Live Where You Love in Richmond, Virginia

I'm Jen 
Hello from your new real estate bestie in Richmond, VA!
But first things first, I’m a wife, a mom of an amazing daughter and a proud fur mom of a whole pack of furry friends – 3 adorable “dergs”!
Creating a warm and welcoming home is my passion, and I love making everyone who visits feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the screened porch, practicing yoga, getting lost in a good book, playing with the pups, or cheering on my daughter at her Field Hockey or LAX games, creating a haven is what makes me happy.
Of course, you’ll also find me on the go quite often, phone and laptop in hand, working hard for all my real estate clients.
The name “Hello The House” has a special story. When I moved out and came back to visit my parents, my mom (bless her ears!) couldn’t hear me arrive. So, I took to announcing myself with a loud, friendly “Hello, the House!”. That’s how this whole thing started – because “Hello The House” captures the feeling of comfort, warmth, and truly being home. And that’s exactly the feeling I want to create for all my clients, past, present and future.

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!

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.
