Emily Purdum

Associate Broker/Team Lead

Get to Know Me

I was born and raised in Richmond and am thrilled to have a chance to help my clients navigate this awesome city! Before landing in real estate I spent my career working in hospitality management positions including Restaurants, Theme Parks, and Yacht Clubs. In relocating back to RVA in 2008 I focused on business administration before taking her experiences and knowledge to real estate.
 
What does all of that mean for her clients? She has a lot of experience working with the public! I love to meet and work with new people. I am an experienced problem solver and negotiator. Additionally, I am enthusiastic, professional, and detail-oriented, and have a true passion for helping my clients achieve their goals.
 
Emily graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University and is married to her high school sweetheart. They are currently raising four great kids in RVA! In her spare time, Emily volunteers with the SPCA, her church, and her children's schools, and coaches soccer. She also enjoys spending time outside or just hanging out with family and friends.
 
Whether buying or selling a home in the Richmond area Emily can successfully get you to the closing table!

Thank you Emily!

Emily painstakingly showed our family so many houses during our search and answered every single question quickly and with so much knowledge.

What My Clients Say

Emily and Kim are top notch relators! It takes a special person to help neurotic home buyers such as myself; and they stay cool, calm, and collected throughout the whole process (and every stream of annoying text messages from me!) They always kept our needs and best interest in mind and were not afraid when to tell us we were approaching any slippery slopes. We closed on our home at the peak of this sel...
