I'm Jen 
Meet Jen Orth
Wife. Mom. Dog lover. Richmond Realtor with heart (and hustle).
Hi, I’m Jen—your go-to real estate bestie here in Richmond, VA. I’m a proud mom to a spirited teen, wife to an endlessly patient man, and fur mom to three lovable chaos-makers (aka dogs).
Creating a warm, inviting home is my love language—whether it’s a cozy screened porch moment with coffee, some early morning yoga, cheering on my daughter at field hockey or LAX, or just curling up with a good book and a pack of pups. That same love for “home” is what drives how I serve my clients.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than a Realtor—you’re getting someone who listens, laughs with you, keeps it real, and walks alongside you every step of the way (laptop and latte in hand).
So, why “Hello The House”?
It started with my mom. When I’d come home to visit, I’d shout “Hello, the house!” through the door so she’d hear me. That phrase became a symbol of warmth, connection, and coming home—and now it’s the heart of my brand.
My goal? To help you find not just a house, but the home that fits your life. Let’s make it happen.
How Can I Help?
Stop Dreaming, Start Living and Find Your Dream Home Now
Imagine buying a home without the stress.
Sounds dreamy, right? With the right strategy, tools, and a local expert (hi, that’s me), it’s 100% possible. I’ll guide you through the entire process from that first “we’re ready” moment to the final closing table—and everything in between.
So, what does the home-buying journey actually look like?
🔍 Buyer Consultation
First, we’ll meet (in person or on Zoom) for a Buyer Consultation. This is where we talk goals, timelines, budget, neighborhoods, and your must-have list. It’s the launchpad that gets us moving in the right direction.
🏡 Property Search
Next comes the fun—and sometimes overwhelming—part: the search! I’ll set you up with custom alerts and a strategy to keep us focused on the homes that truly fit your criteria (not just the pretty ones with staged fruit bowls).
🚪 Showings
Once you’ve got favorites, we’ll dive in. We’ll talk through pros and cons, schedule private showings, and walk through homes together (virtually or IRL) until that “this is the one” moment hits.
✍️ Making an Offer
Found your dream home? We’ll run the numbers, pull recent comps, and read the market like a boss to help you craft a competitive offer. No guesswork—just smart, strategic moves.

Where do I begin? Trying to navigate a crazy and insane housing market without Jen wouldn’t have been possible. Jen was patient, responsive and so easy to work with.

Jen is amazing!! She helped make our little family’s dream home come true. Always nice, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and 100% for her clients. We feel she has went above and beyond numerous times to help make the transition with moving from Ohio to Virginia. Our two little boys and dog just love her too! Ended up making a life long friend as well! Best experience ever! I would highly recommend Jen to find your next home!
Jen is 100% professional and she does her job spectacular. With that. She is downed earth friendly and genuinely concerned about her clients. We would use Jen over and over again. If you’re looking for a realtor that has your best interests, call Jen.

Your Review: First time working with Jen as a buyers agent for a mutual client we had. I was extremely impressed with her proactiveness, quick replies for information requested, and just an overall great experience as a “hands on” professional. She was willing to do whatever was needed to get our client the best price and the smoothest transaction possible. I hope to get the opportunity to work with her again on other transactions . Highly recommend her services for anyone looking to sell or buy a home!!
My husband and I are so very happy to have found our new home. Jen Orth did an amazing job helping us through this journey. I can’t find enough words to share my gratitude!
She hung in there with us when we got nervous and worried. She was relentless and didn’t give up, and sure enough, she found our dream home!!!
I didn’t expect to find someone so genuine and caring, with so much patience! We’ve developed a true friendship through this journey.
Thank you Jen, from the bottom of our 💕 hearts!
I strongly recommend Jen Orth as a realtor! Jen met with me to get a sense of what kind of property I was seeking. I had lots of requirements but that did not faze her at all. She drove by properties to get a sense if I would like them and even videoed a showing when I could not attend in person. She found a fantastic property for me. At all times I felt that Jen was truly representing me . I wish more realtors were like Jen.
