The 7,100-square-foot house in Henrico’s Henley neighborhood was one of three that topped the list and sold below asking price.

The Real Brokerage, a 10-year-old publicly traded firm, has upped its local presence with the addition of Mission Realty and several other teams previously tied to EXP Realty.

Hank Wilton is planning Patriot Glenn, a mixed-use development with 131 residential units and commercial space on a 60-acre site where East Patrick Henry and Providence Church roads meet, just off I-95.

The sellers include the CEO of a publicly traded company, a former insurance brokerage president and a trust for Richmond’s late “father of the riverfront.”

Avery Point, which at completion will span up to 1,400 residential units on a 94-acre campus in West Creek, expects to open a 103-unit apartment building called Wilton Crossing this summer.

Richmond’s high-end home market started the year off with a bang, with a local CEO paying nearly $4 million in cash for the house in the gated Goochland community.
