Behind the Brand: The Story & Vision of The Richmond Current

When I created The Richmond Current, I wasn’t trying to build another real estate account. I was building a space that reflects what I love most about this city—its energy, its creativity, its community, and the way life here moves with a rhythm all its own.

I’ve lived in Richmond for m7 years, and one thing has always stood out:
Richmond isn’t just a place to live — it’s a place to belong.

And that’s exactly where The Richmond Current was born.

What “The Current” Truly Means

The name carries three layers of meaning:

1. The Flow of Life in Richmond

Just like the James River, Richmond has a current — a pulse — that draws people together. From neighborhood bakeries in Church Hill to the trails in Stratford Hills, that movement is powerful. I wanted a brand that captures that sense of motion, culture, and connection.

2. What’s Happening Now

The Richmond Current is your inside look at what’s happening in our city right now:
– under-the-radar restaurants
– local events
– small business spotlights
– community programs
– stories from real people
– hidden trails, parks, and experiences
It’s the “current” moment — and the heartbeat of our everyday lives.

3. A Current That Carries You Forward

Yes, I'm a Realtor — but I’m also a connector, creator, and someone who sees lifestyle and community as the foundation for everything.
Real estate is just one part of your life in Richmond.
The Current exists to help you feel more rooted, more inspired, and more connected.

Why I Didn’t Want Another Real Estate Page

Richmond already has enough “Just Listed / Just Sold” accounts.
People want stories.
They want recommendations, inspiration, and connection.

I built this brand because I wanted a space that leads with culture, not contracts.
A page you’d follow even if you weren’t buying or selling a home.
Because at the end of the day, the best way to build community… is to show up for it.

What You Can Expect from The Richmond Current

Here’s what’s coming as this brand grows:

  • Spotlights on local makers, restaurants, shops, and creatives

  • Behind-the-scenes community stories

  • Hidden gems you may not know exist

  • New things to do, see, and experience

  • Trails, parks, & nature escapes

  • Seasonal guides

  • Neighborhood highlights

  • And yes — the occasional real estate tip, when it enhances your Richmond lifestyle

It’s Richmond… but more connected.

The Heart of It All

The Richmond Current is more than content.
It’s a love letter to the city that shaped me, supported me, and gave me a place to thrive.

And I hope, in some way, it helps you feel even more at home here, too.
