My partner and I worked with Christine earlier this year on buying our first house. She is extremely organized and thorough. She walked us step by step through all the paperwork and possibilities at our first meeting. She was able to help us make our offers competitive while working within our risk comfort zone. With her help we were able to find an awesome starter home in the area we wanted. When we were chatting with her about the repairs and updates we wanted done Christine had amazing contacts she put us in touch with. Overall Christine made our first experience buying a home a great one!

Christine helped me purchase my first home a little over two months ago and has remained a great resource since. She was patient, diligent, and provided excellent representation throughout the whole process. She also connected me with lenders and attorneys that made closing seamless. What has really stood out, however, is her continued support even after closing. She was not there just to reach the closing table - she has continued to provide connections to many great local companies and offer valuable insights on remodels and renovations when needed! I highly recommend working with Christine.

Over the last 13 years I have done 10 real-estate trans actions, with 3 different real-estate agents. Sounds like a lot, but trust me, I'm not a real-estate speculator. It was just the way life happened at the time. I was fortunate in the fact that all 3 of my agents were excellent in their efficiency and professionalism. However, Christine Shepard added a level of personal buy-in that the other two didn't have. Moving from Hawai'i, we were seeking to buy a property that was in a highly competitive neighborhood with multiple interested parties. Christine built a relationship with the seller's relator and by extension with the seller himself to the extent that I feel the seller may have turned down a higher offer to accept ours. We have a home that we love, in a neighborhood we love, and it's within five blocks of our three grandchildren that we love. A big Mahalo Nui Loa to Christine Shepard for your kokua.

We had a very challenging relocation situation from the West Coast to Richmond, to be closer to our daughter and two granddaughters. I have been in the Real Estate industry for over 20 years in the Los Angeles area, so I had an idea just how many things need to come together for a cross-country purchase and relocation to be successful. We met Christine Shepard through family and friends who had had a great experience with her in a recent relocation to Richmond. Boy, did we make the right decision in working with Christine! Beyond her professionalism, she knows the Richmond market, and all the neighborhoods extremely well. She also knows the local lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and various tradesmen needed for a successful purchase or sale. After we gave her all our various search criteria in detail, she proceeded to set up online searches for us and from there we were able to identify candidate homes that were available on the market. She went over and above in surveying and previewing every one of the potential homes for us, since it was impossible for us to travel and see each one ourselves. Once we found the “one”, she negotiated hard on our behalf and in the end, we were successful in purchasing the home we loved at the price level we were comfortable with. She coordinated the closing process with the Listing agent, inspections, and all the other various details. She communicated with us every step of the way, so we were always informed throughout the closing process. We would highly recommend Christine Shepard to anyone needing to buy or sell real estate in the Richmond area, and we will definitely be working with her again moving forward.

While I didn’t work directly with Christine, she helped my son buy his very first home, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and dedication she showed throughout the process. As a first-time buyer, my son had a lot to learn, and Christine guided him every step of the way — always patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. She treated him like family, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making sure he felt confident with each decision. After a few months and several competitive offers, he ended up in the perfect home. Her guidance made all the difference, and I’m so glad he had her in his corner. I highly recommend Christine!

I genuinely cannot imagine using anyone other than Christine for the home buying process! As a first time home buyer, she helped to educate me on the process so that I was able to make informed decisions, offering insight and guidance every step of the way. Christine has the knowledge, connections, keen eye, and kind heart to make the buying/selling experience seamless from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond and we are forever grateful! Since she helped us secure the perfect home, it will be a long time before we need a realtor again, but Christine will be our first call. Thank you, Christine! We love you and all of the special moments you have brought us.

I’ve known Christine Shepard as a friend for nearly 20 years. Although she has been nothing but kind and caring as a friend, our friendship is precisely why I was reluctant to have her represent my family in the purchase of a new home. It can be dangerous mixing friends and “business”. However, my daughter insisted on reaching out to Christine and I can say with all sincerity, it was the best decision we could have made. Christine is the consummate professional as a Realtor, and truly goes the extra mile at EVERY stage of the process – critically, including after she collects her commission. I have done more than a few real estate transactions over the years, and I have never worked with a Realtor who guided the process more competently and professionally while remaining in constant good spirits. In short, I would recommend Christine to anyone looking for a genuinely conscientious, deeply skilled, and caring Realtor to represent them.

Christine Shepard was a game changer for me! I was in search of the perfect home that would be ideally located, low-maintenance and stylish. She was there for me every step of the way. From the first showing, to putting in a contract quickly she made the process enjoyable and took out all the worry. Her keen design sense helped me select a home that would be functional, modern and beautiful. Not only did she help select the best home, but then went to work to make it everything I had hoped for. She helped select paint colors, rugs and furniture to bring my dream to life. I truly could not have done it without her. She is a total package to help find, buy and design a contemporary home all in one! I highly recommend her to make your process as easy and seamless as mine!

This was our first time purchasing a home, and I'm so thankful we had Christine as our agent. Christine made the process simple for us, was attentive to the details we were looking for in a home, and was consistently on our side with everything during the home-buying process. I can't imagine having a better agent to work with. We love our new home, and if we were ever to move again, Christine would be the first person we would call. Thank you, Christine!

There aren't enough words in the English language to convey what a true joy it has been working with Christine. We had been looking for our dream home for three years, and Christine was with us every step of the way. If we thought she was incredible helping us to get our offer on our new home accepted, then how she handled the sale of our former home blew us away even more. With abundant patience, grace, and wisdom, Christine was truly there for us no matter what twists and turns were thrown our way, or how many questions we had. One would be hard pressed to find a better real estate agent in Richmond.

Our experience working with Christine could not have been better. She was professional, super responsive and had/has a very deep understanding of our needs and the ever-changing conditions of the real estate market. The entire process could not have been smoother and we got our asking price. Christine is simply great.

Christine isn't just a realtor; she creates an unparalleled home-buying experience by blending professionalism with heartfelt moments. From the initial meeting and offer submission to celebrating the sellers' positive response with ice cream sandwiches, every step became memorable. Her true value emerged during moments of uncertainty. When doubts arose about our home choice, Christine's unwavering support became our anchor. A late-night call at 12 am brought comfort and showcased her caring nature. Beyond her real estate expertise, Christine's network of reliable contractors ensures smooth processes at reasonable rates. Her joyous and supportive approach makes working with her a delight. For veterans navigating the VA home loan process, Christine's knowledge is invaluable. Referred by our trusted NoVA realtor, Christine quickly earned our trust with her warmth and confidence. Throughout the process, her dedication and constant communication showcased her commitment. In essence, Christine transforms the transaction into an extraordinary adventure. Essential for anyone buying a home, her professionalism, genuine care, and ability to create memorable moments make her a standout partner. Working with Christine is an experience my wife and I will always cherish.

I can't say enough about Christine - not only did she do an incredible job helping us sell our home (through what ended up being a rather challenging transaction), but she also helped us find and purchase our dream home, despite another higher offer. She was the voice of calm throughout both transactions, a consummate professional, and a true friend. We cannot recommend her highly enough- Christine is amazing!

Christine Shepard at Joyner Fine Properties made our home buying experience the best it could be. As a first time home buyer, she led us through the entire process, was informative, tentative, and patient. We truly could not have asked for a better person and realtor to help us find our dream home!

I recently purchased a home through my realtor, Christine Shepard. I am thrilled with my experience and Christine found the perfect home I was looking for within my price range. She showed me many houses with my specifications and honestly pointed out many potential problems I may encounter in the future. She always checked the age of the HVAC, items that would be expensive to replace, and dead trees on the property. I found her very knowledgeable on all aspects of the home buying process. She had a wonderful rapport with listing agents and she had my questions on potential properties answered swiftly. Houses were snatched up so quickly in this market and often there were many contracts on the same house. She patiently and cheerfully showed me many houses while assuring me that offers I made didn't go through because it wasn't the right one! Turns out that was the truth because she found the right one in the right time frame and as a bonus was in the exact neighborhood I had wanted from the very start of the process. Christine is reliable, easily accessible at all times and honestly wants you to be happy with your home buying process and purchase. Thanks, Christine!

We moved to the Richmond, VA area this spring from Alabama. Christine was great with providing us information about the local area and helped us learn our way around the Richmond vicinity. We previously moved a number of times, but Christine provided a review of the purchasing process in Virginia, which has some unique requirements. She responded quickly and was easily available by both phone and email. Christine continues to respond to questions we have about the area even after the purchase was completed. And Christine was able to negotiate a great purchase contract for us in a strong seller’s market.

Christine was an exceptional realtor, she excelled in all the categories above. She has extensive local knowledge, and was an excellent negotiating partner. I would recommend her to anyone.

My husband and I, both retired, were nowhere near ready to buy, let alone "upsize," when curiosity led me to a neighborhood open house hosted by Christine Shepard. The layout caught my imagination, and Christine not only shared the excitement of this unlikely client but took time to explain what it would take to go from curious to serious. She proved to be everything one would want in a realtor--knowledgeable, efficient, hardworking, responsive--but her encouragement and support, and her respect for us and our concerns, fostered a relationship of trust that enabled us to keep taking the next step until the house was ours. We would highly recommend her to anyone of any age and at any stage of looking for a new home!

I had a fantastic experience with this realtor. Christine Shepard did a wonderful job helping me to navigate an extremely challenging real estate market as a first-time buyer. Christine's strategic outlook and knowledge of the market meant that I was able to weather setbacks and find a home that fit my needs and budget. She brought a positive attitude to the process and consistently went above and beyond to make the process less stressful. I'm grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her.

I can't begin to tell you how helpful Christine Shepard was in the sale of a property recently. Due to the location of the property, there were a few more obstacles than I had ever faced before. Regardless, Christine did additional research, suggested a respectable price, and we were able to sell for more than the asking price, plus close within 30 days. Additionally, Christine loaded up her car with a few items I could not fit in mine on moving day, saving me a lot of time and money. I highly recommend Christine Shepard for your realty needs.

Christine Shepard has been an amazing friend, advisor, and miracle worker. A great personality with a caring heart. Having spent 3+ years selling our home in Chattanooga, we moved to Richmond so that we could be close to our 2 children who now had their own family. Four grand kids wanted nothing more in life than to have their Grandparents around, yet the 9+ hour drive from Chattanooga was getting a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, we simply couldn't find a house in our price range that we liked. After working, endlessly, with another realtor (homes were sold by the time we were able to look at them), we met with Christine for lunch one day and explained what we wanted in the Richmond area. That was a Friday afternoon and we left feeling hopeful. Saturday afternoon Christine called with a home that was having an open house Sat & Sun and thought we should go look at it. We scheduled a visit on Sunday at noon. The house looked like it had what we were looking for and by 1:00, we had seen enough. We were very interested. Christine's team went to work and by 5:00, after virtual meetings with everyone, we decided to go after the home with our best offer. By 7:30, Christine called us with a "Welcome to Richmond'' message, telling us there had been over 12 offers and ours was the winning package. Truly a Dream Come True. Christine and her team then helped arrange everything that was necessary for the closing, from inspections, closing date, and all the necessary topics to make sure we were protected, insured, and taken care of to make the closing day one of sheer delight. Totally breathtaking. I highly recommend Christine to anyone that is looking in the real estate marketplace. If she doesn't personally know an answer to your question, she has surrounded herself with one of the finest realty teams around, who will, in fact, have the answer. Thank you, Christine, for all of your help and assistance. We absolutely LOVE our new home.

Christine was amazing! She helped us every step of the way - even before we moved to Virginia! Every time we had a question, she responded immediately. The peace of mind knowing that she was guiding us was so helpful during the stress of an out-of-state move. She was equally astute when it came time to put an offer on the table. It turned out she saved us almost $15,000 because of her knowledge of the market in this area. And even more than all this, she was a wonderful ambassador to Virginia and all the area has to offer. We highly recommend Christine for your real estate needs!!

Christine was a wonderful partner to work with- she found several homes for us that fit our family's needs, and was a wealth of information about the local area! She always had our best interests at heart, and was patient and generous with lots of information. She even connected us with our local professionals that we needed, like a mortgage company, cleaners, a contractor, etc! We absolutely love our new home!
