Testimonials
"
We cannot praise Cynthia Hash and Find Homes Realty enough. Cynthia listened carefully, always responded promptly, and used her wide circle of contacts (repair resources, photography experts, insurance and finance agents) to help us prepare for and execute the sale of our house. Every aspect of Cynthia's work--her advice, the businesses she deals with, the contracts she prepares--is characterized by complete integrity. Her vast knowledge and experience with real estate in the general Charlottesville area is nearly incredible. It was a privilege, and a very pleasant experience, to work with her.

I am an attorney in the Virginia Beach area and had a number of homes that we needed sold up in Charlottesville from a client's Trust in relatively fast order. We were connected with Cynthia and her team and from the beginning the entire process was a well oiled machine! She helped us stay organized, fix any issues, and get all seven properties sold in no time!! If you are in need of an experienced, thoughtful, and all around professional for a realtor, look no further than Cynthia and her entire team.

We had a challenging selling experience, as we listed in December and needed to be in our new home in March. And we had just one interested buyer so the process was very stressful. Cynthia was a great advocate for us through the whole process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and she remained logical and calm when interacting with us, especially during our most stressful periods. We got through the process successfully and a lot of the credit goes to Cynthia for being there with us and advocating for us from start to finish. We strongly recommend her to anyone selling their home.

When we were confronted with the daunting task of clearing our mom’s house, rennovating it and getting it on the market, my sister & I were lucky to have a friend recommend Cynthia of Find Homes Realty. Cynthia was a tireless advocate on our behalf, a real godsend who consistently went above and beyond with her time, input, and energy. She is trustworthy, knowledgable, rigorous with her research, and she had a recommendation of vendors for any/all house rennovations that we needed to have done. She is a generous spirit who made us feel well very taken care of, every step of the way. Consistently available, a great resource, and a true joy to work with. I can’t recommend her and her team enough.

Dear Cynthia, I can't thank you enough for all you did! You were much more than a Realtor, you were a friend! I am blessed to have you in my life. Someday down the road I hope you will be there when I buy another house. Until then I hope we will stay in close touch.

Cynthia was extremely helpful and respectful in working with our then 18 year old daughter to find an appropriate home for her to live in during her time at UVa. We were able to find the right house and Cynthia helped us with leads on contractors and services that were uniformly excellent in maintaining the property from a distance. We were particularly impressed with Cynthia's attention to detail and willingness to be candid with us, even when it wasn't something we wanted to hear. We recently sold the same property with Cynthia's help and her attention to detail and thorough knowledge of the market and pricing was invaluable. While we are experienced homeowners and have bought and sold several properties over the years, Cynthia made several suggestions during initial pricing and the negotiation process that we are certain saved us thousands of dollars. We were always confident that if Cynthia had read through the paperwork that it was correct and the necessary issues had been addressed. I cannot recommend Cynthia Hash highly enough; should I be blessed to move to Charlottesville someday in the future, she will be one of the first people I call.

Going through the home buying process can be a stressful time. That being said, having a good real estate agent in your corner can make the difference between driving yourself nuts over the little things and moving the process along smoothly. If I had to do it all over again without a second thought I would work with Cynthia Hash again. I always felt like I was Cynthia's number one priority. My house was a new construction and therefore I had numerous meetings with my home builder and loan officer. Cynthia showed up to every single meeting. She even made it to ones she did not have to be at. The entire time we were working together I knew that she was taking care of all my needs. If I ever had a question or was unsure about something she would get back to me right away. I was also a first time buyer when I worked with Cynthia. She took the time to meet with me and answer questions as well as had time to talk on the phone whenever I needed. She walked me through the home buying process gracefully and I could not have asked for a better real estate agent. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

I work with many Realtors and I have to say that most Realtors claim to go above and beyond but I have personally seen Cynthia Hash consistently perform at that high level. Many Realtors talk about being full service, but Cynthia actually "walks the walk" regarding full service. From finding a property to negotiating the contract to the home inspection to closing, you will have one of the best working for you. When she refers a client to me, the 1st thing I do is congratulate them on their choice of Realtor, because I know what is involved in the buying process, the trials and tribulations and I know that Cynthia will be there throughout the process. She works extremely hard to provide a positive, enjoyable and successful transaction and I am thankful to have the opportunity to work with her and to help her clients.

We had the pleasure of working with Cynthia Hash, Principal Broker and Owner of Find Homes Realty, as we explored the possibility of selling our home and visited several properties on the market. From our very first meeting, Cynthia impressed us with her professionalism, deep market knowledge, and honest guidance. She provided a thoughtful evaluation of our home, explained current market trends in a clear way, and guided us through each property visit with patience and care.
In the end, we decided not to move, but Cynthia’s dedication and integrity left a lasting impression. She took the time to understand our goals, answered every question thoroughly, and gave us the information we needed to feel confident in our decision. Even though we didn’t move forward with a sale or purchase, we would not hesitate to recommend Cynthia Hash and Find Homes Realty to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and client-focused real estate professional.

Cynthia was the best! We had a different realtor for a couple months which did not work out. Cynthia was recommended to us by a mutual friend. She met with us at the house and went through everything we needed to do to get it ready to sell. We did all she suggested plus a little more, when it was ready she took over with the listing, the photography and showings and all of this with us leaving on vacation the day after the house went on the market! Within a week the house was under contract. The buyer and realtor were very particular, Cynthia worked with them on a couple issues and was able to get the house sold with everyone satisfied. We would recommend Cynthia to other buyers/sellers and have already done so to a friend. Many thanks to Cynthia and her staff at Find Homes Realty!

Cynthia Hash was a perfect fit for us as we embarked on the journey of selling our home of 18 years. Cynthia's expertise and knowledge in her field are excellent, we moved through the process knowing we had someone we could completely trust. Selling your primary residence is a big deal - being well represented is essential. We could not have found a better realtor/ broker! We would choose Cynthia again, hands down!

Cynthia, words can't describe how blessed I feel to have been connected with you. You are an amazing person and an outstanding Realtor. The whole process of home buying has been easy and fun for me because of your knowledge, attention to detail and countless hours of effort. You are truly in tune with all of your clients and you have their best interest at hand all the time. You even knew things that I wanted before I knew them or realized it. I have so much confidence and trust in you and that is the most comforting feeling to have while going through this process. Thank you for everything you've done for me... from the first phone conversation we had to the closing. Your service radiates Christ's influence and it is refreshing to be around that.

The stress of selling my house was overwhelming. I didn't. have a clue about any of it. When I meet with Cynthia she explained the process to me step by step in detail. She let me know what I needed to do along the way which of course made the process asier. Once I did the things she told me to do to put my house on the market, it sold within three days. I've often let her know how much I've appreciated her and I highly recommend her. I thank GOD for Cynthia!

I found Cynthia during a time in my life that was hard. My mom had to sell her home and I could not ask for a better realtor! She was so warm and supportive throughout the whole process. Her knowledge and resources are excellent. She was able to help me find people to clean out mom’s house. We were able to sell her home in a week and get what we were asking her it. I would definitely recommend her.
