ReviewTrent was fantastic to work with throughout our home-buying journey. Navigating the real estate market can be stressful, but Trent made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local area, always quick to respond to our questions, and a great negotiator when it came time to put in an offer. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to help us secure our home. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy!

ReviewTrent is an outstanding realtor and am so appreciative of the skill, expertise and experience he brought in selling our family home in Hanover County. I selected Trent based upon the volume of transactions he has completed in Hanover, as the property I was selling felt "unique" - lots of acreage, lots of potential issues, and some highly unique features (e.g., grass landing strip for airplanes) that I knew would require marketing expertise to reach the right audience. The differentiators for Trent are his knowledge of the local market, and a strong team of professionals around him bringing lots of marketing/sales capability to any situation, and unique advice that only comes from years of experience in working the local market. I always say I'm a skeptic when it comes to hiring realtors, as there are so many out there who are non-value add and/or transactional. Trent is not in this category! He will bring huge value to the sale of your home or property. Thank you, Trent - am so appreciative of your outstanding work.

ReviewTrent is a local Richmonder who knows the area and market well. He is calm, communicative, and resourceful. However, his best attribute is his ability to adapt to your style and needs. If you prefer over communication and more details vs. if you're more laid back, he can quickly and effectively adapt. He was attentive to our needs and wishes, even when we knew we were annoying! When it was time to negotiate and sell our house, he worked overtime to ensure we received top dollar for our house. When buying our new home, he fought for us and pushed to receive as much value as we could. He gave us his undivided attention and stayed on top of the process when it mattered most.

ReviewTrent was great to work with during the buying and selling process. He scheduled a meeting with us promptly after we contacted him about buying and selling, and kept the same prompt response time during the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and positive. We really enjoyed working with him.

ReviewI recently had the pleasure of working with Marc Austin Highfill and the team at Exit First Realty to sell my home. From the very start, Marc was incredibly accessible, always making time to answer my questions and concerns. The staff was equally impressive, maintaining excellent communication throughout the process. Each person responded to my emails promptly and kept me updated every step of the way. One of the standout moments for me was Marc's experience and skill during the contract negotiation. He added details to the contract that ultimately saved me money, which I truly appreciated. If you're looking to sell a home, I highly recommend Exit First Realty and Marc Highfill. Their dedication to their clients make all the difference!

ReviewMy wife and I have bought and sold many properties over the past 45 years. This was the smoothest transaction we have ever had. Marc gave us good advice up front about what the home was worth. After listing the property, he continued to give good advice as we adjusted the price as the market rapidly changed. We had three open houses, and each time we received timely updates on the traffic at the open house and any positive and negative comments the agent at the open house received. Within a couple weeks of listing the property, we had an offer we accepted. The rest of the the Team at the firm helped us at every step of the way, from the listing, all the way through the closing. We always felt that we were up to date with the progress and they assisted us with getting every thing scheduled to ensure a smooth closing. This was a great experience and I'd recommend Marc Austin Highfill, Exit First Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

ReviewMarc and his team did excellent work in selling my home. When I interviewed him for the listing, Marc's area expertise was unparalleled, and he focused not only on listing my home, but getting it through the closing and beyond. Marc was highly responsive to my specific needs, and his team was entirely professional throughout the process. My house was under contract with a full-price offer (therefore minimal negotiating needed) within four days of the first showing!

ReviewMarc Austin and Tavian and the entire team did an outstanding job of getting our house on the market quickly. We were in the process of purchasing a new home and were up against a time crunch. The house sold in less than a week. My wife and I are very appreciative of how they stayed in contact with and guided us through the entire sale process. We would also like to thank Shannon for answering all of our questions and providing us with various documentation from the sale of our home on several occasions for the purpose of purchasing a new home. We had an extremely smooth experience and highly recommend this company.

ReviewMarc is my father but working with him to purchase my first home gave me a whole new understanding of his expertise. He fell in love with a home that was a for-sale-by-owner and his level of knowledge even helped educated the sellers which I think helped us stand out. We beat out 12 other offers while still coming in under what the home appraised for. We are so happy with our new purchase and owe a lot to him for making it happen.

ReviewMy wife and I just sold our townhouse in Henrico, VA. We bought it several years ago. Following the grandchildren! Jeanne Brooksbank from Marc Austin Properties at Exit helped us buy it back then, and when we found out we had to move to Denver, we immediately called Jeanne to help us sell the house. Both of our experiences (buying and selling) with her were wonderful! What a super pleasant, super knowledgeable realtor. She was responsive to all our questions, answering most of all them the same day. We were impressed. We connected with her right away. We also had the pleasure of meeting Marc Austin, the broker. He explained their marketing plan of not yet opening the house for viewing while letting folks know about it coming on line soon. I think that really had folks eager to see the house once it finally was placed on the market. There were 20 something showings in the course of a week. And 5 offers. We were pleasantly surprised. Marc's marketing plan was a winner. We also discussed the asking price with Jeanne and Marc My wife and I were having difficulty coming up with an amount. They zeroed in on a number, and after hearing their reasons and rationale, my wife and I were on board. The house sold quickly and we made a nice profit. Thank you Jeanne and Marc for making a difficult process run so smoothly. I highly recommend them!

ReviewI cant say enough about the seamless way Mr. Marc and his team supported my family in selling a home. I was a bit intimidated about the market conditions and did not want to prolong the process. My family had been facing some tough times and the experience with EXIT truly left an impact. His team genuinely cares and listens to the client. The confidence put forth by Marc eased any difficulties we were facing. I very much appreciate him listening to our feedback about the listing price and working towards a strong figure which we all agreed to. The home received multiple offers right away and he guided us through in selecting the best one. Sharon, Shannon, and Stacy very responsive. I dont think any other realtor would help us get to the finish line at such a swift pace.

ReviewI can't say enough good things about Marc Austin Highfill, Exit First Realty. My life took a very busy turn while interest rates were increasing and I found it impossible to prep my home for sale. Marc's team stepped up. They help organize contractors for repair and inspections. Then, they took it to another level and help me coordinate moving logistics. When Marc said we were ready, we put it on the market and the property got numerous offers, selling in just two days. When we moved into our new home, a beautiful welcome basket was there to great us. Team members Stacey and Shannon helped to knock it out of the park.

From our first conversation with Marc, we felt confident he would do a great job for us. His many years of marketing experience, realty knowledge and guidance throughout the process got the job done in short order. Through his marketing skills our home was sold quickly and above our asking price. After the sale of our home, his team guided us throughout the closing process until the very end. Marc and his Team were always available to answer any questions we had in a timely manner. THANKS MARC AND TEAMMATES!!

ReviewMarc Highfill, Brett Dieringer, and the entire EXIT First Realty team are first class. They deliver a product, expertise, and customer service far exceeding what other realty companies provide. Their marketing, in my opinion, is the best in the business. Marc is a mastermind when it comes to understanding the market and selling your home. If you want the best, choose Marc Austin Highfill without reservation. Marc and his team guided us through the entire home selling experience and were able to sell our home in less than 48 hours after listing. What's even more special; they never fail to do the little things that make all the difference. For example, we replaced our entire upstairs carpet a few months before listing it. Marc's team delivered a basket with booties for folks to wear during showings and our open house! On the buy side, Brett Dieringer was instrumental in us finding our dream home. He traveled a far distance with us, on many occasions, in a moment's notice. When the time came to write a strategic offer to win our dream home; Brett knocked it out the park. Brett is an Ace all around. This is the third time we have been through the selling and home buying process with EXIT FIRST REALTY. Without reservation, they will continue to be our first choice and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional experience!

ReviewMarc and his team are amazing!!! We relocated from Seattle, WA to Richmond, VA during the height of the pandemic and surge in the housing market. To say there was limited inventory, would be an understatement. Marc did a great job with listening to our needs. He was able to leverage his 23 years of experience and expansive network to come up with creative (and out of the box thinking) to land us an off-market home without a significant premium. I appreciate his professionalism and devotion towards customer satisfaction. I couldn't be more thrilled with the service, my perfect new home, and would definitely recommend Marc Austin Highfill if you are in the market for a realtor!!!

ReviewIt was a pleasure working with the Exit Realty team. My daughter and son-in-law highly recommended that I contact Exit Realty (Holly) when selling my house and I'm so thankful that I did. The entire team ( Marc, Emilie, Holly, Matt, Shannon, and the open house realtors), was pleasant, responsive, professional and knowledgeable in their expertise which made the entire selling process seamless. Marc and Emilie was very patient and understanding with us during the marketing and open house period and Marc and Shannon walked us through each step of the closing process. I highly recommend Marc Austin Highfill and the Exit Realty team when selling a home. The entire team was wonderful to work with.
