Ernie was very professional and helpful. He was realistic about out needs + nice to haves and didn't try and up-sell or push us into anything that we didn't want. His industry knowledge helped us quickly focus our search and avoiding wasting time. His guidance helped us consider options we would have originally rejected, which ultimately led us to purchase something that fit just what we were looking for with confidence. He was very communicative and informative throughout the entire process. We appreciate him walking us through our first time buying a home - it was a breeze!

As first-time home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ernie. We felt in good hands the entire time, and he was always easy to reach for advice or questions.

Ernie knows the area insanely well and gave us lots of helpful insight along the way. He also had great recommendations for everything we needed—legal, mortgage, handyman, local spots, you name it.

Ernie’s guidance on our offer was huge, and we ended up getting a house we honestly didn’t think we could get in our dream location. Look no further, Ernie’s the best!!

I was specifically looking for a realtor with deep roots in Richmond’s culture and experience in Northside, Church Hill, and the East End. Ernie came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated how he navigated the specific quirks of these historic neighborhoods. By the time we put an offer down on my new home in Northside, I felt 100% confident in the process. He was able to negotiate us under list price as well as make sure certain repairs were complete before move-in. I’ll definitely be sending my friends his way!

Ernie is the perfect realtor to have as a first time home buyer. He is so incredibly dedicated and it was evident that he cared about finding our perfect home from the first phone call. He was dedicated, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and made it clear that our happiness/comfort was top priority. Plus he was always available to answer any and all questions we had. We learned so much from working with him.

Even after we found our home, Ernie continued to provide us with resources and contractors to help make our house a home. We will recommend Ernie to anyone buying or selling because we know he will provide an excellent experience!

We are so grateful to have worked with Ernie to find our home this year. Having moved from out of state, he made what could have been a very overwhelming process so much smoother. He visited countless houses to share video walkthroughs, which were invaluable to help us narrow down our search prior to making trips in person. We learned so much from Ernie in the several months working together. He is extremely knowledgeable and always very responsive - we feel very lucky to have had Ernie’s help and guidance every step of the way!

Ernie is the best. Look no further for a realtor to buy or sell your home. I bought and sold the same house with Ernie. When buying he took the time to really understand what I was looking for and helped me find the right home for me. He has extensive knowledge of the Richmond area and the market. I was a first time home buyer and he made me feel really comfortable and at ease. He is very communicative and professional.

I sold the same home after moving across the US. He took what could have been a very stressful and difficult situation and made it easier for me. He went above and beyond and treated my house like it was his own. He coordinated repairs with contractors and helped me get a good deal on some updates my house needed for sale. We sold very quickly and for a great price! I really appreciated his expertise and guidance. I am truly so grateful. Ernie is the right choice if you are looking for a Realtor who is professional, expert in his field, and dedicated to working hard for you.

Working with Ernie was the best decision we made when looking for a home in Richmond! He went above and beyond our expectations. From our very first meeting, we felt like he genuinely cared about finding the perfect fit for our family.

His dedication is unmatched. He was patient, insightful, and always had our best interests at heart. We felt completely supported and informed throughout the entire journey. We are so grateful.

Where do we begin? Responsive, courteous, professional, proactive, and patient. All words that sum Ernie up perfectly. Ernie was our biggest advocate throughout the home building experience. He always went the extra mile, showing up for inspections, walk through, and communicated with the builder to keep the build smooth. There was never a day or time when we couldn’t reach out (and get a response). Building is stressful enough, but it was wonderful knowing Ernie was in our corner.

Trust Ernie with your life- he helped my family find the perfect house for our low budget and then helped sell that house years later for the best profit. He is kind, understanding, patient and realistic. You could not find a better realtor (and person) to work with. I hope to work with him again!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Ernie Chamberlain not once, but twice (buying and selling the same house) —and we can confidently say he’s the real estate agent you want in your corner. From start to finish, Ernie brings a level of professionalism, insight, and genuine care that is truly rare.

In both of our experiences, Ernie was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the market, and completely committed to helping us achieve our goals. He navigated the complexities of the process with ease, always keeping us informed, answering our many questions with patience, and advocating for us every step of the way.

What sets Ernie apart is his honesty, attention to detail, and how much he truly cares about his clients. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to make it happen. Whether you’re buying or selling, Ernie makes the experience smooth, successful, and even enjoyable.

We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Ernie again and recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional in the Richmond area.

Ernie is an absolute pleasure to work with and truly knows Richmond through and through. My family and I recently relocated to the Richmond area so we were unfamiliar with the area and he guided us to the perfect neighborhood and had complete patience with us as we navigated the different areas and opportunities in the city. Beyond the close, he has amazing recommendations and network to help improve your newly purchased home. So glad I found him on Homes.com!

If you’re in the market to buy or sell a home, Ernie Chamberlain is your guy! After living in my home for almost 29 years, Ernie and his GeorgeRVA associates made the process seem seamless. From staging, photos, marketing and above all clear and open communication, the entire process was stress-free. Ernie helped at every turn of this process. There are not enough positive words to say about the entire GeorgeRVA team, especially Meaghan Williams. I highly recommend contacting Ernie Chamberlain for the best experience possible! He even dog sat my pup once! Now that’s extraordinary customer service!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ernie & the George Real Estate Group to sell our home in Richmond, VA, and we cannot recommend him enough! From start to finish, Ernie exceeded all expectations in every possible capacity.

His responsiveness was unparalleled – whether it was answering our questions, providing updates, or addressing any concerns, Ernie was always just a quick call or text away. He truly went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free.

What set Ernie apart is his extreme familiarity with Richmond and the surrounding area. Ernie’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference in achieving a successful sale.

Ernie helped me purchase my first home during 2020. His affable laid back nature was needed as a newbie buyer during a wild time. He was the complete opposite of the agent I worked with prior (which led me to Ernie). I would love to work with him again and would recommend his services to anyone!

Ernie has helped us to both buy and sell properties during some of the most challenging real estate markets (first in 2020 and again in 2024). He is the kind of agent you’re looking for: responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, and engaged. He walked us through every step of the process when buying and, when selling, gave us guidance and advice that resulted in multiple offers within 24 hours and a sales price way (WAY) above asking. Over the years, we’ve reached out to him for recommendations on a whole host of topics - from mortgage brokers to insurance agents to painters and preservation brick layers. His recommendations have always been spot on. If you’re in the market and looking for an agent, I could not recommend him more highly.

Moving can be a stressful time of change, tasks, and uncertainty. It can also be fun if you choose the right people to help you. You want a realtor you can trust to guide you through the process, and Ernie Chamberlain is just that – someone you can trust. Working with him doesn’t feel like working with a salesperson. It feels like working with a trusted adviser or your personal real estate consultant. He knows the market and how to help you navigate the process. He’s direct and has a great sense of humor. I’m very happy with my purchase and feel lucky to have worked with him. I recommend choosing to work with Ernie and let the process be fun.

Ernie will go above and beyond for you. He not only helped us get an offer accepted on our dream house, but he helped us sell our old house. He put on open houses, coordinated multiple contractors to get our house ready (painter, plumber, tile specialist), and even did a bunch of small repairs around the house himself. His dedication and work ethic are unmatched and there's nobody we trust and appreciate more!

We worked with Ernie to find a home in the Richmond after we decided to leave Nashville after 16 years. Ernie was incredibly patient as we started navigating the move (we took our sweet time!). The first or second house Ernie showed us, we walked in and within 5 minutes he turned to us and said "I would tell you not to buy this house". At that point we knew this was who we wanted to work with!

Ernie has a great eye for spotting what makes a house great and what could cost us a lot of money down the road. At one point, we were pretty sold on one house. Ernie encouraged us to keep looking and that we would find something even better. He was right!

We started out looking for a house we could be in for 5-7 years. Ernie helped us purchase a house we see ourselves being in a lot longer than that. He was great to work with, even from 500 miles away!

Ernie was an exceptional real estate agent to work with as I bought my first house. He was responsive to my many questions as a first-time home buyer and really took the time to help me hone in on my neighborhood and eventual perfect new home.

Ernie was an exceptional asset in selling and purchasing our homes. He made the selling process so easy and helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. Also, he has a wealth of knowledge that he brought to the table as well when my wife and I were buying and customizing our dream home. From start to finish, we felt Ernie and his team went above and beyond to ensure success in both buying and selling our homes. I would suggest him to anyone who is diving into any real estate endeavors.

Ernie was my realtor for the purchase of my new home and I could not be more thrilled with his services. The whole process went so smoothly from putting in an offer to closing. I ended up purchasing an “as is” property that needed a little bit of work and he made sure I fully understood what that would entail. He also went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared for the work ahead of me. He was always available to answer any questions I had and was in constant contact throughout the whole process. I love the home I purchased and he made what could have been a very daunting experience an incredibly rewarding one.

Ernie is a real estate guru. Helped me as a first-time homebuyer with everything in the process and educated me every step of the way. I’m much more confident now that I have my first home secured and even feel ready to get into real estate investing. He never pressured me into buying (and even kept me from buying cash-pits). The man had a heart of a teacher, not a salesman. If you want an agent you can trust, Ernie’s your guy!

This review really should be 15 stars because at this point, I have worked with Ernie three times over the last year, and each and every time, he just knocks it out of the park. Simply put, Ernie is THE BEST. His knowledge, drive, organization, and communication skills are everything you could want in a Realtor, if not more. He helped me sell a townhome and a single-family home significantly above asking, and he also represented my husband and me as buyers in our new home. His input has been invaluable and helped us as buyers and sellers. Thank you, Ernie!

I truly do not think I would have found the perfect home if I hadn't worked with Ernie. His knowledge of both the Richmond area and programs in Richmond that support affordable housing helped me find a beautiful home within the city.

Working with Ernie was a critical reason we were able to find and secure our home in an extremely competitive housing market. His sharp negotiation skills resulted in securing an excellent deal on our new home, and we are confident we wouldn't have achieved the same outcome without his expertise. From our first meeting, it was evident that Ernie possessed an exceptional understanding of the local housing market. His in-depth knowledge of the area, including current trends, pricing dynamics, and neighborhood characteristics, was remarkable. Ernie guided us through the entire complex home buying process with a level of thoroughness, offering critical insights and data driven advice at every step. If you are looking for a real estate professional who will go the extra mile to help you achieve your home goals, I will continue to wholeheartedly recommend Ernie Chamberlain with George RVA.

Ernie is amazing. The guy really cares about those of low income / first time
Home buyers and help me and my partner find an absolutely unreal home. His communication, even after closing, was extremely professional and timely. His knowledge of the market as well as what to look for in a home was top notch. I felt extremely confident with every home we visited that he was truly doing everything he could for us. Even at the first home we visited, he was on his hands and knee digging throw the leaves to check out the crawl space. A home, mind you we were definitely not putting an offer on. My only regret with Ernie is I wish our house hunting took a little longer because he was such a cool dude and I wish we could have gotten to know each other better.

Intially, my husband and I weren't certain we wanted to put roots down in Richmond, but after meeting Ernie, that all changed. We liked Ernie so much, we really wanted it to be him who sold us our first home. We knew we could trust him to guide us through the process seamlessly, which he did, and help us snag the perfect house on top of it.
Not only is Ernie incredibly likable and a joy to be around, but he is as equally intelligent, knowledgeable, talented beyond measure is his field, quick to respond, a great negotiator, and a gentleman who truly cares about his clients. You can rest assured you're in the best hands with him.
Lots of love and gratitude to you, Ernie, we will be lifelong clients!

Ernie is fantastic at helping people and families find their new home. Ernie first helped us move across the country from Texas to Virginia in early 2021. Ernie was extremely flexible with the showings and was able to do everything with virtual tours, since we were in Texas. Most recently, we have been exploring new houses again and Ernie has been very helpful as we navigate the current housing market. Ernie is extremely knowledgeable and can provide home buyers with excellent resources to aid during the process and help with any projects after you own the home.
