John C - Richmond, VA: 2026-08-19

did quite a bit of homework prior to making a move halfway across the country to a place where I didn’t know a soul. Of course this included researching who might be an appropriate realtor. Based on my internet knowledge I knew that I picked someone who was going to be an above average realtor at the very least. But what I actually got was beyond any reasonable expectation. Steve Davis’s cheerful disposition disguises an exemplary professionalism. As a Richmond native, his accumulation of knowledge of the area includes deep historical perspectives relative to the individual neighborhoods. His attentiveness to wants, must haves and concerns was always evident, clear and direct. I was shown properties I thought I wanted as well as alternatives that I had barely considered. Every showing included pros and cons. His explanation of a 90% rule was a great practical asset that became personal to me. We literally spent nearly a year working together because I contracted on a to-be-built (one of the alternative showings!). He met with me with each month when I visited to assess the progress and he assisted with several matters that came up as part of the buying process and construction of my new home. My next to favorite day on this long and fortunate journey to Richmond was meeting Steve at my new home with my keys on moving day. I didn’t know until later that my favorite day would be when I realized how fortunate I was to have met Steve at his office and used him as my realtor.

A properly glowing review for Steve would simply be too long to post here. Beyond knowing the Greater Richmond area inside and out, he is a true advisor who deeply cared about understanding what my husband and I were looking for for our first home. He was extremely patient with our wide spectrum of questions (from naive and neurotic!), and did an amazing job of curating potential homes. When we found “the one”, he was both a vocal advocate and supportive cheerleader helping us throughout the process, and worked hard to ensure we were getting the utmost value from all parties. I’m so grateful for Steve’s expertise, and am so happy to now call him a friend.

When our son and his husband decided to make the move to the Richmond area, I knew they should find a realtor that would understand them and their needs. They were moving from Florida where the social and political climate has become less friendly to the LGBT community. So when looking for a realtor, we searched for “LGBT friendly realtor.” A few sites popped up and Steve Davis with River Fox Realty appeared on them. When I went to his agency site, I was pleasantly surprised to see that all the associates had gender pronouns listed with their descriptions. This put me immediately at ease with our choice. I sent an email, he responded quickly and we set up a call. After the call, Steve sent a link to a portal that had been set up with the criteria we wanted in the ideal house and also in the Richmond areas we were interested in. Since we were out of state, and “for sale" can quickly change to “pending sale," we toured virtually. We scheduled three tours but figured we would do more as needed. Turns out the first tour we did was perfect for my son and his husband! After we came to an agreement, Steve helped us set up an inspection, and then helped connect us with a company to verify the minor repair costs. We closed on the property and my son and his husband are planning their move in a few weeks. Thank you, Steve! Update: 2 1/2 years later, we are still in touch with Steve. If there is a home service we need a reference for, Steve has some recommendations. We love that he hasn't been a realtor just for the home purchase but instead has become a trusted friend and resource.

Steve was an amazing realtor from start to finish! As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and needed plenty of guidance, and he was patient every step of the way. He was always responsive, listened carefully to what we were looking for, and never wasted our time showing us homes that didn’t fit our needs or budget. What we appreciated most was that Steve was never pushy. He gave honest advice, respected our decisions, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Buying your first home can be overwhelming, but Steve made it an enjoyable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

We were new to Richmond when Steve started showing us potential new homes. We immediately knew we were in good hands. He gave us the grand tour of the area and helped us narrow down neighborhoods and homes with empathy and good humor. He was by our side every step of the way, sharing his finely tuned expertise about the market and the buying process. As an added bonus, he is a pleasure to spend time with!
