Customer Reviews

I had a pleasure of working with Connie on a sale in the Oxford area of Richmond, with Connie representing the buyer and I the sellers. She was amazing to work with, awesome communication, great follow up, and always very collaborative, all done while representing her client well. In the future if I see Connie's name representing a client, I'll know there is going to be a great working relationship that will benefit all parties. I rarely do reviews for other agents, but Connie deserves a shout-out for her communication and professionalism.

As first-time home buyers in a sellers' market, the best decision my husband and I made was connecting with Connie Byers. She was our rock throughout the entire process - recommending local lenders, creatively crafting competitive offers, and skillfully negotiating with our unique interests in mind. She helped us to close on a beautiful house on a peaceful cul-de-sac amid an insanely hot market... all while we were moving from out of state! Connie conducted open house visits and private showings via Facetime, being our eyes and ears, which made us feel comfortable making a major decision from miles away. She was always approachable, extremely detail-oriented, and has the most reassuring positive attitude to keep your spirits up during a stressful time. Her relationship-oriented personality is paired with her experienced execution skills to make her a true partner in your journey. Connie truly "went to bat" for us and we cannot believe how smoothly everything went. Next time we're ready to buy or sell, she'll be the first person we call.

My wife and I re-entered the real estate market after years of renting. We are fairly new to the Richmond metro, and entered the market at what I believe will prove to be the most difficult time for buyers in the last decade and a half. Our budget was pretty modest, but Connie gave us her full attention and made us feel like million dollar buyers. She took care of us, and was relentless in helping us find the home that was right for us. We love Connie! Once you work with her, you will want anyone close to you to have that same experience. She is now a lifelong friend to our family. You can trust that she will take care of you, and stay with you even after the moving van drops that last box in your garage.

Connie is the best partner I could have asked for on my home-buying journey! She's dedicated and knowledgeable, with a warm and wonderful personality. She genuinely cares for her clients, always putting you first. Connie helped me find just the right home, so I don't think I'll need a realtor again anytime soon, but if I did I'd choose to work with her again - no question!

The idea of moving to a new home was appealing, the idea of selling our home of 23+ years was overwhelming. Where to start??? Connie guided us through every task and decision needed to get through and was the voice of calm, reason and vision needed for the desired and attained outcome. Besides the high level of her knowledge and expertise, Connie was a pure delight to spend time with. You cannot go wrong with Connie Byers as your realtor!

As my wife and I entered into our retirement years, we decided to move into the RVA area to be close to family, particularly our Grandchildren. When local friends discovered our plans, they quickly put us in touch with Connie Byers (Joyner Fine Properties). It did not take long for us to pull Connie into our endeavors for a retirement home in the RVA area. Connie provided exceptional and invaluable insight into the Realtor and Real Estate industry in this area. She provided consistent communication and set up tours of many properties meeting our retirement needs. Our initial attempts were not leading to a successful purchase, so Connie recommended the possibility of finding a builder to construct our new retirement house to our desired plans. She not only provided us with a reputable builder but also a neighborhood where we could build a new home. Throughout this extended process, Connie provided us with consistent communications on the progress of our new home up through the completion, closing, and move in time periods. Her insight was exceptional and identified significant items we might have overlooked throughout the journey. We are pleased to have developed a close friendship with Connie and consider her and her family to be an anchor for us in our new community. We enthusiastically and whole heartedly recommend Connie Byers to anyone seeking a home or property in the RVA community. In our opinion, there is none better.

It is a privilege having Connie as my Realtor! During the process of selling my home, she worked tirelessly, enthusiastically, and determinedly to achieve successful outcomes for me and my family. Her level of expertise and genuine care for her clients is exceptional! I look forward to working with Connie to secure our new residence!

Working with Connie to sell my house was amazing! Everything was positive. Connie is knowledgeable with everything that pertains to real estate, a real professional. This is a calling for her and not just a job. She is a great communicator and doesn't drop the ball on anything. Without her guidance I would have been lost. It was a wonderful experience working with Connie. I highly recommend her.

We recently sold our home and Connie was our realtor. It sold within 2 days of going on the market. I am convinced it sold so quickly because of Connie. She coached us on how to stage our house and was very involved in the whole process. The best thing about Connie is her positive, sweet manner, looking out for the interests of her clients. If anyone asked who I would recommend as a realtor it would always be Connie Byers!

Our house was listed and we had an offer within 48 hours, thanks to Connie! Exceptional customer service, great communicator and attention to details! Would highly recommend Connie!

This past year I was married at age 65! We both had to sell our homes and find a new home together. Fortunately we had Connie to guide and support us through the process and in the important decisions we were making. Thanks to Connie’s marketing strategy we both had quick sales of our homes! We found the perfect home to start our new life together. A home is one of the most important decisions in your life and having a professional that you trust to help you navigate the many twists and turns in a real estate transaction is a gift. Connie is smart, creative, energetic, caring and fun! She does a great job building a team of professionals that can provide guidance and help when questions and issues arise. Connie loves her work and she loves people and I wouldn’t consider another real estate transaction without her! Beth & Phil Marriott

Connie helped our family buying and selling our home. She was a wonderful realtor and went above and beyond to help us negotiate a wonderful sale. She was knowledgeable about the market and also helped connect us with people to make repairs on the home we were selling. We have bought several homes in the past and no realtor has given us the level of service Connie showed our family. She is a forever friend who made this entire process seamless. We would recommend to her to anyone buying or selling a home.

We had not sold a house since 1984 and forgot what we were headed for. Our son recommended Connie with the recommendation of a fellow employee. This was the best thing that could have happened to us. Connie came in with a sellers guide and a plan that was very professional. The best we could, we followed her plan of getting the house and removal of our personal property done. We received a contract for the house on the second day on the market. We feel she went beyond her responsibility to help us follow through with the large and small requirements to ready the house for sale. We would highly recommend Connie as a agent who becomes a part of your life. Ed and Kathleen Seward

We sold our home recently and were very fortunate to have Connie as our realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional as well as a kind and understanding individual. She got our home on the market quickly and provided outstanding promotional materials. Our home sold in one month. We always felt confident that Connie was representing our best interests. We have bought and sold several homes and she is absolutely the best realtor we have worked with. We recommend her highly.

When my husband and I decided to move to the Richmond area I asked our daughter if she could recommend a realtor to us. She knew Connie on a personal level and gave us her name. What a double blessing it turned out to be! Connie provided excellent service to us as our realtor always looking out for our best interest and listened well to what we were looking for...could not have been more helpful or professional. The second blessing is that we have a forever friend!

I am happy to give Connie Byers a five star rating! Connie was recommended to me by my sister and brother- in- law who also had a wonderful experience with Connie as their real estate agent. Connie went the extra mile in everything she did while helping me to find the perfect home in Richmond. Connie was easy to work with friendly and thoughtful as she helped me search all the different areas of Richmond I was interested in. Connie is a knowledgeable and professional agent who knows the real estate business well. After we found the perfect home for me Connie continued to go the extra mile and even came to my closing. I highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a home you will not be disappointed.

Working with Connie was a joy! Connie is very professional and advocates strongly for her clients. You can trust her to look out for your best interests and operate in an ethical manner as she is a woman of integrity! She kept us level-headed when we were ready to walk-away from a difficult buyer. She supported us through the entire process and was very encouraging. Connie knows the real estate market well and walked us through every step of both buying our new house and selling our old house. She even met contractors at our house when we needed work done but were not able to be there. You can rely on Connie to work hard for you and to be responsive to your questions or concerns and to make the sale happen!

Connie was a joy to work with! As a young first-time home buyer coming from out of town I was definitely skeptical about finding a great place to live. Connie was so encouraging and responsive during the whole process. Working with her made the whole process simple and enjoyable!

We recently made the decision to move back to Richmond after living out of state for almost a decade. Although we felt like we knew the area a lot has changed over the past 10 years. We immediately turned to Connie to help us navigate the RVA market that she knows so well. She carefully considered the needs and desires of our family and was able to gently and effectively guide us in our decision making. Her wisdom and insight with the negotiation process resulted in us getting a home that is perfect for our family. Thank you Connie!

Connie did an excellent job for us while holding the listing on our real estate. She showed us continual patience and kindness yet always maintaining a high level of professionalism. Connie was very dedicated to our needs always responded quickly and successfully negotiated an equitable sale of our real estate. We WILL use Connie again without hesitation for our future real estate needs.

We cannot possibly speak more highly of a realtor than Connie Byers! Her professionalism, attention to detail, encouragement, and literally doing everything she could do to get our house sold made her stand out far and above anyone we have ever dealt with. She did a great job finding a house for us as well in a market that had very little inventory. I can honestly say I would never consider using anyone else. So grateful for the work she did for us!

My wife and I decided to list our building lot with Connie about 18 months ago knowing that it may take a while to sell the property. It was a tough market when the lot went to market but Connie had a steady stream of buyers interested in purchasing the property. Though we came close to a deal a couple of times before we had success this past summer Connie never wavered in her confidence that the lot would sell for near the price where it was listed. Market and sales information was provided before we listed the land and continued to be presented throughout the listing period keeping us informed of comps that were selling along the way. She gave us great advice and was always positive. Communication was fantastic keeping us informed all the way through the listing offers contract and closing processes. We can't recommend her enough! You will be highly satisfied and likely pick up a new friend along the way!

We were making a move to Richmond from New Mexico for work and were put in touch with Connie through the relocation services division. Connie was always super responsive to our questions and extremely helpful and proactive in keeping things on track. She is a delightful person to work with and spend time with. We made our first friend in the Richmond area by working with Connie. Highly recommend!

When I think about realtors I think of someone I need to use but would rather not. They can be expensive and it usually has been someone else who sells our house and we end up finding the new house on our own. We have bought and sold several houses though the years and have had good and bad realtors but we have never had someone like Connie. She has an eye for what sells and what will make your house look good. Connie gave us a few pointers on what would make our house more appealing and confirmed other things that we were looking to already do. She brought in a professional photographer who made our house look better than we have ever seen it. The pictures brought the buyer in right before they put an offer on another house. Our house sold in three days. The most important thing for us was her knowledge. She is not your average realtor that does this on the side to make a few extra bucks. She is well studied on all the latest issues. This became very important when we purchased our new home and the septic system became an issue. Connie added the right things with the right words to the contract so we were covered when there were questions on what the current owner needed to do. We would and have recommend Connie for anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house. She listens gives the right amount of input is very honest and works for you. She gets 5 stars.

Working with Connie was not only a pleasant experience; it was quite the privilege. I have never worked with a realtor that I felt cared about us in the way Connie did. For Connie this is so much more than just a job and you are so much more than just a client. That being said she truly cares about her clients and their needs. She takes time to listen and does her best to help find what you want and what you need. I have also never worked with a realtor that had the wealth of information Connie has. Honestly I'm not sure which was the bigger blessing. Connie has this amazing way of anticipating needs when it comes to selling and to buying. She knows the laws and the expectations in her field and moves with precision and speed when something needs to be done. We had quite a few things that needed to be repaired when selling our home. Connie had connections in every area that were dependable and honest. Frequently when a need arose she had reached out to her people before I even knew what kind of repair person needed to be contacted for the job! Two years prior we had attempted to sell our house. We felt as if we were fish out of water with no help or direction from our other realtor. With Connie we felt confident every step of the way. She was there she was always accessible and she gave us a plan. Even when I was overwhelmed with the amount of repair work we needed to have done I KNEW that at no point were we alone. Connie literally held our hands as we navigated each step of the way. When it was time to buy our new house Connie knew exactly what to look for. She knew to ask questions about things we had no clue to ask about. When we thanked her for being so knowledgeable her reply to us was "it's my job to know what you don't know." She once again held our hands and navigated the murky waters for us. I honestly don't know how we would have survived the stressful process of selling and buying (all while I was pregnant) without the kindness, patience, knowledge, and go-getter attitude of Connie. As if that wasn't enough to ask for she always did it with joy and a smile on her face. If we ever decide to sell our house and buy another there is no question in our minds that Connie is the lady we would use.

Connie was the consummate professional in helping us sell our home. She developed a sale plan along with comparables to help us price the home. Her communication was excellent following up with each broker who showed the home to get feedback. Our home was several hours away and Connie offered to do a lot of the leg work for us meeting contractors at the house and even offering to do some research at the county building when some legal questions had come up. She also helped arrange all the necessary inspections before closing. This was very helpful with me being so far away. Connie was very easy to work with. She will go the extra effort to help with anything she can. I highly recommend her.

We were referred to Connie Byers at Joyner Fine Properties by our realty agency in New York during our hunt for a home in the Richmond area. Connie responded immediately to our phone calls texts and emails and started an extensive search for the right property that would fit our needs. She listened to our comments about what we wanted in an area house and pricepoint and immediately communicated potential properties. The continuous online MLS listings that she sent were so helpful even before we made our way south to Virginia. Those listings clearly were selected with our parameters and guidelines in mind yet gave us further ideas that we hadn't even thought of. We always felt that Connie was extremely organized and professional in every way and when we finally met her discovered what a wonderful person she was as well! She exceeded our expectations in a realtor and made the whole process of finding and buying a new house a great experience. We certainly were very fortunate to work with a realtor who was as knowledgeable experienced and caring as Connie and who found the perfect house for us.

Connie was recommended to us by a close friend. Working with Connie has been one of the best decisions we ever made. Her experience and knowledge are a true asset. She was always on top of everything and gave us great advice. Experience and knowledge aside not only is she a great real estate agent...she is a kind and caring person. We always felt she had our greatest interests as her top priority. I would highly recommend Connie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. She is top notch!

Connie was a delight to work with! She expertly guided me through every step of the selling/buying process educating me along the way. She was always available. I HIGHLY recommend Connie Byers as a realtor!

Connie is a fantastic realtor! Working with her was a wonderful experience. She helped us purchase our new home as well as sell our old one. When we were purchasing she listened carefully to what we were looking for- and even when I was willing to settle for less she pulled out her list and reminded me why I had told her those features were important to us. I felt like she was our advocate in the entire process. She always had our best interests at heart and was available whenever we reached out to her. It took us 6 months to find our new home and she never made me feel rushed or bad about all the time she spent with us. When we were selling she went through my home to help me "stage" it to appear attractive to potential buyers. She gave us excellent pricing advice and we sold it on the first day! She thoroughly understood the financial aspects of the deals and connected me with great workmen inspectors and vendors. Honestly if I didn't love my new house so much I'd do it again just to get to spend so much time with such a caring smart sincere and fun person!

Connie Byers educated us and held our hands and hearts through the process of selling our home of 33 years. She was always available to us through phone email. texts and physical visits whenever we had questions. Her experience during inspections and repairs was invaluable. Connie focused on getting us our asking price -- and she did. We could not have asked for more.

Connie is a delight in every way! So positive so reassuring through the stresses of home buying and selling. We always knew we were in good hands throughout the whole process. Connie has a vested interest in every client and takes your home buying and selling journey as personally as you do. She problem solves quickly and is constantly negotiating on your behalf and looking out for your best interests. It is wonderful to know you have her on your side!

From the beginning Connie sat down with us and gave us the lowdown of everything that was going to take place what steps needed to be taken and what each other's roles were. She even made us a book and checklists to help us along the way! Through the easy parts and the parts that seemed to take a little more doing we found ourselves more prepared and appreciated her willingness to get answers to our questions as soon as possible. We've never purchased a home before but Connie made us feel secure in the decisions we wanted to make and confident in buying a home. Purchasing a new property had its pros and cons and whenever we had an issue she stepped up and worked hard on our behalf to get things straight. Whenever we needed an update on things she got things moving along. In the end we ended up going past our closing date something we felt was difficult to process at the time. She worked even harder to make sure our side of the agreement was meant and a few days later got to closing. It would have been a lot more stressful but Connie stood by us the whole way and was always a phone call away. We're glad we went with Connie and on our next purchase it's safe to say we will use her again!

Connie Byers was a godsend to us from the time I first talked to her from Moscow, Idaho about helping us find a rental house in Richmond to well after the closing on the house we purchased eight months after our arrival here. From day one she went above and beyond what we might have expected from any realtor much less one we'd never even met. Even though rentals were not what she normally focused her efforts on she worked diligently to coordinate viewings with our son and then after we finally found the right place helped us when we had a few glitches with the rental portion of her company. When it came time to look for a home to purchase she directed us to a great mortgage company graciously advised us about the pros and cons of various homes and neighborhoods and coached us on the best approach to making an offer when other offers were also in the works. Her advice to write a letter to the owner explaining why their home would wonderfully meet our needs clinched the deal for us even though other offers were higher than ours. She walked us through the maze of paperwork involved with the finalization of the sale came to the meeting with the lawyer on the day of the closing and brought us a wonderful home-cooked meal the first day we moved into our new home. After we had moved in and experienced some plumbing and HVAC issues she helped us when the home warranty company was not handling the claim appropriately. And when we told her we wanted to add a deck to our home she directed us to several contractors with fine reputations we could trust. Connie Byers is the most competent realtor we have ever dealt with and on top of that she's really nice! We are already suggesting her to friends even though we've lived in Richmond for less than a year. She's a gem and a blessing. Bill and Nancy Payne

When we decided to move back to VA we were so fortunate to be connected with Connie Byers through a realtors referral network. From the first introductory phone conversation we instantly felt a great sense of confidence in her abilities. She took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for and what features were important to us for our lifestyle. Connie is the epitome of a professional and her knowledge of the Richmond real estate market was clearly evident from our first interaction. Her warmth and charm were an added bonus that definitely made the process so much more enjoyable. She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home! The process was a long one for us since we had a home to sell in NJ before we could move but Connie was literally by our side the entire time -- from the first home we viewed through the last signature at settlement! We always felt strongly that she was our advocate and it was such a comforting feeling to know we had her in our corner! She was easily accessible through phone email and text and that was sincerely appreciated especially being from out-of-state. It is clear that Connie enjoys her work and truly wants her clients to be happy. We highly recommend Connie Byers!

We recently purchased our beautiful home with the indispensable help of our agent Connie Byers. Connie is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail and forethought throughout the entire process was exceptional. The purchase of this home was not a typical process. Her diligent work in spite of obstacles resulted in an excellent outcome. We highly recommend Connie for this most important endeavor of the purchase of a home. She will represent your interests to the fullest. From the beginning to the end when she handed us the keys she exhibited impeccable ability. She watched over every detail and executed every needed task with professionalism grace and commitment. We can't thank you enough Connie for all that you have worked hard to accomplish on our behalf. With best regards Harry and Karen Rosmarin

Connie was very easy to work with and helped me understand all the ins and outs of buying a home. I am sorry that I didn't choose her for my selling agent. She has been keeping in touch with me since I moved in and has even taken me out to lunch. When the day comes I will look forward to working with her on selling my house.

Connie Byers was/is the best agent I have ever worked with. Absolutely couldn't have asked for better more professional more considerate help in any way. She worked with us thru good times and bad and never let us become discouraged (the house we were flipping in this instance had unique issues). I will recommend her without reservation at every opportunity

Connie handled the sale of our home without a hitch. Everything went smoothly and at the time decided upon. It couldn't have gone better!

Our buyer's agent Connie Byers was a joy to work with. She was consistently knowledgeable friendly and accessible. She offered great advice but always left the final choice up to us---we felt that she put us in a wonderful position to make good choices. Although she was our agent we also saw her as a friend which made our experience together even richer. We could not be more pleased with the outcome of our time together: our purchase of a beautiful new home that fits our needs and wishes at a good price. Connie helped us to make a good investment that will serve our family well going forward.

My husband and I were Trustees of an Estate and had an historic home in Richmond to sell. Connie Byers represented us and was absolutely a gift from the Lord. She went way above the sale of the home to finding people to handle the one hundred plus years of furnishings and clutter overseeing a host of situations that arose and giving us us a wonderful outcome. We would recommend Connie to anyone looking for a Realtor of integrity with a commitment to excellence. She is just tops!

Connie is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She's thorough and goes the extra mile. She makes you feel like you are her only client. I would recommend her to anybody.

It was my wonderful luck to meet Connie Byers and have her assist me with my house search in Virginia. I am a recent widow and decided to join my family who live in the Midlothian area relocating from New Jersey. Connie was sensitive not only to my very specific real estate requirements but also to the difficult emotional situation I was in. She helped me find the perfect house and guided me through the entire process. Her professionalism market knowledge kindness and friendship made this transition a smooth and pleasant experience.
