at Heritage Real Estate of Albemarle
The Bellhouse Real Estate Group was created by Katherine Murphy and S. Yuri Reese who worked together for a few years and naturally decided to start a team. In 2021 they invited Milena Webb to join them, as someone who shares a similar work ethic and communication style. Bellhouse Real Estate Group is part of Heritage Real Estate of Albemarle.
We specialize in helping clients navigate the unique charm and diverse opportunities of Charlottesville, Virginia, and the surrounding counties. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant culture of downtown Charlottesville, the historic estates of Keswick, or the rolling countryside of Central Virginia, our mission is simple: to help you find your perfect place to call home.
Our team combines deep local knowledge with a passion for service and integrity. We don’t just work here — we live here, raise our families here, and are proud to be part of the community.

The Bellhouse Real Estate Group
"Katherine has been so responsive, flexible and kind through the whole process, from figuring out what we were really looking for, to answering random questions via text or email about any part of the home buying process, to taking us to see homes even if we weren't sure they looked great, just so we could start to get a better idea of what we do actually want/like."
"Milena is the hardest working agent around. She helped our family with our first home purchase last year and we are loving it. We highly recommend Milena! She is honest, hardworking, and knows what her clients want. She won’t rest until you are in the home that’s right for you!"
"Working with S. Yuri Reese was an absolute pleasure. From our very first meeting, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly listened to what we were looking for. He guided us through every step of the buying process, answered all our questions promptly, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident and informed. His deep knowledge of the local market and attention to detail helped us find the perfect home in a neighborhood we love. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend!"
Buying can be a tedious process. Let us answer some of your questions.
Before you start house hunting, it’s important to get pre-approved by a lender. This gives you a clear picture of your budget based on your income, credit score, debt, and down payment. A pre-approval also shows sellers you’re a serious buyer, which can give you an edge in competitive markets.
In addition to the home’s price, you’ll need to budget for closing costs (usually 2–5% of the purchase price), inspections, appraisal fees, homeowners insurance, and potential maintenance or upgrades. Your agent and lender can help you estimate these costs in advance.
The timeline varies, but from the moment you start seriously searching to closing, the process typically takes 30 to 60 days. Factors like market conditions, financing, inspections, and negotiations can affect the timeline.
Technically, no — but having a buyer’s agent is highly recommended. A good agent represents your best interests, helps you navigate paperwork and negotiations, knows the local market, and often catches issues you might overlook.
Beyond aesthetics, pay attention to the home’s condition — including the roof, windows, HVAC, plumbing, and foundation. Check for signs of water damage or structural issues. Don’t worry, your agent and a professional inspector will help you dig deeper into any concerns before you buy.
Selling can be a stressful process. Let us answer some of your questions.
Your home’s value depends on several factors, including location, size, condition, recent comparable sales, and current market trends. A professional real estate agent can provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you determine a competitive and realistic listing price.
First impressions matter. Declutter, clean thoroughly, and consider minor repairs or cosmetic upgrades like painting or landscaping. Staging your home — either professionally or with guidance from your agent — can also help buyers visualize the space and increase appeal.
The timeline depends on the market, your price point, and your home’s condition. In a seller’s market, well-priced homes can sell in days; in slower markets, it may take weeks or even months. Your agent will help you set expectations based on local trends.
Common seller expenses include agent commission, closing costs, repairs or concessions negotiated by the buyer, and moving costs. Your agent can give you a detailed breakdown based on your situation.
It’s best to leave during showings so potential buyers feel comfortable exploring and asking questions freely. Your agent will handle the showing and provide feedback afterward to help you gauge interest and make any necessary adjustments.
