I’m your RVA HomePRO Michael Hottman with Keller Williams Realty. I’m a Realtor in Richmond, Virginia focusing on homes all over the area from Short Pump to Mechanicsville, Chester to Ashland, including Glen Allen, Midlothian and Southside. As a third generation Realtor I’ve been involved in real estate since I could hold open a trash bag helping my dad clean out rental properties. The brokerage my grandfather started in 1947 is still run by my family and serves Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.

My experience in real estate includes property management, investment properties, land development, contract negotiation, and residential sales including new construction.
 
After completing my Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech I worked in graphic design and information technology doing marketing and events. In 2008 I earned a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University which led me to become a Licensed Professional Counselor and life coach. 
 
Now as a Realtor I use all that experience as leverage for my client’s transactions. How many other REALTORS can say they are a professional listener, trained to truly hear and understand your goals, have the skills to leverage technology and marketing to accelerate the realization of your goals, and can give insight on critical aspects to consider in any home whether you’re selling, buying, or investing?

I love helping people evaluate their situation, help them explore their options, and then work to execute a plan to achieve their goals. It’s about putting my clients FIRST, being a fiduciary for them, working hard to help them achieve what THEY want whether they are looking to sell a home and move into something different; preparing to purchase a home for the very first time. OR diving into the world of real estate as an investment. (Sometimes I even encourage people not to sell or buy a home – if that makes the most sense for their situation.)
 
If you would like to know more about how I can help you sell, buy, or invest in real estate I welcome your questions and provide free consultations so we can get started right away. I often find the sooner I get involved in helping someone, the smoother their transaction.
