Our Story
In December of 1980, Richard T. Spurzem made his first real estate investment as a 19-year-old, Second-year Echols Scholar at the University of Virginia. He responded to a classified ad in the Daily Progress advertising a house on Douglas Ave. in Belmont for sale at its assessed value. With two partners (including future Charlottesville Mayor Blake Caravati), they paid $15,300 for the run-down house with $2,800 cash down and seller financing for the rest. They renovated the house into two apartments. A few months later, Richard purchased his first property on his own, again with the help of seller financing as interest rates were at an all-time high of 18+%. With a "rinse and repeat" strategy of buying a house, fixing it up, renting it out, and re-financing it to pull cash out for the next deal, Spurzem has spent the last 40 years building and upgrading a residential real estate portfolio in Charlottesville, Albemarle, and the surrounding areas.
