ZillowVERIFIEDAfter having my house on the market for almost a year with a different realty company, Shelly and Andrea had it sold in a month! This dynamic duo is simply amazing! They listened, they evaluated, they suggested and then they staged the house - professionally! The pictures were terrific, their online presence smart and comprehensive and their leadership through the selling process could not have been better. If you want to sell - or buy a house in the Northern Neck - look no further than Shelley and Andrea.

ZillowVERIFIEDShelley Ritter and Andrea Holt were absolutely outstanding and worked together as a seamless team throughout the entire process of selling our Irvington, Virginia home. Their knowledge of the market, strategic guidance, and constant communication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. Not once, but twice, they helped us navigate multiple-offer situations with confidence and clarity. They explained our options clearly, advocated for our best interests, and handled every detail with professionalism and care. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that we were in the best possible hands. Shelley and Andrea truly go above and beyond for their clients, and the results speak for themselves. We couldnt be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea worked with us for 4 years to find the right location and home. She was patient and offered excellent local market knowledge which was invaluable in helping us to eventually find the right property. Additionally, her professionalism and timeliness in negotiating a complicated deal with plenty of back and forth in a short time frame was critical to closing the deal in just 30 days!

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea & Shelley did an amazing job leading us through the process of selling our home. They went way above and beyond our expectations. The house sold above asking within 24 hours of listing. Weve never had a realtor work as hard and do as good a job as she did.

ZillowVERIFIEDShelley Ritter and Andrea Holt were so easy to work with in selling our home. We met and worked with Andrea years earlier on its purchase and when we were ready to sell we knew she and Shelley would get the job done! When we decided to list they jumped into action and were at the home the very next day to start getting things ready for the sale. Since this was a vacation property and we were not local that was so incredibly helpful. I would absolutely work with them again!

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea Holt did a stellar job representing me as a buyer's agent for a property purchase in Mathews County, VA. I was an out-of-town buyer, unfamiliar with the local area and not a particularly experienced property purchaser. Andrea was consistently and reliably responsive, sharing her knowledge straightforwardly, and providing invaluable guidance throughout the process. She worked tirelessly gathering information from numerous sources to inform our next steps when we encountered some complications that added unexpected complexity to the situation. She kept things moving forward every step along the way and I couldn't be happier with the result. She has my highest recommendation without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea is a wealth of experience and knowledge! I am so pleased with her hard work and responsiveness! Couldn't have done this process without her! Forever grateful ?? Went above and beyond her duties and helped with such small details, even after the closing. I trust her implicitly and would tell anyone to go with Andrea on their house hunt!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I first decided to move I wasn't sure which realtor I should hire to help me sell my river home. I needed someone that could give me recommendations on staging, as well take good pictures for online websites. Also, someone that knew people that I could hire if I need work done on the house, ( i.e., windows ckeaned, house cleaner, contractors, etc.) Well I lucked out! Andrea Holt contacted me. When I met with Andrea and her partner Shelly Ritter. I was about 10 months before I could move, and I was very pleased with the service I received. They helped me get my home ready and staged so the online pictures looked great and the house showed very well. When it didn't sell right away (like expected), they had good suggestions of things we could do to get more visibility. They even took new pictures once spring had hit and everything was blooming. I believe they went above and beyound to find me the perfect buyer! Not to mention, they were both very nice to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea worked very hard for 3 years locating the right home for me in Northern neck. I would think any other realtor would have been completely frustrated with me but Andrea never wavered in her commitment and good spirit to help reach my goal of home ownership in this beautiful region. I have worked with many agents over the years as I own a Property investment LLC in Md. and have purchased over 75 homes durring that time. Andrea is one of the best ! She was also very helpful in locating the resources I needed such as reliable and cost effecient painters, inspectors, title company. In other words, she also saved me a lot of leg work since I'm not from the area. I look forward to the continued friendship shown from Andrea and her family as now we will all be " Northen Neckers" together!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy name is Darry Race and I used Andrea when we decided to make Northern Neck our home about 8 years. My daughter used Anra and Shelly when she sold her home about 3 years. Once again we are using Andrea and Shelly to sell our home. I worked in real estate for 2 years in my younger days, and I have worked with some really good real estate agents. I have never work or used an agent the caliber of Andrea. Andrea goes way above what you would expext from any agent. i found out what excellent really means. Shelley is no slough either. Boy can she stage a house. Almost makes you not want to sell. They are both very knowledgeable in all aspects of knowing what to do when a problem arises. They never lose their cool and instead guide you in the right direction to get the problem sloved. I can not tell you what a pleasure it has been to work with both Andrea and Shelley. Sincerely, Darry and Nita Race

ZillowVERIFIEDFew events in life are more logistically demanding that selling a house and managing the infinite details. Shelley Ritter and Andrea Holt of Horsley Realty were an exceptional team. Always available...always "can do"...and always encouraging, they guided us mindfully through the entire process. We appreciate all they did for us and recommend them, without hesitation, to anyone planning to sell their home. ~ Jim and Susan Moseley

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea worked with us for months, enquiring on listings we found online, showing us many homes, and negotiating offers. Last Summer, she showed us a gem in the rough that we loved! The setting is perfect, and the house is ripe for our renovation! The property had many issues that she, through her local knowledge, was able to research and resolve to our satisfaction. She continued to support us after the closing with introductions to local professionals to help us with design and property maintenance. Andrea knows this market. Not just the real estate business, but the local community. It is that connection that has us recommending her to anyone that seeks guidance in the Northern Neck market.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe purchased our house with Andrea 4.5 years ago, and couldn't imagine reaching out to anyone else when it came time to sell it. As always, she was highly responsive, incredibly helpful, and patient, calm, and level-headed throughout the process. She talked through strategy with us to come up with something we were comfortable with given our timeline, then executed on that strategy beautifully. We were so happy with the process and the result. We only wish we could use her to buy in our new location!

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea did an outstanding job working smoothly with four sellers in four different states! She provided timely updates on the process, keeping everyone informed throughout. We especially relied on Andreas expertise and knowledge of the area, particularly regarding waterfront property with a lot of acreage. The marketing, including holding open houses, helped draw attention to the property and the website photos and descriptions brought interest from outside the state. I recommend Andrea without reservation!

She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the intricacies of real estate contracts and negotiations. Throughout the process we truly felt she was representing what was best for us. We had to work through numerous addendums, and she was always on top of what needed to be done next. She quickly followed through on every detail, always with our best interest the primary concern.

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea did an outstanding job helping me with the purchase of my home. Since I lived 2 1/2 hours away she was a great help with scheduling appointments and keeping me informed. She provided me with lists of contractors and even met the internet and security alarm people at the house. She stayed for the duration of the appointment which was really beyond her call of duty as my Realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDAndrea was very helpful in the sale of the house I inherited. She knew exactly how to stage the property and to get it ready for the market. It looked beautiful for buyers, inviting and homey. We talked threw the offers that were received and I was able to make a decision. Never selling a house, this is stressful, I knew she had my back! An answer was never but a call or text away. She knows the area and who to call to get things done! Then came paperwork, I was lost but we walked threw every step. If your looking for someone who gets the job done, cares, makes sure everything is going as planned then contact Andrea!

She was quick, responsive, thoughtful, went above and beyond to help tend to matters like inspectors, getting estimates, etc. Cannot recommend her highly enough, may be one of the best if not the best realtor we have ever worked with and we have worked with many. We HIGHLY recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we first came to the Northern Neck we were unfamiliar with the area and Andrea spent quality time educating us and helping to familiarize us with towns, restaurants and their various nuances. She was very punctual and prepared for each of our visits and was always available for questions. She continues to be a great resource to identify local community service providers. I would highly recommend Andrea for her thoroughness, diligence and dedication to helping buyers find the right home.

Review for Member: Andrea Holt
ZillowVERIFIEDThere are not enough superlatives to describe the service provided by my realtor, Andrea Holt. My unique historic property, in a rural area, was not her usual listing. She was always more than considerate in showing my home and outbuildings, especially with the caution she used during the COVID pandemic. She handled more than usual paperwork, including getting bids for septic replacement, and contact with the health department. The professional photography, which she ordered, of my property, was a tremendous asset, and she advertised my listing in multiple media. Andrea was always quick to respond to my emails and texts. Her integrity was always apparent. In the end she even picked up my remaining cartons and bubble wrap to pass along to another client I have never dealt with another realtor who was more dedicated, professional, and thorough than Andrea Holt. I continue to consider her as a friend, and will highly recommend her to everyone I know, for selling or buying real estate. She is definitely a five star gal and realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDOh wow, we LOVED working with Andrea! She's such a nice person and knows the area extremely well. If we had a question she didn't know the answer to her response was always "I don't know but I will find out." We'd hear back from her later that day with what we needed to know.She is the kind of salesperson I prefer to work with. She shows you whatever you'd like to see, makes suggestions, asks helpful questions, but does not pressure you or make you feel rushed at all.I highly recommend her as a Realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe reached out to Andrea in the summer of 2018 to begin our search for a home in the Northern Neck area of Virginia, relocating from Chicago. We let her know it would be a number of months before we would be looking to buy. She was not put off by this at all, and began sharing homes with us right away that she thought would match our interest. We first met with her in August to see some homes. She was warm and welcoming and shared her knowledge of the area.We visited again in March. Andrea had worked with us to put together a list of 20 houses we hoped to visit while we were there. She was patient with us as we went through each house, some multiple times, and very quick to pick up on what we liked or didn't like about each home. Based on our first couple days of viewings we had cut the list roughly in half. By the end of the week, we had found THE house and put in an offer, which was accepted before we left town.Andrea had very open, honest, and helpful conversations with us throughout the negotiation process. She caught several areas where we would want specific language added due to the nature of the home and our situation.Andrea's amazing service did not stop there. Since we were looking at a long-distance move, Andrea attended the home inspection, routinely following up with the seller's agent to check on the progress of requested repairs or required tests. She did the walkthrough with the seller's agent and then gave us our own virtual walkthrough the next day, pointing out issues she had found with repairs to make sure we filled out the correct papers to have those fixed.Throughout the process, Andrea was incredibly responsive and helpful. In our minds, she went above and beyond, making us already feel welcome in our new home town.

ZillowVERIFIEDShe was calm and reassuring through the difficult process of selling my deceased parents' home. From repairs to cleaning out, a tedious and enormous process, she had referrals and suggestions all along the way.She handled a lot of the, literally, ins and outs of contractors and potential buyers even though I live near the home.Hopefully I will not have to do this again, but if you do - who you gonna call? I recommend ANDREA!

I was co-buying a house with my brother and his family as well so you could imagine how difficult it was to balance 4 peoples needs and wants. Andrea managed all of it so well! Additionally, we live in the DC area and were looking for a house a few hours away and she was very accommodating. She answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly and always made sure to find the most accurate answers for us. Andrea, THANK YOU so much for all that you did for us.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Andrea Holt 3 years ago while exploring the Mathews County and Rappohannock VA area for future vacation and retirement properties. After our first home viewing tour, Andrea set us up on autonotification web alerts to new property postings that met our criteria which was very helpful. She was patient and professional over these 3 years and eventually the perfect listing appeared. Andrea was very quick to respond setting up a tour within 2 days at our convenience. Andrea did her homework on recent comps in the area and helped us strategize a comfortable offer under the asking price and we got the house. Andrea was of great assistance navigating us through home inspections, elevation certificates and flood insurance requirements. She has great relationships with local trusted inspectors and insurance agents who were very helpful in getting us to closing insurance requirements with our lender. Andrea is a great communicator, a knowledgeable subject matter expert, very responsive-timely, professional and truly cares about the family she is representing. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone interested in properties in this beautiful region of Virginia.
