Herbert Riggs

★★★★★
"Herbert is the kind of professional who gets things done—period. From our first meeting, it was clear he knew the market inside and out. He laid out a strategic plan, anticipated every move, and executed with precision. We sold our property above asking, and he negotiated terms that exceeded expectations. There was no wasted time or vague promises—just clear communication, tough advocacy, and results. Herbert operates with the focus of a CEO and the composure of a strategist. He doesn’t push emotions; he delivers outcomes. Every recommendation he made proved accurate, from pricing strategy to contract timing. If you want someone who can command a complex transaction and still keep it professional and efficient, Herbert Riggs is that agent. You don’t have to chase him—he’s already ten steps ahead of the market. Best realtor experience I’ve ever had." - Jordan T.

" Herbert treated us like family. From the moment we met, he took time to understand our goals, our concerns, and even our emotions through the process. This wasn’t just a transaction for him—it was personal. Herbert listened with care, checked in regularly, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported every step of the way. When we faced difficult moments, he reassured us with both honesty and kindness. He advocated for our best interests as if they were his own, and his integrity was evident in every decision. We ended up selling faster and for more than we expected, but the real win was how cared for we felt throughout. Herbert is not just an expert; he’s a genuine, compassionate professional who restores faith in the industry. We’re forever grateful and wouldn’t work with anyone else.” " - The Jackson Family

"Working with Herbert was one of the calmest, most reassuring professional experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, he was organized, transparent, and patient. He explained every step of the process in clear, logical terms and made sure we understood before moving forward. There was never pressure—only guidance rooted in data and honesty. Herbert’s steady approach gave us complete confidence. His communication was punctual, his paperwork flawless, and his integrity beyond question. What impressed us most was his ability to stay composed no matter what challenges came up. He coordinated inspectors, lenders, and appraisers with quiet efficiency, keeping everything smooth and predictable. If you value peace of mind, structure, and trust in a process that can otherwise feel stressful, Herbert is exactly the kind of realtor you want on your side. Simply put, he makes complicated decisions easy." - Elaine & Richard K.

"Herb made the entire process exciting from day one! His energy is contagious, and he turned what could have been stressful into something truly enjoyable. Every showing felt like an adventure—he kept us laughing, encouraged us to dream big, and celebrated every milestone along the way. Yet behind that upbeat personality is a sharp, knowledgeable professional who knows how to close deals. He stayed available, upbeat, and optimistic, even when challenges popped up. His creativity in marketing our home attracted multiple offers within days! We actually looked forward to every call because Herb made us feel like we were winning at every turn. Buying or selling with him doesn’t just get you great results—it’s an experience you’ll talk about for years. Herbert Riggs brings professionalism, joy, and genuine enthusiasm that make real estate fun again. Five stars all the way!" - Lindsay W.

"Herb is the best of the best. I went into selling our home with a lot of stress and worry about it sitting on the market for a long time. With little kids at home, keeping my house clean for showings was almost impossible and accommodating every request was an added difficulty. Herb couldn't have made the process easier. He helped us focus our efforts where it mattered most (in terms of prepping our house for sale), and eased our concerns along the way. His knowledge of the area and the market saved us a lot of unnecessary work and made the selling process as smooth as possible. Due to his expertise and know-how, we had multiple offers and ended up selling above the asking price. Herb is not your average agent. He is someone you can put your full trust in to get you the best."

"A neighbor friend referred us to Herbert. He was awesome. Despite the fact that he had many clients, he always responded to every inquiry immediately and made us feel like we were his only clients. He went above and beyond helping prepare our house for sale. This was an emotionally difficult sale of my wife's family home after her mom passed. Herbert was so understanding and so caring -- I've never seen anything like it. His rate was below the market standard and he managed to negotiate a price above what we asked. Herbert is a man of his word with impeccable integrity. I would recommend him to anyone. We will only use Herbert going forward for our realtor needs."

"Herbert provided the best experience I have had with a real estate agent, ever. Indeed I don't see how his rating could be any higher than it is. In terms of being honest, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and ethical, Herbert is outstanding. He helped me to sell my home and negotiated with me through a challenging process. Whenever we met a bump on the road, Herbert always kept his cool. Also, Herbert has the ability to see both sides of the selling process, the seller's side and the buyer's side. So he is always fair. Thanks Herbert. It was a pleasure working with you!" - Bob C.

"Herbert Riggs was very accommodating and sharp-witted in guiding us through the buying process. He broke down the entire process into a series of manageable steps compounded to the purchase of our house in Cameron Station, Alexandria. Through the series of daily emails and text messages, our trust in Herbert eventually reached a level where my wife and I were comfortable making a house buying commitment with his guidance. Herbert made himself readily available and provided updates regularly; his knowledge of the marketplace was impressive as he tailored showings to our preferences: he would let us know whenever a new house that met our requirements came into the market so that we would all visit and compare the pros and cons. Herbert was not pushy, he openly advised us to forgo houses that piqued our interests and yet required compromises that we didn’t have to deal with. Herbert's recommendations of other professionals you have to deal with in a home buying process were excellent. Frankly, we highly recommend Herbert for his honesty, integrity, and excellence. His actions match his words!"
