We built a brokerage for the people who build Richmond.

My name is Rick Jarvis and I'm from Richmond, Virginia. I founded One South Realty Group in 2008 to build the marketing-centric, mixed-use brokerage Richmond didn't yet have.

In January 2024 we migrated our team onto the Samson Properties platform — widening our network of colleagues and unlocking a suite of technologies our independent status couldn't access.

Most of my career has lived at the intersection of real estate and development — helping the architects, builders, and developers who create Richmond's new housing decide what to build, how to price it, and how to bring it to market. It's a narrow niche, and a deeply rewarding one.

I believe good real estate decisions come from clear thinking and good data, not gut feel. That conviction shows up in how we price a project, how we read the market, and in the essays we write — most of which are really just us trying to think a problem through out loud.

Whether it's a single infill lot or a seventy-unit condo conversion, the goal never changes: bring rigor, marketing, and a genuine love of the work to every project we touch.
