These are my personal photos that I have retained ownership of. They were taken for the previous listing agent who asked me to photograph this property.

Recently, I received this beautiful recommendation from Craig and Zorine Shirley, who purchased Ben Lomond in Essex County, Virginia in the 4th quarter of 2014. It is in the Top 10 of all property sales, in 2014 in the Middle Peninsula Region. I represented the Sellers but have loved getting to know the buyers, Craig and Zorine. They have become cherished friends and are a dynamic couple, who will be amazing stewards of this crown jewel estate on the Upper Middle Peninsula of Virginia. The following is what they have written about me, which means so much on a professional and personal level. This is who I am.
“Karin Andrews is unlike any realtor we’ve ever worked with before. What started out as a professional relationship quickly became a warm friendship. A kind and thoughtful woman, she is a person of remarkable talents who enthralled us with her working knowledge of Ben Lomond and all of Essex County. She is, in the words of the Old South, a truly Great Lady.”
Warmly,
Craig and Zorine Shirley
Come on in the Rappahannock and the Water is fine!
Earlier this month, I represented buyer clients from out of state, in their search for a historic waterfront home that met their needs as a private home they could eventually retire to, while using it as a Vacation Rental By Owner in the meantime. It was my pleasure and honor to assist them in listening to their needs, wants and previewing properties on their behalf. The opportunity to not only meet the needs of my clients but also make new friends is one of the very best parts of my profession. The listing agent also was a joy to work with and offered great cooperation. I am hoping we will have another one coming down the road in the near future.
