A Brief History of
One South

one_south-logo
Opened in 2008 by a group of like-minded agents who sought a new way, One South grew quickly from the original ‘Gang of 5’ to over 100 agents and staff operating in multiple markets.
By continually focusing on the metrics that matter, One South has consistently outperformed the market with faster marketing times, higher seller yields, and better pricing.

One South is a mixed-use brokerage, combining both residential and commercial services.

Market Snapshot

one_south-logo
Numbers matter and no one takes this more seriously than we do.
 
At One South, we follow the market and the most important metrics so that our clients make the most informed decision possible.

MARKET AT A GLANCE

Central Virginia Region

Informed clients make better decisions. Understanding how to use the power of information to help our clients is at the core of One South’s team approach.

BIDDING WARS

Central Virginia Region

At One South, we track each individual region’s market balance so that we can help our clients make informed decisions – especially in regions where homes have higher tendencies to receive multiple offers.
 
Our Bidding Wars chart tracks not just the number of homes that sell above, at, or below their asking price, but it also tracks the distribution of those offers.

INVENTORY

Central Virginia Region

Inventory levels continue to be problematic for our region.
 
The supply of housing is approaching crisis levels at the entry price points where construction costs prevent new supply from being added.

FEATURED LENDER

Maddy Armstrong

Southern Trust Mortgage

My name is Maddy, and I am a licensed loan originator with Southern Trust. Knowing that I loved the real estate industry, I decided to get my license to be a loan originator immediately following graduation in May of 2012. I love being able to help individuals and families on their journey to homeownership.


I am proud to specialize in many home loan programs including first-time homebuyers like VHDA, as well as FHA, VA, and conventional loans.


We also have the ability to do portfolio loans and exception loans!

But what my customers value most is that we take time to meet with clients, face-to-face, which allows for an open and honest relationship; so when a client leaves my office, they are both educated and comfortable with their options.
