on top of everything!"
- Collette"She went the extra mile on all levels on helping me find the home suitable for me especially since I had a very short time window. She also went the extra mile helping me with local contractors and recommendations. Honest and sincere you'll probably make a friend too!"
- Kathy"Rebecca helped me find my beautiful Richmond home. Rebecca was very accommodating with meetings even though my schedule was crazy and I lived an hour away. She was responsive to my requests to see properties and organized the showings logically. I worked directly with her and not through a intermediary in the office. She knew what was nearby in each of the neighborhoods we visited to give me an idea of distances to restaurants, entertainment, groceries, the interstate, etc. Rebecca understood the area of Richmond in which I wished to live and my budget and set up daily e-mailings to me of properties that met those guidelines. She made excellent suggestions about the inspection and buying process and helped word the offer letter very well to make sure I got what I wanted. Walk-through and closing went very smoothly which showed she did her part behind the scenes. I would definitely recommend Rebecca to help you find your new home."
- Jonny"Rebecca was great to work with, very attentive to my needs and concerns, but not pushy. The house sold quickly and for the full asking price, yay! This house was in an area she was not familiar with and she educated herself this areas positive and negative attributes and developed an understanding of the neighborhoods nuances and charms seemingly overnight. Good work Rebecca!"
- Tony"Rebecca is a knowledgeable realtor, very hands on and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who is more invested in their client than making a sale."
- Diane and Malcom"Rebecca did a wonderful.job. we knew exactly what we were looking for and had to look at many places before we found the right one! she was very patient and helpful! I would definitely use her again!"
- Shannon"The most important thing to me for a realtor was availability. My schedule is kind of hectic, and I knew the basics of house buying but needed help with the legal stuff. Rebecca would respond to my texts at 1 in the morning sometimes, when I found a house I wanted to see. I was so grateful that she didn't tell at me for not realizing what time it was! Also, I'm an animal rights activist. And Rebecca makes animals a huge part of her life. We were able to talk about the animal control officers in the city we both knew, and she brought her own dog along to a lot of showings. I know that may not seem like a huge deal to some people, but for me that showed that the person I was entrusting my future to was a kind and caring person. Ultimately, however, she helped me find a home that met my specifications and was patient when I asked many, many questions about the process of home buying. If you're looking for a patient, caring realtor, Rebecca is the one to choose!"
- Jonny and Briggs"Rebecca was very patient as we looked for our perfect house. And she found it, going out of the box to do so. We closed in record time and everything went extremely smoothly!!"
- Abraham and Zahra"Rebecca is the best. What can I say. She is very patient, gives great insights, and makes all processes smooth. She even gives you a worksheet that shows all steps to closing date. Rebecca is also very kind, caring and will work around your time! Thank you. Highly recommended!"
- Mike and Jasmine"If I could give Rebecca more than 5 stars I would! I don't even know how to explain our amazing experience we had with her. As first time home buyers, everything in the real estate world can be so confusing and stressful-yet Rebecca was able to put all of our worries at ease. Rebecca also fought tooth and nail to make sure our voices were heard by everyone involved in the process as we both worked as essential workers during a global pandemic. She even would go as far as pointing out problems the home may have had that we would have overlooked as first time buyers. To be honest, we had a far from "normal" home buying experience as well. Long story short, it took us much longer than planned to close on our home and we were put in many stressful and upsetting situations (ie our rental lease ending before our closing date). Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to have a safe space for our belongings and for us to live during that time gap. She truly cares about her clients and isnt there to just sell you a home. We definitely wouldn't be where we are right now if it wasn't for Rebecca! She is the brightest, funniest and most personable realtor around the RVA area and we could not have been happier to have had her by our side."
- Un"Rebecca is a fantastic and knowledgeable agent. She knows the Richmond area very well, and shared a breadth of information about the city and local communities. I lived an hour and a half away from Richmond, but despite that Rebecca was able to work very well with me in arranging multiple house tours which fit my schedule. She consistently had much to share, was very personable, and left me feeling confident and well-informed with my decision to move to the Richmond area. She also has great connections in the area, as the home inspection service she helped arrange for my new house was excellent. Summarily, Rebecca knows the area and local real-estate climate very well and helped make moving into a new home as smooth a process as possible. I highly recommend her."
- Stephen C"Rebecca worked hard to find my perfect home. I was starting to feel guilty about looking at so many homes that were far out in the country. Before her, I was working with another realtor who tried to get me to buy homes that weren't what I wanted or were more house than I wanted. Rebecca wanted me to be happy in my new home. She listened to me. It wasn't just about selling me something. She found the perfect home for me at the right price . She knew what would appeal to the sellers when she wrote the offee. I ended up getting my home even though my offer was less than another buyer."
- John K"Rebecca was very helpful in my successful quest to buy a new house as a first time home buyer. Highly recommend!"
- Chris H"Rebecca did an awesome job of helping us find our first home. Her vast knowledge of the area and real estate trends helped us make strong and competitive offers in this fast paced market. She was always available and willing to help. I would strongly recommend her to anybody!"
- B"Buying a home for the first time with my fiancé was definitely an intimidating experience, especially with how the market is currently but Rebecca went above and beyond to assist us and help us secure our dream home. Not only is she very informative, but she’s extremely personable and very honest. She looks out for her clients and helped take the pressure off the home buying experience. Rebecca was enjoyable to work with and made the homebuying process actually fun - She was a great choice for us!"
- Selena T"Rebecca is hands up the best in providing dedicated service to her clients. She goes far and beyond. She is top notch in valued service in assisting with your home purchase. She is with you through the good, the bad, the ugly and the smooth part in your purchase and if you are like me and my daughter was stuck in limbo she always helped with alternative she is the best. Everything we asked for we received and more and her connection of sources in the house buying process is so intuitive and professional I couldn't ask for a better agent."

Fall is FAB: market, fall maintenance, Hurrican Helene, dog and cat rescue
Fall is for FUN! I hope this newsletter finds everyone doing well. The fed has dropped the interest rates and housing rates are following a little at a time. This is great news for buyers, and for sellers. Also, one of the best times to buy is now until a wee bit after the holidays; things slow down, sit a little longer, and it is not nearly as frenzied as the spring. In the winter the Community Partners Grants (teachers, nurses, first responders, law enforcement) will replenish, but until then, there is still Free Money out there, and some counties, like Henrico, offer their own grants. Even if you don't think you are ready to buy right now, please call a lender for a timeline and tips on what you may need to do to get you there. Here are some lender recommendations in the Preferred Vendor link of my website.___________________________________________________________I lived in Black Mountain, NC for four years, and it is a town and community very close to my heart. I spent a sleepless week worrying about my friends, and so devastated and heartbroken for what they are going through. If you have ever seen "Northern Exposure", a great show, it gives you an idea of what the town is like. I moved there shortly after photographing the Hurricane Katrina devastation, 10 months after the storm. New Orleans had only two post offices open at that time and most businesses were still cash only. Everyone I spoke to said to keep a stash of cash for emergencies. My friend, who it took me three days to get in touch with, and is still too traumatized to talk about it, texted me and said she had no cash and the only places open in Asheville were cash only. So, I offer this as a best practice for any just in case scenarios:) I also am going to go to the FEMA website to see what it may cost for Flood Insurance, as Mutual of Assurance of Virginia (best insurance, and acts as a co-op so I literally pay 3/4 less than the average!) does not offer it as an add on. It is important to note that insurance goes up because most insurance companies are national and in so many disaster prone areas folks often rebuild multiple times.... therefore, everyone pays the price. So, finding an insurance company like Mutual Assurance really takes so much burden off.On my Asheville groups, Beloved Asheville, is one of the groups that keeps getting a shout out regarding donations. Like Katrina, the most is coming in now, but if you are inclined, the need will continue for many, many, many months, and it may be good to earmark your donation for a later date, as right now the rescue effort between private and public and government has been great._____________________________________________________________FALL Maintenance Gutters! Service your Heat Pumps, Boilers, Furnaces Clean that Chimney! Termite Inspection if you haven't done it already Check plumbing and make sure hose bibs are kept warm for when we start to freeze up ___________________________________________________________ I do animal rescue with Henrico Humane Society, and we are constantly looking for fosters and potential adopters. HHS is in the process of building its own shelter, and hopefully that will be in the next two years. Hence, the great need for fosters. Also fostering is a great way to see if the pet is a great fit for your pet you are finding a friend for. When I got Little Walter it took a few weeks to see if they would get along; and Little Walter was a bitey grump with a not nice back story, but man do we all love each other! He is a great companion for Fiver, and for me. The rule is 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months...but I don't think they are their true selves for 6 months. The trauma and disorientation can take a little time. HHS partners with Henrico Animal Shelter, who has many cats and dogs for adoption. They are by appointment only and open Monday-Saturday. Please take the time to make an appointment and go see some of the adoptable pets (rescues will go in there and take many of them). Personally, I just show up and knock on the door a lot until it is opened. But appointments are preferred, as it would be a pain to be turned away after making the trip. Richmond Animal League, SPCA Richmond, Richmond Animal Care and Control, Chesterfield Animal Control. There are many breed specific rescues out there, as well. Please remember if you find a stray please call animal control, as it is the best way for an owner to find their pet. They often let you foster for the 9-10 day hold. After that rescues typically come in to collect what they can for fostering and adoption.

MOREFall Maintenace Tips
Fall Maintenace Tips
Maintaining your home is probably the most important thing one can do to maintain its value, whether you are an owner occupant, or renting a home as an investment property. Here is an article published by Pillar to Post. HVAC and chimney annual maintenance should never be skipped! “With autumn just around the corner, now is the perfect time for homeowners to get their property in shape and help avoid problems in the months ahead. Here are six key jobs to tackle before cold weather sets in. Caulk around exterior door and window frames for a tight seal. Look for gaps where pipes or wiring enter the home and caulk those as well. Not only does heat escape from these openings, but water can enter and damage underlying materials, and even cause structural damage. Check the roof for missing or damaged shingles. Water, wind, ice and snow can cause serious damage to a vulnerable roof, leading to a greater chance of further damage inside the home. Always have a qualified professional inspect and repair the roof, but binoculars can be used to do a preliminary survey from the ground. Clear gutters of leaves, sticks, and other debris. If the home gets heavy leaf fall, this may need to be done more than once during the season. If the gutters can accommodate them, leaf guards can be real time-savers and prevent clogging. Check the joints between sections of the gutter, as well as between the gutter and downspouts, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs. Make sure downspouts direct water away from the house. In cold-weather climates, garden hoses should be drained and stored indoors to protect them from the harsh winter elements. Shut off outdoor faucets and make sure exterior pipes are drained of water. Faucets and pipes can easily freeze and burst, causing leaks and increasing the potential for serious water damage. Have the furnace inspected to ensure that it’s safe and in good working order. Most utility companies will provide basic, no-cost furnace inspections to their customers, but schedule early as there can often be a long waiting list as the weather cools down. Replace disposable furnace air filters or clean the permanent type according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Using a clean filter not only helps with interior air quality, it will help the furnace run more efficiently, saving money and energy. A wood-burning fireplace can be a real pleasure on a chilly fall evening. For safety, have the firebox and chimney professionally cleaned before use this season. Creosote, a byproduct of wood burning, can build up to dangerous levels and cause a chimney fire that can spread to the rest of the house. With these easy steps, your clients will enjoy the comforts of home all season long and know that they’re protecting their investment, too.”
