We’re Mark and Lisa
If you’ve found your way here, welcome.
We’re Mark and Lisa Adams. We love homes – living in them, working on them, changing them and occasionally starting projects that turn out to be a whole lot bigger than we expected.
We love our dogs and cats, spending time outside, working in the yard, exploring Richmond and the surrounding communities, traveling when we can, and finding ways to make the place we live feel more like home.
Oh, and we also happen to be Realtors.
For more than 27 years, we’ve helped people buy and sell homes throughout Central Virginia. So houses are a pretty big part of both our personal and professional lives, and there’s rarely a shortage of things for us to talk about.
That’s why we decided to start this blog.
