    I was born and raised in Chesterfield County, and after a few years of moving up and down the East coast, I returned to RVA, living in the city, and finally landing in Henrico County, where I’ve been for many years now.

    A Bit About My Background

    Cindy Bennett – Associate Broker, ABR, GRI, GREEN

    I’ve been selling real estate full time since 2003. Before that, I trained as a goldsmith/ jeweler, graduated from VCU with degrees in English and Economics, owned a restaurant/ catering company, and an eco friendly retail business, to name a few. I’ve been, as they say, a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker. (Not really, but pretty darn close!)

    Why do I share all of this? Well, because while nothing ever grabbed me the way real estate has, I learned so many skills in those adventures that help me help you. Not to mention the fact that I am one of the best jugglers I know. Ok, not literally, but I can multitask and wear many “hats” like a champ! Trust me, that is a must have quality in a Realtor®!) From analysis and negotiating to marketing, technology, and creative, out of the box thinking, I’ve got you covered.

    What I Do for Fun in RVA

    In my “spare time” I love indoor cycling, hot yoga, live music (I’m crazy for all sorts of music, from bluegrass and country to rap and everything in between), spending time with my son (in college now- go App State!), trying new restaurants and things to do in the Richmond area, and cooking.

    I’d love to meet you, and learn how I can help you to reach your real estate goals. Let’s talk!

    An Agent You Can Trust

    I am also a Google Screened Real Estate Agent, which means I’ve passed all their screening and background checks, so you can feel confident on your home buying or selling journey.  Watch the video below to hear what my clients are saying about working with me, or check out my reviews.

    Testimonials

    Cindy did a great job helping me find the best house in my price range. She understood my non-negotiables and ensured I got the best deal as possible. I highly recommend her!

    RACHEL P.

    Cindy was incredible from the very beginning of our home buying process. I literally had a page of questions for her and she answered them all. My wife and I could not have been happier with the process and house Cindy helped us find. She is extremely knowledgeable about real estate in general as well as local market trends and pointers. Cindy was VERY reliable, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond on several occasions during the process. We highly recommend Cindy and definitely found our Realtor® for life.

    Garat S.

    Cindy has an excellent knowledge of the Richmond market and has fantastic negotiation skills. She is extremely patient and flexible in working with her clients. I would highly recommend working with her as a Realtor® and would definitely work with her again.

    Morgan A.

    As always, Cindy was great to work with throughout the entire process of selling our house and buying another house. We have worked with her as our agent several times over the years, and she is always extremely professional, knowledgeable and hands-on. Cindy was highly responsive and worked very hard to ensure that everything went smoothly on both our sale and our purchase. She provided great advice and always had our best interest at heart. We highly recommend Cindy!

    Cindy is a wonderful Realtor®. I was a single mom, purchasing my first home, and she walked me through every step of the process. She helped me get pre-approval, financing, and held my hand through a very long, closing process (due to gov’t changes). Throughout the whole experience, she provided incredible insight and professionalism. I got a great deal on my home and gained a friend in return. I’d absolutely recommend Cindy!

    Leigh O.

    I 1000% recommended Cindy to be your representation if you are in the market to buy or sell a home. Cindy made herself very available to us when we were selling our home, answering questions, explaining the steps in the process, and guiding us on where our money would be best spent for the maximum return at sale. If you are looking for the best agent to be in your corner for your real estate needs, Cindy is the one.

    We only had a few weekends in Richmond to find a home, and Cindy was very accommodating. She was patient and we felt unhurried when we were with her. Found a great home in a great neighborhood and still love it!

    Bridgit K.

    Cindy is great! She knows what need to be done and doesn’t mess around. She helped me sell my mother’s house in record time. The inside was dated, and she helped me identify what needed updating prior to putting it on the market. She had names on the ready for good, reliable help to do the job. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would call on her again in a heartbeat!

    Angie G.

    Cindy Bennett was the perfect choice! Moving an elderly parent is concerning on so many levels, and Cindy took the stress out of the house selling experience for everyone involved. I chose her for her professionalism, but was even more impressed with how she truly considered my mother’s concerns about the process; and with her genuine, down-to-earth demeanor, explained in real terms the expectations of the market, the individual buyer and how the process would play out. Cindy never failed to disappoint at every step, and the house was sold in less than a week! I highly recommend Cindy Bennett for your Real Estate Broker needs.

    Karen S.

    Cindy was fantastic! She helped me every step of the way with the process of buying my new home and then with selling my prior home. She didn’t hesitate to answer any of my questions. I know who I’ll call if I decide to buy or sell again.

    Instagram post Fannie Mae just shook things up a bit… If you’ve seen the headlines about “no more minimum credit score” and thought, wait… can I actually buy a house now? — this post is for you. Here’s the short version:
Fannie Mae removed its old 620 minimum credit score line for loans run through its Desktop Underwriter system. Instead of a hard cutoff, it now looks at your entire financial picture- income, debt, savings, payment history, rent, and more. That does NOT mean “buy a house with bad credit and no questions asked.” 
It DOES mean: * If you’re just under 620 but strong in other areas * You’ve got solid rent + bill payment history * Your credit file is “thin” but you handle money well …you may have more options than before. In a market like Richmond, where prices, rates, and rents are all playing their own little game, every bit of flexibility helps- especially for first-time homebuyers, folks with lower credit scores, or anyone who’s been afraid to even talk to a lender. On the blog, I break this down in plain English: * What Fannie Mae’s credit score change actually is * Who it helps (and who it doesn’t) * What hasn’t changed about getting a mortgage * The exact steps to take if you’re thinking about buying in 2025 If “my credit score” is the thing keeping you on the sidelines, it’s time to get real info instead of guessing. 💛 📌 Save this post for later

 If you have questions or you want to talk to a great local lender who can walk you through how this affect affects you? Just message me! Instagram post One thing you will probably never see me do is talk someone into buying a house. Because if you have to talk yourself into it, it’s probably not the right one. Well yes, there are occasions where people are on a real time crunch and have to buy when there’s nothing on the market. That is a great fit, that is a relatively rare occurrence these days. And frankly, even if you have to rent for a couple of months while you look, you are a heck of a lot better off to wait and buy something that feels right. So I won’t try to talk you into anything, but please think about whether you are trying to convince yourself. Because if you have to talk yourself into it, you are better to let it go.
