My wife, Liz, and I were visiting West Virginia in the summer. We were looking for some rural property for a summer home and for a refuge from the hurricane seasons in our home state, Louisiana. Richard and Paul Grist showed us a piece of property in Greenbrier County and we fell in love with it, immediately.
Richard's advice as a farmer, forester and realtor was invaluable in helping us make our decision to purchase this property.
This little piece of heaven is now ours and we look forward to the day when we can spend much more time there with all of our new friends in WV including Richard and Paul.
Sincerely,
Andrew E.

Dear Richard and Paul,
I make my living as a real estate investor and have owned land not only in West Virginia but in Utah, Nevada, California and Florida. ...
Probably the most enjoyable purchase I've ever made is the nominal 11 acres that you sold me near Asbury last year. You made it so because of your integrity; integrity being that mixture of knowledge and honesty.
I didn't know the Greenbrier County real estate market when I made my purchase, but I knew enough about real estate to know a darned fine broker when I met one. Your near-immediate earning of my trust enabled me to bypass all the time I normally spend in a new market to learn it myself and move directly into the purchase phase. You saved me several weeks of time & and time is definitely money to me.
Since my purchase and because my business is now centered in Las Vegas, Paul has taken the time to keep me informed about the status of my property. That's done two things: saved me time and money and engendered the desire on my part to keep my relationship with you over the long-term.
So, to you both I say thank you. You are among the very finest brokers in the country, and that includes markets in which the participants consider themselves very sophisticated.
Your hard work and dedication to your clients will create all the luck you need to make your new brokerage a success. I can only thank you both for the outstanding service given to me and hope that we'll do business again.
Sincerely,
Bob

It is not too often that a person says "WOW" about a real estate buying process. But anything less would not express our sentiments about the attentiveness, professionalism, genuine caring, and ability to solve problems that Richard Grist exemplified during our purchase of 350 contiguous acres from two different sellers.
Richard was extraordinarily familiar with the boundaries, features, assets, and potential of the real estate we were buying. His thoughtfulness in sending beautiful pictures of indigenous wild flowers in bloom and other beautiful scenery on our mountain land helped to close the geographic gap between our property and us during the buying process.
From viewing the land in the beginning, through negotiating contracts and finalizing the transaction, Richard facilitated our process like it was his own. Not only is his integrity, professionalism, and diligence in ensuring a smooth process unparalleled in our experience, he's also a genuinely nice guy!
We would recommend Foxfire Mountain Properties without hesitation to anyone looking to buy real estate.
Sincerely,
Bill & Sherry Augustine

We were walking down the street in beautiful Lewisburg, and saw a sign on a storefront that caught our attention. The decision to go into Foxfire Mountain Properties changed our lives.
We had driven around many states looking for a special piece of property, and by chance drove up Route 219 through Union and Lewisburg. We went in and met Richard Grist, who answered our many questions and told us about the area for over an hour. We asked if he could show us a property, and we ended up buying exactly what we were looking for that day.
We feel that the generous time and effort Richard made to help us, when we had shown up unannounced, made the whole process easy, and we will always be grateful to him for leading us to our beautiful farm.
Richard is very knowledgeable about Greenbrier and Monroe Counties, and his timber business has given him a special perspective of the land and history of the area. It was a pleasure dealing with him, and his direct and genuine manner was a wonderful introduction to Lewisburg.
He is a real gentleman, and most important, has become a friend.

We purchased a property in Greenbrier County in the fall of 2006 that Richard had listed. From the moment we met him to walk the property, it felt as if we had known him for years. Richard and his son, Paul, were genuine in their approach. Richards respect for the land and knowledge of the surrounding area was evident from the start.
Even though Richard was not our agent, he was extremely responsive to our questions and concerns. He went the extra mile in meeting with neighbors of the property to assure boundary lines and surveys. After the sale, he met with us to review the property and introduce us to local contractors, and even facilitated us meeting our new neighbors.
A main selling point for us was knowing that we would be surrounded by neighbors like Richard Grist.
Sincerely,
Wallace & Brigid H.
