Dodson Property Management Presents: All Things Richmond Dodson Property Management

On the newest episode of the 'All Things Richmond' podcast, Duke chats with Councilperson Ellen Robertson, a 17 year veteran of Richmond's City Council.  Ellen has worked diligently on numerous issues over her tenure in Manchester and other neighborhoods in her district.  Hear what Ellen thinks is important for Richmond to focus on over the next four years.

In the latest episode of All Things Richmond, we were able to sit down with the mad genius himself, Ted Elmore, to discuss his plans for BridgeparkRVA.  Bridgepark is one of the most ambitious and awesome projects that we've heard about in a while and would do wonderful things for connecting Downtown and Manchester with the river.  Check out Ted's progress!

We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to sit with the one and only (um... 2 and only?) Sean and Darren from Atlas Realty Group - Dodson Properties! We love these guys and what they have done in the Richmond area. If you don't know who they are, they are a "boutique" real estate company (meaning they focus on their clients and a concentrated area instead of branching out and being too broad over a number of areas). This is a great watch! Here are some of the highlights from this episode:

- Sean moved to Richmond in 2005 for love (and is still with Mindie 3 )

- Darren was born and raised in RVA

- They both went from selling phones to flipping houses to their current profession of full service real estate

- Sean and Darren enjoy hanging out outside of work as well. Their clients will often see them out and about after work hours!

- Enjoy a real estate market analysis compared to last year

- They don't branch out too much because they want to be small enough to stay connected with their clients. They love being there for every part of the experience and their clients and the Richmond area are EXTREMELY important to them.



This was such a great conversation! Thanks so much for joining us guys!

We're back with another #AllThingsRichmond podcast!  We were lucky to be joined by James Crenshaw from Gather this week to discuss how Gather started and where it is going moving forward.  Here are some of the highlights:

- The podcast was filmed at Gather City Center (which will be opening July 17th)

- James started his career at Alcoa after college.  He quit and volunteered in Africa a few times, came back and started Experience RVA, then became Gather's first-ever director in April of2014.

- James worked with our fearless leader, Duke Dodson, Andy from UrbanCore Construction, and Doug and Polly White to get Gather on the ground and running.

- City Center has lots of new excited features that are being built!

- Gather's Norfolk and Newport News opening dates are revealed here for the first time.

We hope you enjoy this deeper look into Gather!  Thanks again for joining us, James!

In Episode 1 of the "All Things Richmond" podcast brought to you by Dodson Property Management, Duke Dodson sits down with Andy Beach of UrbanCore Construction. UrbanCore is a premiere construction and development company in Richmond, Va responsible for invigorating some of the most popular neighborhoods in the city. They discuss what Scott's Addition is to the city and where they think it will go in the future. 

In our latest episode of the All Things Richmond podcast, Duke is joined by a local hero and good friend of his, Shawn Boyer!  Shawn started Snagajob (now Snag), and most recently started goHappy.  Shawn discusses how he put an emphasis on company culture to attract and maintain the best employees in the market, which Dodson also places a huge emphasis on, and he also talks about how this mindset help him start goHappy with a goal of fueling friendships and encouraging face-to-face meet ups every so often.  Thanks for joining us for this awesome discussion, Shawn!
