🏠We Sold Our Richmond Home to Open an Estate Agency
What could possibly go wrong?
When we decided to open Cantell & Co, we didn’t go looking for investors.
We didn’t chase funding.
Instead, we sold our own apartment in Richmond.
No backers. No boardroom. Just a flat and a very clear idea of what we wanted to build.
What could possibly go wrong?
Truthfully, it was one of the best decisions we ever made.
Why We Did It
We’d spent years in the property industry and had seen the good, the bad, and the far-too-corporate.
What was missing?
A local, independent agency that genuinely put people first — without being shackled by investor targets or red tape.
By funding Cantell & Co ourselves, we gave ourselves the freedom to:
Tell the truth (even when it’s not what someone wants to hear)
Focus on relationships, not transactions
Represent our clients and our community without compromise
Say “no” when something doesn’t feel right
What We Built
Cantell & Co has grown into one of Richmond’s most trusted independent agencies.
We didn’t get here by chasing numbers. We got here by caring deeply about every home and every person we work with.
We’re not just in Richmond. We’re from Richmond.
And we’re proud to be part of this amazing community, helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives, with care, honesty, and local knowledge you can’t fake.
What Next?
If you're thinking about selling, buying, or just want some honest advice, we're here.
We’ll bring the local insight, the experience, and (if needed) a strong cup of coffee.
No pressure. No fluff. Just people who love where they live — and want to help you love where you live too.
Warm regards
The Cantell & Co Team
