Testimonials
“Travis Powell and her real estate team were extraordinary. She guided us from start to finish. We sat down with Travis months before we listed our home and she advised us on how to prep our home for sale and worked out a schedule. Selling a home can be stressful but with Travis and her team we had a support system that went the extra mile. She is a leader in her field. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, contact Travis Powell. What you will get is top-notch service that you can trust.” - Steve and Joni
“I can never thank you enough for all the help you have given me in selling real estate over the years. You are so professional and gifted in the art of marketing and follow through details. Superior!” - Carol-Winter
“We worked with Travis and Sam for over a year while we looked for our home. Their encyclopedic, exhaustive knowledge of the local real estate market, both current and historic, were invaluable to us as we got to know the different neighborhoods and waterways in the area. Their organizational skills are top-notch; they worked tirelessly to put together extremely efficient days of showings (critical as we were coming from out of the area and had limited time available each trip) of properties that met our fairly specific criteria. They were willing to utilize their extensive network of local contractors and specialists to help us understand renovation implications for properties we were considering And their knowledge of the market and pricing, especially during this volatile period, was indispensable. Finally, it was a pleasure to work with them! We would highly recommend Travis and Sam and their team to anyone considering real estate in the area.” - Jim & Carrie
“Kudos to Travis Powell & her professional staff! She sold my home on the Western Branch of the Corrotoman River in only 3 days in Nov. 2020! Travis' unique style with the Buyers did not stop there. As a recent widow, I was under a lot of stress to prepare for the sale of the 9,578 sq. ft. house & garage. Travis impressed me with her genuine interest in keeping me on track with a very short time period to accomplish a large TO DO list. She and her husband gave me excellent references for professional, dependable workers to handle needed repairs, and her husband also provided some of that work.
Travis and staff produced the most beautiful, impressive sales brochure that brought me several compliments from family and friends from New York State, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Travis continued to call me often to offer any additional help. If you want to sell your home & property, Travis will not coddle you, but she WILL be with you every step of the way toward a successful result.” - Bonnie
“It was a real pleasure to work with Travis. She did more for us than any other Real Estate person with which we had worked with. Her marketing of the house was very extensive, both by her excellent reputation and by listing our house in many magazines and newspapers. She went above and beyond in all that related to the sale of our house. She was professional and dedicated to the sale. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone selling their house.” - Ed
“I have had 3-4 real estate experiences with Travis over the past 18 months. Travis is truly the absolute best that there is. Professional, a true expert at her trade and a wonderful person. She goes WAY beyond what one might reasonably expect or even hope for. Travis is the best!!!” - Dean
“Travis Powell and her 'team' were entirely professional as well as highly communicative. Guidance was so important during the whole process: marketing assessments pre listing, going 'live' with exquisite photography, contract negotiations, interfacing with the buyer's agent, and the countless details regarding the sale of our home. We knew from the first time we met, she was the perfect agent to represent us in this process. Our working relationship was always productive and positive.” - Helene and Peter
“I have never had to sell a house by myself before, and found it overwhelming to say the least. Then I met Travis. Right from the beginning I knew she was on my side, working for me, and she never let me down. From start right through to closing, she was wonderful, and I would recommend her highly.” - Joan
“I recently completed the sale of my home through the expert representation of Travis Powell. I have had the good fortune of buying or selling many homes in different states through the years. Travis has been the best agent I have ever dealt with. She is very warm and personable. She totally knows the market. I always felt that she was giving me her honest assessment and I completely trusted her judgement. If you're in the market to either purchase or sell your home, Travis Powell is the agent you want to handle your transaction.” - Herb
“Travis Powell, is, without question, the most successful and effective Realtor in Virginia’s 'River Country.' Whereas the vast majority of real estate agents in the area conduct a very low-energy, lackadaisical and substandard job of preparing, marketing, presenting, analyzing and effectively selling properties, Travis stands head and shoulders far above them all. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, has a consistent can-do attitude and approach and simply works harder than anyone. These attributes are the reason that she is the best of the best at selling houses in the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck.” - Rick
“Appreciate your efforts! Once again, thank you and Bill (and Kamaron) again for all of your time and attention, as well as expertise of course.” - Frank and Mary Ellen
“Just wanted to let you know what a sincere pleasure it was to work with Travis Powell and her team, especially Bill Morris, at Select Properties in selling our house at the river. Travis was a true professional during every step of the process — from initial evaluation and listing, to marketing, showing to prospective buyers, working through the inspection report, and closing. We couldn't have done as well without her help. She not only knows the market and can sell a house, but she is great at solving problems and working with others. We would recommend her highly.” - Ellen and Joel
“Thanks to you and Bill for all your help in handling our property. We appreciate the myriad ways you tried to make our lives easier.” - Nina and David
“My husband and I worked with Travis for a few months. It didn't take long for her to find us our perfect river house. She listened to everything we wanted and ferreted out the houses for us to see. Travis didn't waste any of our time showing us things she knew we wouldn't be interested in. Travis is a good negotiator and when it came time to make an offer we got a terrific price. Travis and her husband, Bill, were there at the inspection making sure that every single aspect of the house was checked. Travis went the extra mile and called in favors from locals to find out details about the house's history/drain field and even went to the court house to get detail paperwork. I wouldn't work with anyone else whether buying or selling in this area!” - Maurcine
“Travis, when choosing a realtor, the wisest decision I made last May was asking you to represent me in the sale of 270 Cove Drive. Throughout the process you led the way smoothly, always in a very professional and ethical manner — with a special emphasis on ethical! All my questions and concerns were addressed promptly and completely; your advice has been flawless. Please be assured I will recommend Select Properties and specifically Travis Powell to any friend/acquaintance seeking the services of a realtor. Select Properties must be proud to count you among its brokers. Many thanks.” - Bea
“Selling a home is always stressful and since we sold three properties in less than two years it was especially stressful, with all the requirements that you must deal with getting your property ready for sale, and then going through the inspection process prior to closing. This requires an expert agent and one that is organized and communicates with you during all, this is where Travis really shines. She really prepared us for what needed to be done and worked closely with us in getting it done! We joked that Travis should bill herself as a Concierge Realtor since she navigated us through the entire process and when we got nervous and anxious she reassured us. Some people believe that they can do all this without a realtor and they are wrong not only do you need a Realtor but you need a great one and that is where Travis and her team deliver. Not looking forward to anymore real estate transactions but if I was Travis would be the person I would call and recommend. ” - Frank & Rachel
“Using Travis Powell was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. Her marketing skills are unlimited and once the house was under contract (which didn't take long) she approached our closing issues by providing solutions. Travis has a Rolodex full of professional contractors who respond to her requests timely. She handles herself with grace and our real estate experience was a refreshing one for us. ” - Diana
“My family and I worked with Travis for two years as we searched for the perfect river house. Travis was an outstanding resource who expertly guided us through every step of the process. She is also a true pleasure to work with. She spent hours working with us in person and over the phone. She understood the needs of our family and remained optimistic that we would find the right house even when one contract fell through. Travis kept telling us that the perfect house would become available, and she was correct. I highly recommend Travis to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.” - Jason
“When I got ready to sell my house, I knew it would be difficult for me as I had never had to take care of the sale of a home by myself. From my first appointment with Travis, she assured me that she would walk me through the process and be there for me with any questions or concerns. She was so patient with me and though she had many other clients, I felt as if I was the only one. She heard my worries and assured me things would be okay. And they were.
My house sold in three weeks.
I have even asked her if she would come help me buy a home in the mountains of Virginia when I am ready. Travis is professional but also caring and compassionate. A perfectionist with a willingness to listen and support. And a realtor who knows how to also be a friend.
Thank you Travis Powell. I could not have done this without you.” - Mary
“If you want a real estate agent to represent your property who will leave no stone unturned in marketing your property, handling every detail in reference to preparing your house to be listed; someone who will present herself to every prospective buyer as the ultimate professional; someone who will take care of every detail after a home inspection, then Travis Powell is the woman for the job. Travis handled the sale of two properties in 2016 for our family, and she does a fantastic job. She is not one to sit idle and just hope for prospects - she markets the property in many different ways. The photographs and outdoor video taken by drone are stunning. We highly recommend her, and would not consider using anyone else on the Northern Neck.” - Cindy
“My husband and I can't say enough complimentary things about Travis. We met her initially when we were beginning our house hunt in the White Stone area for a permanent home after our retirement. Travis did for us what no other realtors had done: she met with us on multiple occasions in her office to understand our wants/needs, she took us to visit dozens of properties in the area and kept us on the cutting edge of new listings, and she always followed up on any questions we had about the property, contacting the county or contractors as needed. She was outstanding!! In the end, we found a home we absolutely LOVE and we are happily now official 'come here's! Thank you, Travis!!” - Bonnie
“Travis is smart, professional and a tireless professional. Her website is probably the best real estate marketing piece I have ever seen. My husband and I highly recommend Travis whether you are buying or selling your home. She clearly deserves a five star rating!” - Frances & Steve
“Thanks again Travis for your outstanding service to us. As I said prior – calling you was the smartest thing we did in this transaction. You once again went “above and beyond”. We would never consider another real estate transaction without you.” - John & Nancy
“Travis is absolutely the most capable realtor in the area. We had a wonderful and stress less experience. We would recommend all to have Travis as their realtor.” - Becky & Barry
“My husband and I sold our waterfront home in a difficult market thanks to the hard work of our realtor Travis Powell. She offered us good solid advice and worked hard to bring in potential buyers. Travis' marketing of our home was comprehensive and effective, and her brochures and photographs were beautiful and professional. Travis was a delight to work with - always upbeat, responsive, and attentive to detail throughout the process. We heartily recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home in the area.” - Margaret and Greg
“Travis, insured that a beautiful website, video, brochure and ads were created for my property. She invested tons of time, expertise, and money to share my home smartly across a variety of media, always showcasing it beautifully. Her assistant Kamaron’s work on the marketing materials was also a wonderful compliment to Travis’s knowledge.
Travis’s enthusiasm, confidence and lovely energy never waivers.
Every now and then I’d hear about other closings she handled during the weeks she worked to sell and close mine. Still, she made me feel like I was the one and only. I’m convinced you won’t find anyone who’ll bring more professionalism to the marketing, sale and closing of your property than Travis. She generated excitement and multiple offers even when that wasn’t the norm in the area. The only downside is that once everything is finished, you won’t get a chance to see her as often as you’d like. She’s a wonderful, considerate person - the kind of person you’ll want as a friend for life.” - Diane
“Travis did an amazing job which made my buying experience stress free. She went above and beyond to help me. I would clearly use her again and recommend her to others.” - Will
“I wanted to take a moment to extend our appreciation to Travis Powell for her hard work and commitment to detail. We had three real estate transactions this year and had we known Travis earlier, she would have been awarded all three. As it turns out, she ended up getting two of the three. After seeing the effort and level of communication that Travis provides, when it came down to awarding the third transaction, Travis was the easy choice.
We now have a list of one realtor who I would be happy to pass along to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate here in the Richmond market or at the river. She is a pleasure to work with and most importantly we are proud to have her as a friend. ” - Steve & Connie
“Our experience working with Travis Powell on the sale of our home was more than pleasant! On day one she took over and told us what we needed to do to make our property as appealing as possible. She was involved in every step of the sale, sometimes in contact with us several times a day.
We do not know what else she could have done to make the sale of our home go more smoothly. After dealing with several different Realtors in Florida, we now know what a PRO she is. She has so much valuable information in her head about selling real estate. She handled every thing so professional but with tender love and care. We have adopted her as one of our own. We like the way she handled our sale and we love her as a person. Travis is an asset to your company. We have been blessed to have her in our lives.” - Doug & Carolyn
“We worked with Travis Powell on the purchase of our first home and honestly could not have asked for a better Realtor. Throughout our home search and negotiation process Travis was both warm and professional while working very hard to get our needs met. Especially as first time home buyers, she did not hesitate to spend additional time in addressing our questions and concerns. Travis was always available and very responsive to addressing our questions and concerns along the way. We felt as though Travis really advocated for us as first time home buyers, both offering us wise feedback and going the extra mile to find a home that met our needs, rather than just trying to make a quick sale. I have since recommended Travis to colleagues and, without reservation, would highly recommend her services to anyone. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. We were almost sad to have found a home as we enjoyed Travis and working with her so much!” - Michelle & Courtney
“Let me start by thanking you, Kamaron for all your help in sending us listings and setting up appointments for us to see properties in the Richmond area. We did find our new home and are in the process of making it ‘ours.’
Travis Powell would have to be considered one of the most professional and personable real estate agents in the business today. She made the sale of our Northern Neck home as painless as possible. There were a number of issues that would have killed the sale without her complete attention to detail and determination to make it happen. Through it all she kept us informed and focused, never too busy to answer questions or hold our hands. We feel we truly made a friend and plan to stay in touch.” - Wayne & Brenda
“When we first met Travis we said that she could never over communicate as far as we were concerned and she never disappointed us. We were overwhelmed at the attention we received and cannot thank Travis enough for helping us move over 1100 miles away from the Northern Neck, having sold our house three days before we bought another. The timing couldn't have been better and would not have happened without Travis' attention to detail. ” - Kay & Tony
“Travis set a very high standard for other members of her field to meet. It was a real pleasure to work with her to sell our home in a tough real estate environment. My family members were all impressed and thought she was a very dear person. ” - Loya
“We want to thank you for all that you have done. You’ve been terrific and we feel lucky to have had you as our realtor. If we ever sell this house, you’re our girl. We will recommend you to anyone we know … We were so impressed with the work that Travis did for us, and look forward to selling a house again so we can utilize her talents once again!” - Sue and Tom
“Travis was wonderful, definitely one of the most professional and thorough realtors we have ever worked with. She went above and beyond every step of the process and we were thrilled with the end result. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell river property!” - Cara
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Travis for the listing and sale of our 2nd home on the Northern Neck. Travis not only met, but exceeded our expectations on every level. Even in these challenging times, Travis was able to generate tremendous activity on the home and was able to facilitate multiple offers even in this difficult market. What sets Travis apart from other realtors is her professionalism and diligence. Her marketing of the home was magnificent and extended beyond a sign and an MLS listing. She well blended traditional real estate marketing techniques with modern media exposure ensuring that the home reached the maximum amount of perspective purchasers. She diligently showed the home and ensured that it was presentable each time even though it was not easy or convenient to do so. In short, we would not dream of making a real estate move on the Northern Neck without Travis.” – Harper
“My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Our primary residence is 2 hours away and Travis was a big help in coordinating the transaction process. She was there for us every step of the way down to the final minutes of closing and recording the deed. She was awesome! I have already recommended her and your agency to a friend of mine who is also looking for property in area.” - Chris and Donald
