Our story

We’re Mike and Vania, and Hampton Roads is home

We’ve been buying and renovating houses here for more than 15 years. KINDMOVE is how we want every one of those conversations to feel: kind, straightforward and honest.

How we got here

The short version of a long story

01

Fifteen years of homes

We’ve purchased, closed and renovated around 300 houses in Hampton Roads since 2010. We’re local, experienced real estate investors, not a national company working from a call center.

02

Why we started KINDMOVE

We wanted to offer something different from the typical cash home buying experience: experienced, local guidance with a genuine concern for what is best for the seller. Kind, straightforward, transparent, and as stress-free as possible.

03

How every conversation starts

“Tell me a little bit about the house, and what’s going on. We’ll see how we can best serve you. And if selling to us isn’t your best option, I’ll tell you that too.”

Real people you can talk to

We want you to know exactly who you’re dealing with before you ever call. That’s why you’ll see our faces on this site, not stock photos.

Our family

Then and now

When we were dating, Mike had just started buying houses. His first flip, a house in North Suffolk that he fixed up with his dad, helped pay for our wedding on May 14, 2011. We cleaned those first few houses with our own hands.

Three kids later, home is still where all of it happens, which is why we take it seriously when you trust us with yours.
