Wes Fertig – Broker, Top Producer, and Your Advocate in Real Estate

For me, real estate is about people first—homes second. Every move represents a major chapter in someone’s life, and I believe my job is to guide that journey with steady, informed, and unwavering support from the very first conversation to the moment you hold the keys or sign the final documents.

My guiding principle, “Service Over Self,” comes from a lifetime of putting others first. Before real estate, I served the Richmond community for over two decades as an emergency first responder, eventually advancing to an upper leadership role. In that career, integrity, trust, loyalty, and clear communication weren’t just ideals—they were non-negotiable. Today, I bring those same values to every client relationship.

With many years in real estate and as the #1 producing agent in my company for five consecutive years (out of 150+ agents), I know what it takes to succeed in a competitive market. That experience matters now more than ever—in a market where every decision can have lasting financial implications, you need a broker who understands the nuances, anticipates challenges before they arise, and negotiates with skill and strategy.

A native Virginian and proud Richmond resident for over 25 years, I know this market’s neighborhoods, schools, and hidden gems inside and out. I’m a certified relocation specialist, having helped clients from across the country seamlessly transition to life in RVA. Whether it’s finding the right fit for your lifestyle or securing the best possible terms for your sale, my mission is to deliver a smooth, stress-free process backed by exceptional service.

Outside of real estate, I’m an enthusiastic ambassador for all things RVA—whether that’s sharing a great new restaurant, the latest running trail, or a community event worth attending. You’re just as likely to find me hiking with my family and our three Great Danes in the mountains near Charlottesville as you are negotiating a deal back in the city.

In real estate, the stakes are high, but my clients know they have a steady hand, a clear voice, and a trusted advocate in their corner every step of the way.
