Testimonials
"
Find Homes Realty were awesome to work with! They really attended to my needs and were thorough with details.
"
- C.E.

What can I say that hasn't already be said by the other testimonials? Seth helped me get back to being a homeowner after an arduous 4 month search. During each up and down, he was always around, whether at the other end of a text or email, or getting me out to go look at homes I normally wouldn't have thought as viable options. Bottom line, Seth knows what he's doing. He took my wants and needs into consideration and wasn't afraid to bring me back down to Earth when my dreams exceeded my bank account! Throughout all that though, he made me feel like I was getting special service, and that is the undercurrent of all these testimonies is that he is organized, efficient, and knows how to make the customer feel valued and at peace with making such a big life decision.
It is my hope that I will never move again, but if I have to, and if I have any friends or family that need the help, there's only one place I'm recommending! Seth Batton for Mayor! (Realtor too!)

Seth went to bat for us from day one, landing the contract on our dream house. He is positive but realistic, easygoing but detail-oriented. He quickly understood our family's specific needs, and shared great ideas about the possibilities of several properties. He led us through the process of buying a home with a high degree of professionalism. We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with him on the purchase of our first home. If we ever move again, we will be contacting Seth!

Seth is AWESOME! He helped guide us to closing on the sale of our first home and helped keep us cool throughout the entire process.

I worked with Seth to purchase a condo in Charlottesville. I was extremely lucky to be able to accomplish that within a very short period as I was out of state during the pandemic. I honestly feel this would not be possible without Seth. With strong technology "know how", Seth was able to schedule all the showings quickly and his virtual tours were invaluable to me. Seth is also great at communication. Anytime I had a question, he was always quick to answer. He worked hard to stay on top of everything, which made the whole process almost stress free.
Overall, I had a great experience with Seth. I highly recommend him and hope to work with him again in the future.

Seth was recommended to us by a close friend. He worked really hard to help us find out dream home! He sent us lots of options and listened to our feedback whenever we’d visit a house. He promptly responded to communication and made himself available for us. We really enjoyed working with him!!

Going through the home buying process can be a stressful time. That being said, having a good real estate agent in your corner can make the difference between driving yourself nuts over the little things and moving the process along smoothly. If I had to do it all over again without a second thought I would work with Cynthia Hash again. I always felt like I was Cynthia's number one priority. My house was a new construction and therefore I had numerous meetings with my home builder and loan officer. Cynthia showed up to every single meeting. She even made it to ones she did not have to be at. The entire time we were working together I knew that she was taking care of all my needs. If I ever had a question or was unsure about something she would get back to me right away. I was also a first time buyer when I worked with Cynthia. She took the time to meet with me and answer questions as well as had time to talk on the phone whenever I needed. She walked me through the home buying process gracefully and I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Dear Cynthia, I can't thank you enough for all you did! You were much more than a Realtor, you were a friend! I am blessed to have you in my life. Someday down the road I hope you will be there when I buy another house. Until then I hope we will stay in close touch.

Cynthia was tremendous in her recommendations to us, her ability to get our house in shape to be sold, and in the advice she gave us regarding how to get a good price. We would love to work with her again if the opportunity occurs!

Cynthia, thank you so much for everything you've done and all the support and encouragement you've given me. Your attention to detail while maintaining a vision of the big picture is an amazing and your faith is an inspiration. God bless you richly for all you do.

I could not have asked for a better experience. Seth was knowledgeable, attentive, and prompt with answers. He was able to get me a great price for the Pelham house and also get me a reduction on the house on Governor's Way. He referred me to some great contacts along the way. It went smoothly each step of the way. I have already told several potential sellers about him. Thank you for making things as easy as possible.

We felt so lucky to have Julie Weaver involved in both the buying and selling process of our homes. She was amazingly enthusiastic, supportive and responsive during the process. There were certainly stressful moments when it came to selling our house but Julie was very knowledgeable and efficient in terms of how to address problems as they arose and advise us on the best way to proceed. She always treated us with the utmost respect and seemed to genuinely care about our happiness, satisfaction and wellbeing. Overall we were very happy with our experience and would highly recommend Julie Weaver and Find Homes Realty.

Cynthia was extremely helpful and respectful in working with our then 18 year old daughter to find an appropriate home for her to live in during her time at UVa. We were able to find the right house and Cynthia helped us with leads on contractors and services that were uniformly excellent in maintaining the property from a distance. We were particularly impressed with Cynthia's attention to detail and willingness to be candid with us, even when it wasn't something we wanted to hear. We recently sold the same property with Cynthia's help and her attention to detail and thorough knowledge of the market and pricing was invaluable. While we are experienced homeowners and have bought and sold several properties over the years, Cynthia made several suggestions during initial pricing and the negotiation process that we are certain saved us thousands of dollars. We were always confident that if Cynthia had read through the paperwork that it was correct and the necessary issues had been addressed. I cannot recommend Cynthia Hash highly enough; should I be blessed to move to Charlottesville someday in the future, she will be one of the first people I call.

I relocated to Virginia, and I was very worried about finding a new home. I met Julie after reaching out about one of her properties. I knew from that call that she would be the perfect agent. She listened to my housing needs and made expert recommendations on how to make the process smooth. Julie was a real partner through the process. She was proactive in her communication and a true advocate for my needs. She knows the market well which proved invaluable as we navigated this complex market. She is the perfect realtor!!!

Thank you all very much for everything you did for us! It's still quite a mess, but we are already so much happier in our new home, as are the kids and our pets :) You guys are great, keep up the awesome work! There simply aren't enough good things I can say about Cynthia. My husband and I bought a house a few months ago with her assistance. Having her scout houses with us was the best decision we could have ever made. She is dedicated, reliable, responsive, and goes above and beyond the typical realtor "duties". Her tireless work ethic made the home buying process an absolute breeze! We would definitely refer her to anyone buying or selling a home, and will certainly call upon her services again if/when we decide to move in the future. 10 out of 5 stars :)

Cynthia Hash was terrific, always attentive, ready to listen and adjust, gave great advice, and stuck with the process through a couple of ups and downs, and landed the plane. We were very, very satisfied. My husband worked on the house and therefore was more involved with Cynthia than I was, so I will hand this response over to him for more details. Thanks again, Cynthia! Hardly a day goes by when we aren't grateful that you did the work you did!

Had been an unforgettable experience with Julie. Julie had been our counselor, a guide readily available to help us. We completely relied on her and she proved herself a nice human being besides a good realtor. We wish her our best.

Dear Cynthia, I cannot communicate how grateful I am to you for everything that you do! Especially the past few days. You are truly a bearer of God's love, guidance & caring. You are incredibly special!

Amongst all this strife and turmoil in our world today, I was still able to make a positive life change. I'm officially a first-time homeowner! What an amazing feeling. This journey has taken months and, at times, it felt like it was never going to happen or I was making the wrong move at the time. Big shout out to Seth Batton for being my Realtor and always being communicative; professional; and courteous all the time, I can't thank you enough. If any of my friends are looking to buy a home, look no further than Seth's team at FindHomesUSA.com

Julie went beyond just being a realtor. She was a friend through the whole process. Her skills were excellent and her knowledge and intuition actually prevented me from losing the house of my dreams! She is an incredible person and it was the best experience I could ask for. Thank you Julie!
"
- Julie is amazing!!
"
Listening skills were great! You heard and advised on every concern we had. You respond immediately. We felt like you understood our stance on the sales process by Ryan Homes and, in the end, that’s what matters! We felt confident that your advice was helpful in our decision making processes. Glad we had the inspections and did the radon thing. Absolutely treated with respect. You had your best interests at heart. Very prompt in making appointments and handling communications. Our experience was 10/10...honestly :)

We were delighted to work with Clareen on our search for a new home. Buying and selling at the same time can be daunting, but Clareen made the process feel smooth; we couldn't be more delighted with the outcome! She approached our search with patience, kindness, and attention to our family's needs. She was always courteous and professional. We trusted her judgement and felt comfortable communicating with her, even when we were navigating some choppy waters. We enthusiastically recommend Clareen. Thanks to her, we've found a wonderful home.

I have known Cynthia Hash for several years and wanted to use her services to help me on a recent sale of one of my properties because I trust her as a person of integrity. She listened to my goal and input and we were quickly under contract! Thank you, Cynthia and God bless you!

We had the good fortune and pleasure of knowing and working with Seth Batton for over three years. As we lived more that one hundred miles outside of the Charlottesville area, we were not familiar with the many neighborhoods and adjacent areas. Naturally we wanted to make every visit to the area productive. Seth was always very well prepared, offering outstanding guidance in our search for a townhouse and raw land. He researched and shared his findings concerning HOA rules, zoning policy in connection with raw land, and potential rents of investment properties. We always looked forward to our meetings and to his very insightful evaluations of the properties, pointing out both the positive and negative aspects of the properties. Seth also provided us with excellent referrals to assist with closings, and even home builders. Our adult children have and will continue to consult with Seth as they too have an interest in the Charlottesville area, and realize what an outstanding resource Seth has been.

I work with many Realtors and I have to say that most Realtors claim to go above and beyond but I have personally seen Cynthia Hash consistently perform at that high level. Many Realtors talk about being full service, but Cynthia actually "walks the walk" regarding full service. From finding a property to negotiating the contract to the home inspection to closing, you will have one of the best working for you. When she refers a client to me, the 1st thing I do is congratulate them on their choice of Realtor, because I know what is involved in the buying process, the trials and tribulations and I know that Cynthia will be there throughout the process. She works extremely hard to provide a positive, enjoyable and successful transaction and I am thankful to have the opportunity to work with her and to help her clients.

When we were ready to sell our home and start looking for a new home, we knew right away that we wanted Seth to be our realtor. He made the process of getting our home ready to sell easy and straight forward and within three days of listing our home, it was off the market. We ran into a little bit of an issue at closing time but Seth kept us informed and updated on the process and because of his hard work it made the closing process as a seller much easier to deal with. He also helped us to find a wonderful new home after our old home sold and Seth has worked so hard to help us both buy and sell at the same time. I would highly recommend him whether you're buying or selling a home.

I am an attorney in the Virginia Beach area and had a number of homes that we needed sold up in Charlottesville from a client's Trust in relatively fast order. We were connected with Cynthia and her team and from the beginning the entire process was a well oiled machine! She helped us stay organized, fix any issues, and get all seven properties sold in no time!! If you are in need of an experienced, thoughtful, and all around professional for a realtor, look no further than Cynthia and her entire team.

Cynthia, it's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you. You never know where an unsuspecting call to an out of the area agent can lead.... to a sale, a referring partner and a friend! I'm glad I made that call. Thank you for everything!

We had the pleasure of working with Julie Weaver. She made our home buying experience absolutely amazing. Julie went way above and beyond our expectations. She was also there for every step of the process, able to answer all of our questions , and gave us some highly recommended services such as loan providers and closing agents. We would definitely recommend Julie Weaver for your next home purchasing needs.

Seth listened to our personal preferences incredibly well and found homes that would suit our needs. He was super responsive to any and all questions we had. Luckily, we didn’t have much of a problem with anything as far as the transaction goes. Seth made everything pretty breezy.
We feel confident Seth was honest as far as realistic pricing, location, and space desired. Seth is awesome. Every home we were shown were homes that met our criteria. Seth was always by his phone. Anthony and his team were always quick to respond as well. Our experience was prompt and professional. We will definitely refer.

Phenomenal management of a many months-long listing, a failed rent-to-own due to a contested divorce, the most beneficial use of a home warranty ever and an unprecedented pandemic. Gracious, knowledgeable and efficient throughout. We couldn't have done better. Are there six stars?

Cynthia was wonderful to work with. Her marketing of our home was exceptional which resulted in our receiving several reliable offers. Their professional service was top tear and effortless, she is a well established professional capable of handling uncertainties associated with a property sale. Everything simply went well from her use of current technology allowing for digital document signing to the closing teams support. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking to sell a home.

Cynthia, words can't describe how blessed I feel to have been connected with you. You are an amazing person and an outstanding Realtor. The whole process of home buying has been easy and fun for me because of your knowledge, attention to detail and countless hours of effort. You are truly in tune with all of your clients and you have their best interest at hand all the time. You even knew things that I wanted before I knew them or realized it. I have so much confidence and trust in you and that is the most comforting feeling to have while going through this process. Thank you for everything you've done for me... from the first phone conversation we had to the closing. Your service radiates Christ's influence and it is refreshing to be around that.

A lesser Realtor/Broker would have never been able to see the sale of "59" through. We are convinced of that. And very indebted to you. With fond memories, much love and many prayers for continued good health and strength... 1 Thes 1:2-4

Reflecting back on 2019, one thing we are glad of is to have sold the house in Free Union. It was a lot of work, it came out as well as it did in good part because of your advice and encouragement plus belated sweat equity. I hope it was part of a successful year for you and that you are looking forward to another in 2020.

We highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in the future.
