I help people buy and sell houses and other real estate because I believe the place you live has an immeasurable impact on your quality of life.
I especially love old houses. When I moved to Richmond 30 years ago, I moved right to the Museum District and soon to the Fan where I have lived ever since. I particularly love the people and vibe in the city and all the amazing things to do in this beautiful and accessible place. Richmond has more intact historic neighborhoods than most cities in the country and I love introducing people to them all. I am involved in historic preservation, several museums, the SPCA, and women’s clubs in Richmond. I have also renovated 5 historic homes including a State Tax Credit project, so I bring valuable experience to buyers looking to live in the more historic areas of Richmond.
For buyers: I listen closely to your must-haves in a house and a community, and the reasons WHY behind them. Sometimes there are solutions beyond the apparent. We work together to make sure you don’t miss anything in the market, and you don’t pay too much for the house you choose.
For sellers: I want to work toward fulfilling all your needs, including price, timing and anything that will make the transition go smoothly for you. And we want to make your home the most attractive it can be to the widest group of home buyers. Our team has many helpful resources from our years of experience in real estate to help you navigate the process of selling a home for its best value.
Once a contract is secured, communication and problem-solving skills are key to a successful transaction. You will never be passed to a transaction coordinator. I work hard for my clients and see the sale through myself until closing. When you work with The Davenport Team, you are always cared for by three real estate professionals.

Testimonials
William and Alletta T.
"Coleen is the best. First she helped us find a new place—exactly what we wanted and where we wanted. Then she helped up prepare our house for sale, then got us our price. Coleen knows the market and the process, anticipates her clients' needs, and has the resources and talent to meet them. Working with Coleen was an all-together win!

"Coleen Rodriguez was outstanding in her help to sell my home. Coleen’s knowledge of historic properties helped her market features about my condo with first class advertising. She supported me in every step of offering my property for sale – from furniture disposal, recommending contractors, and negotiating for an above listing price contract. She is a treasure.
Heather P.
I’m 100% sure that I ended up with the right house because I worked with Coleen. The market is crazy and with all of the competition for houses, it’s critical to have someone who knows what makes sense and what is just crazy. Coleen not only had extensive knowledge about the homes that I looked at and all the neighborhoods of Richmond, she was a cool head during a tough buyers market.
Don B.
"Coleen sold my house this summer when my wife died unexpectedly, leaving me with a large century-old home and no relative within hundreds of miles. Coleen engaged a painter, stager, cleaner, and mover, and found a temporary apartment for me. She and her twin sons even moved furniture. When the house was ready, we had an offer in the first day for over asking price. I really appreciate her hard work and professionalism through it all."
Fred and Sharon N.
"I am so thankful for all Coleen's help with the purchase of our new home. Relocating to an unfamiliar area with no pre-existing business or personal relationships has been tricky. I could not have asked for a better realtor to assist us with the process. Her guidance with helping us find a home in The Fan. We could not have done it without her."
