I highly recommend Sasha and team to anyone buying or selling a home in the Charlottesville area. Sasha, Madison, and Ann helped us sell our home quickly, and their customer service went above and beyond. Ann even coordinated the shipment of a heavy belonging we left behind by mistake.
Communication was detailed, and each team member's role was clear. The team helped us navigate a stressful and quick move across the country. We couldn't have done it without them!

Our experience with Story House was wonderful from start to finish. We were on a very fast time line, and Sasha and Madison were extremely responsive right out of the gate. Whenever we had a question, it was answered right away. The whole team did a great job of helping each other out to make sure our needs were met, and that we weren't left waiting. At one point, when the market didn't seem to be responding, Sasha spent a great deal of time walking us through the various options and helping us decide next steps. When she learned that it was Anna's birthday that day, she sent a lovely arrangement of flowers. Two days later, we got an offer! Ann was also very supportive, helpful, and responsive as we moved from contract to closing. I can't say enough good things about how Story House made a very stressful process less daunting. In addition, all of the service providers they recommended to us were outstanding. I would recommend Story House to anyone looking for real estate support, without hesitation.

Looking for the best real estate firm in the nation? Look no further! Josh White of Sasha's team, did incredible work for us to get us to the end game on purchasing our new home! There were many unusual twists and turns on the journey and it often felt like a roller coaster ride of circumstances beyond his control. But Josh - - - he never gave up and continued to advocate for us through every step.
Everything about Josh is top notch but his communication is outstanding! He kept us so informed and answers questions in just minutes.
And, the entire team behind the scenes did a tremendous job in the process as well. We have "gone through" many realtors in the past but we have found the needle in the haystack with Story House Realty and we're not going to let go! Thank you, Sasha Tripp and your fantastic team!

Sasha and Madison, the listing team, were able to sell my condo quickly and smoothly. Madison suggested several ways I could present the condo so it would look great in photos.
Ann coordinated the transaction and was great.
The whole team was very professional and they were wonderful at communication. They eased my mind when needed and were honest concerning the process. In Spring of 2022, a sellers market, Sasha and her team worked diligently to get me the best offer.
I would not hesitate to use there services again.

Do yourself a favor: hire Sasha and her Story House team; they know what they are doing. We had several recommendations for realtors to list our house, but selected Story House based on the positive experiences of two former coworkers. Story House had our home under contract in 3 days with a quick-closing cash offer significantly greater than our asking price. The preparation, listing, marketing and sale of our house was a complete package. Madison walked us through the entire process with attention to every detail and addressal of our questions and concerns. The advice she provided with regards to what required attention and what did not, saved us a lot of time and effort in getting ready for listing. We needed to have some painting and yard work done in preparation for marketing which we intended to do ourselves but ran out of time. Madison recommended painters who could respond quickly - the same with lawn service. We could not have found these services able to respond quickly without the help of Story House. Ann arranged the appropriate inspections and pre-closing services, again, on short notice. We would have experienced delays and major stress finding the help we needed to get this house sold on our timeline if not for the team at Story House. They made the entire process from preparation to closing as easy as it possibly could have been - absolutely no surprises. They keep in touch and communicate well. We were completely satisfied and highly recommend Story House.

Sasha Tripp and her talented team breezed through the sale of our condo and negotiated a cash price well over the list price. Everything went so smoothly from listing and marketing all the way through to closing.

Sasha’s team of Professionals completed a relatively simple transaction that sadly became a unique one. Her team was able to guide me through completing the sale of my Mom’s home, after she passed away 2 days before the sale was ratified. Madison and Ann were by my side through the entirety of navigating the legal process needed to make the sale final. They were in constant contact to offer suggestions, leadership, and assurance we would clear all obstacles. They are all “ROCKSTARS”. I consider them friends for life. Call them you won’t be disappointed.

Sasha and team were absolutely fantastic! It was such a great experience working with them to sell my condo. This was the first time I was selling a property and it was a relatively quick turnaround to get it on the market before the holiday season was upon us.
Madison set us up with great market information and how best to prepare for listing. She coordinated the cleaning and photography for me since I was no longer local to the area.
Because of the marketing efforts we had a tremendous response with showings and offers. The pricing strategy they suggested worked so well, and my property sold for more than originally thought.
There were some complications that needed to be addressed on the property as we were going through showings and the offer process. This team was so on-the-ball in making sure I knew what was going on, that things were getting fixed and communicating with vendors, property management and all interested parties. It certainly added some stress to the process, but because of this team it was so much easier to get through.
Ann was super helpful once the offer was accepted in answering all of my questions and getting set up for closing.
They are so professional, at the top of their game, and I will highly recommend them to anyone I know that needs to real estate assistance. It was a pleasure working with them!

Sasha and the whole Story House Real Estate team are truly AMAZING!! It’s been such a pleasure to work with all of them. Everyone is very professional and helpful from the beginning to the end. Thanks to all of you for being so great!! I will happily be using them in the future.

My recommendation of Josh White and Story House Real Estate services is off the charts excellent. I need two more stars to indicate my satisfaction and describe the experience of buying my condo. The seller did not want to use an agent, as they were experienced in buying and selling homes; but I am not experienced (this was only my 3rd) and needed an agent. He came highly recommended to me by my sister-in-law, who worked with Josh Whit to purchase a townhouse condo in the same association. Josh was consistently responsive and always available; he even assisted the seller in many issues, and also worked with the condo association to ensure repairs were done correctly and on time. Josh addressed every possible issue, listed multiple options for resolution, and described pros and cons of each option, with potential consequences of each! By providing all the facts, my decision were easy to make, while he provided full disclosure I am confident future outcomes. Although I was always secure that he put my interests first, he is such a diplomat that the seller and condo association also worked with him. Every potential area in buying this property was addressed, nothing was left out to pop-up after closing.
If I ever sell this condo or purchase another property, I will only go with Josh white. If only Story House's area were nation wide, then I'd be guaranteed he would be able to assist me.

Highly recommend Sasha and her team. They were there for us and exceeded expectations from start to finish on the sale of our home. Sasha knew the market, knew what to and what not to ask for, made recommendations while allowing us to feel comfortable making our own decisions. She handled the negotiations expertly, highlighting the positives and negatives of each offer and telling us what she would do. The marketing was top notch and her team reached out with new ideas as the process unfolded. Once we were under contract, they took care of us all the way to close. The best part was everyone in Story House was always accessible and gave prompt responses. You always felt like they were right there with you because they were.

Good day.
Brentney and Sasha were amazing to work with! My wife and I were making the purchase from Seattle, WA. Being so far away brings its own unique challenges to the purchasing processing. Both Brentney and Sasha didn't let anything slip through the cracks and even had great solutions for our unique situation. They helped with receiving deliveries that we had to ship across the country. They made last minute accommodations to make sure we were able to get into our home on the first night, despite our arrival time changing to late at night.
I would highly recommend Brentney, Sasha and the whole Story House Team to anyone that is in need of real estate services. This was my wife and I's sixth real estate transaction, we have seen both good and bad realtors, Story House Real Estate is without a doubt filled with the former and will exceed your needs and expectations.
Thank you, have a great rest of your day!

This was our first experience with selling a house and Story House Realty gave us the best experience! Sasha and her team Sasha and her team broke down the complex process of selling a house into achievable steps, educating us along the way. We appreciated Sasha's insight and strategy on pricing our house. The team gave helpful advice in navigating the best offer, advocated for us in negotiations and were always available for any questions. We have already recommended Sasha and Story House to friends and will continue to do so.

Errin Searcy and Story House have been a dream to work with through what was a big, out of the box lift. Not only were we located across the country and doing the heavy search in the middle of a pandemic, but we also had a very specific and uncommon property to find in order to relocate home and business. The parameters and specifics that we needed began as a fairly long list and kept getting longer the more we discovered. All this in a market that was low on inventory and continuously decreasing. This process took over one year from initial searches and viewings to the final purchase of what is a perfect property for our needs on all fronts, and a diamond in the very refined rough. Throughout the process Errin was responsive, ceaseless in her attention to our out of the box needs and has an unbelievable work ethic and responsibility to her clients. I don’t know that we could have done this with anyone else; we are grateful to have worked with her. Further, Story House provided personalized touch points throughout the process, which was nice when we felt at many times that we were asking for so much attention and action from a top broker. Story House is our firm recommendation for anyone in the housing market, we will never go with anyone else in the area, and we are forever grateful for Errin and her team’s effort, dedication, and delivery!

Sasha and the Story House Real Estate team were amazing in helping us sell our tenant-occupied apartment in C'ville. We are not local to the area and everything was done by the team. We felt that the team had our best interest during the entire process while ensuring coordination with everyone (the tenants, the buyer, the handymen for repairs, the property management company, the title company, and some others). We highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for real estate needs in their area of operations. We also wish them continued success.

The best part of working with Sasha and the Story House team is that they are people-centered. They listened to us, gave us expert and caring guidance, involved us in all steps of the way, and made the transitions smooth and successful.

I've known Sasha and have always tried to refer business her way for the past ten years. I met Brentney, a buyers agent at Story House the first month she was licensed and we've been friends ever since. I was so happy to finally go from friend to client this year as Brentney helped me purchase a townhouse in Charlottesville. When choosing a real estate agent, I highly recommend a full-time, fully supported brokerage like Story House!

My wife and I recently used Sasha and Storyhouse to sell our home. Her team was super helpful. They answered all our questions and concerns. We put our home on the market on a Thursday night and it was sold the following Monday. We received multiple offers and Sasha was able to negotiate a deal that netted us a significant amount more than what we had originally asked. If you are searching for an realtor I highly recommend Sasha and Storyhouse to sell your home.

I have worked with Errin, Sasha and the Story House team for three transactions now, and each experience has been nothing short of flawless and stress-free. Sasha's market knowledge and strategic expertise, combined with her team's clear and easy follow up make them a dream to work with. At no point was I left confused or wondering what needed to happen next. The Story House team was always a step ahead, explaining each phase of the process in a way that anyone would understand with a level of grace and friendliness you don't find everyday.
It goes without saying that I would recommend Errin, Sasha, and Story House to anyone looking for a world class realtor. You will be signing her praises too. Thanks for everything

Errin (on Sasha's team) was professional and experienced, and in our case, helped us navigate a tricky relationship with the seller's agent who was not very responsive and required above-and-beyond communication attempts. Errin managed to get us the information and security we needed while working with a difficult seller's agent. Excellent transaction, we are so thrilled with our new home. Thanks Errin!!!
