The long term relationships and friendships as well as continuous referrals from past clients are how Grier has sustained such a successful and varied career to date.
Grier has happily lived in Charlottesville’s Belmont neighborhood with her husband and two sons for the last 25 years. Grier left New Hampshire to attend UVA and in the process found a new hometown. The city's mix of arts and culture, outdoor adventures, stunning settings, and a lively restaurant scene keep her family busy and energized. Following college, Grier opened a café and a food truck (Liquid). In 2005 she began her real estate career, quickly building a reputation for her diligence, constant communication, terrific area knowledge, and ability to truly listen to and understand the intricate needs of her clients. Grier’s amiable smile and open demeanor set those around her at ease. Her friends know they can always count on her to know the newest and best in town.

09/11/2022 - zuser20141210102841406We lived in this area over a decade ago and needed help finding a new home that would provide a kid friendly neighborhood. Grier was very knowledgable about neighborhoods in and around the area. We had to do the search remotely and she was always up for Facetiming us in on walk throughs which was very helpful. -

08/29/2023 - jenopp0There are a lot of realtors in Charlottesville. But none like Grier. She has an innate sense of both people and property. Her enthusiasm is infectious, yet she is also a keen business person ready and willing to go to bat for her clients to get the right deal. She has her fingertips securely on the local marketplace and knows literally everyone related to the industry. We will continue to recommend her to friends and family as both a buyer and seller's agent, with no hesitation that she will do a great job for each and every one of them. -

In particular, her knowledge of the local market was crucial in the final negotiations. The whole experience was well above my expectations. -

01/25/2023 - KSCvilleI have worked with Grier on a number of real estate projects. She is top shelf! Her knowledge of the process, local quirks in the Cville marketplace, other agents, market forces, etc, is second to none. This last transaction was the sale of my primary home (and was scary as the market was seemingly stalling). Her patience and long-term vision was incredibly reassuring. She was able to shepherd me steadily and ultimately helped me secure an easy sale. Her communication and mannerisms are truly professional. She knows just when to nudge and encourage, and when to have the client lead. I trust her. Ultimately, thats the highest praise...Thanks Grier! -

08/18/2022 - Anthony SpadaforeAs first time buyers and new to Charlottesville, Grier was perfect for us. She performed with grace under pressure in a highly competitive, crazy market. On top of her many years of experience and wisdom from living in the area for a long time, she’s easy to be with and also brings a fair-minded, logical perspective with technical know-how to spot problems with a house. When it came to making smart offers, she knows how to play the game well. Another bonus is her hand-picked, local network of loan officers and closing attorneys, which makes the whole process an enjoyable, low stress endeavor. We landed the perfect house in area we love and couldn’t be happier. My wife and I highly recommend Grier, she’s a true pro. -

08/25/2023 - cwilson661I am so grateful that we found Grier to work with in this tricky market. Grier helped us land our dream home because she fully understands the landscape and players, as well as how to negotiate and when it is worth it to do so. Grier stood above and beyond other realtors as she was dedicated to finding us the RIGHT home for us, not just ANY home for us. She helped bring me back to reality when I got swept up in feeling like I should settle and jump on anything and really grounded me in focusing on what was right for our family. She was thorough in helping us choose the approach that was most likely to land us a home as well as in setting boundaries around how much a home would be worth paying for, etc. Grier cared about us as a family far above making a sale and I am so grateful we found her! -
