Bob Shanks
Bob has been serving buyers and sellers across central Virginia for 20 years. This means he can help you buy or sell whether the market is up, down or just plain crazy. You have a lot at stake, so you want an agent who brings knowledge, strategy and skillful negotiation to your situation. That takes experience, dedication and a caring attitude. If you hire Bob, that’s what you get. No wonder Bob is able to stay busy working with referrals. Give him a call to set up a time to get together!
Bob and his wife, Kathryn, are long-time Richmond residents who raised four kids in the Bon Air area and love all that Richmond has to offer. Kathryn leads a speech and debate club while Bob loves to discuss real estate over coffee (and play pickleball).
