Mark Goad

REALTOR, Principal Broker
Since 1997, I have been helping folks buy and sell homes in the Richmond metro area. Nearly 100% of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients. You won’t see me in traditional advertising venues: billboards, newspaper ads, bus benches. Instead, I focus my energy, time, and money on taking the best possible care of my clients before, during, and after a move. In return, I enjoy your referrals to similar folks who appreciate the level of service I provide. It’s a good life!

Testimonials

Mark and his team were great to work with. We had a smooth homebuying process and a major part of that was working with The Good Life RVA.

~ Michael C.

Mark made our dream become a reality! He has been such a valuable asset for our first home purchase. He made us feel like his only clients with his quick response times and feedback on properties that didn’t match our checklist. All of our naive questions were answered with experienced knowledge and no judgment. He entertained our requests to see properties that didn’t fit our checklist with an open mind but the advice that we asked for. He made us feel entirely comfortable throughout our first purchase by previewing our contract and making sure that we were advocated for and making negotiations that we hadn’t considered. We are so happy with his professionalism and service. We would recommend him to anyone searching for their perfect match in a home!

~ Jordan C.

Cathy and I are grateful to the whole Good Life team for making this challenging transition so smooth, predictable and positive. We got the guidance, encouragement and support we didn't always know we needed. Mark and April are the best.

~ Greg D.

Mark is an amazing Realtor. I reached out to him when my recently widowed, senior mom was looking for a new home, and knew it would be a delicate and hard decision and process for her. Mark was incredibly patient and helpful making sure my mom’s new home wish list was taken into account, and shared listings with her immediately and made her feel at ease with the process. I cannot say enough good things about Mark and his team.

~ Marian M.

Mark was my realtor when selling my home. He used many different techniques for marketing and advertising and kept me in the loop at all times. He also has quite a network of professionals for staging, repairs, cleaning- all the tasks needing to be done to make the property look its best! I highly recommend Mark and his team!
