What Our Clients Say

Grant Irby helped us sell our townhouse in Christiansburg, and the thing was under contract in five days. That alone should tell you something. Grant is an excellent Realtor, but what impressed me most was his work ethic. He puts in the kind of effort you honestly don't see very often anymore, in any profession. He stays on top of everything, keeps you updated throughout the entire process, and even sends videos explaining what is happening, what comes next, and what you need to know. He somehow manages to take a process that can be incredibly stressful and make it feel almost easy. He gives you straightforward, sound advice, he advocates for you when it matters, and you never get the feeling that you're just another listing on his schedule. You can tell Grant genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in what he does. He also understands how homes are marketed today. He stays current with social media, advertising, and getting your property in front of people. If you list with him, he is going to put the work in to make sure people actually see it. I honestly can't recommend Grant enough. If you want a Realtor who communicates and truly works for YOU, give him a call. He earned every bit of this five-star review.

We truly enjoyed working with Grant and can highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with, and it was always a pleasure spending time with him. He is very knowledgeable about the market as well as all kinds of aspects of homes and properties, and he was always happy to share his expertise and insights, which we greatly appreciated. At the same time, he had a great sense of when to step back and give us the space we needed to think things through and make our own decisions. Once we were under contract, Grant was fantastic at guiding us through the entire process. He proactively prepared us for every step, always got back to us quickly when we had questions, and was consistently available by phone. Whenever something needed to be taken care of right away, he was very responsive and made sure it got done. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Grant and his wife, Kelsey. They made the entire home-buying process so much easier and more enjoyable, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Grant! From the very beginning, he was there for us through every single step and made the whole process of selling our house so much easier than we expected. We were actually shocked by how FAST our house sold! 😂 We definitely did not expect everything to happen that quickly - 5 DAYS!!! Grant really knows what he’s doing and is extremely knowledgeable about the market. The professional video, pictures, advertising and promotion of our house were all done so well, and you could really see how much effort his team put into presenting our home in the best possible way. He was also always there whenever something came up, helping us communicate and cooperate with the buyers and figure out any issues along the way. We never felt like we were dealing with things alone. If we had a question or weren't sure what to do next, Grant was always there with an answer or advice. And I have to mention all the little gifts and thoughtful things from Grant and his team throughout the process! ❤️ It was so sweet and completely unexpected. Those little personal touches really made us feel appreciated and cared about, not just like another client. Overall, we are SO happy we chose Grant to sell our home.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Grant and Kelsey of University & Main Real Estate Group. Selling a home is a personal journey, and from our very first conversation, they demonstrated a level of authenticity that immediately put us at ease. Their strong communication, patience, and genuine care gave us confidence and peace of mind from the very beginning. Their creative marketing and promotion of our home exceeded our expectations and generated immediate interest, leading to an offer after just two days of showings. Their competency and deep understanding of the market were evident in every recommendation they made and every step they guided us through. We always felt that we were in capable hands. Throughout the process, they operated with complete transparency. They kept us informed, answered every question honestly, and ensured we understood what to expect at each stage of the transaction. We never felt left in the dark and always knew they had our best interests at heart. What truly set them apart, however, was their dependability. As challenges arose along the way, they became fierce advocates on our behalf, proactively solving problems, coordinating details, and ensuring nothing fell through the cracks. When the path to closing became more complicated than expected, they stepped up time and again, working tirelessly to keep everything moving forward. Their professionalism, persistence, and commitment were instrumental in getting us across the finish line successfully. This is an absolutely amazing team that combines expertise with genuine kindness and care. They are reliable, trustworthy, and deeply committed to their clients’ success. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in Southwest Virginia. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership, support, and guidance, and we could not have asked for a better experience.

Grant and Kelsey Irby with University & Main Real Estate Group are truly exceptional. Selling a home is such a personal and emotional process, and from the very beginning, Grant and Kelsey brought a rare combination of authenticity, transparency, competency, and reliability. They were honest, thoughtful, highly responsive, and steady throughout every step. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that we had the right people guiding us. Their marketing strategy was excellent. The photography and video were phenomenal and captured our home beautifully, giving it the kind of presentation and visibility it deserved. Because of their preparation, pricing guidance, and promotion, we received an above-asking-price offer and were under contract after only a couple of days on the market. What sets Grant and Kelsey apart is not just that they know real estate incredibly well, but that they care deeply about the people they serve. They were strong advocates, clear communicators, and dependable partners from listing through closing. Even when the process required extra attention and persistence, they handled everything with professionalism, patience, and confidence. We are deeply grateful for their guidance and could not recommend Grant and Kelsey more highly. They are an absolutely amazing team, and anyone would be fortunate to work with them!

All this garnished with the feeling we just made two new friends!

You won’t regret picking them off the menu of possibilities!

Grant has worked a land purchase and home purchase for us! He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We were thankful to have him and Kelsey by our side through both transactions.

My husband and I just relocated from California to Virginia with a toddler and a small dog. Grant and Kelsey Irby have been fantastic to work with.

They went out of their way to take videos of houses we were interested in and even went so far to give us recommendations for daycares. It has been a pleasure to work with them and to have them on our side. Thanks to their expertise, we are in our forever home! We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in Christiansburg, Blacksburg, as well as the surrounding areas.

When we made the decision to list our dad’s home, I reached out to a friend in the mortgage industry who immediately recommended Grant Irby. We knew the property was unique and might require some time to find the right buyer, so we wanted someone who would approach it with both expertise and enthusiasm—and Grant delivered. From our very first meeting, he came fully prepared with detailed data and clearly stood out from the competition. His energy and dedication to helping us sell the property were evident from day one. Throughout the entire process, Grant was proactive and attentive, keeping us informed every step of the way. He patiently answered all of our questions and provided thoughtful, expert guidance that made each decision feel easy and informed. We are truly grateful to Grant and his team for their support, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for his exceptional service and genuine commitment to his clients.

He was patient and kind as we asked questions and he provided expert guidance as we made decisions on selling our property. We appreciate Grant and his team! We highly recommend him and his dedication to providing exceptional customer service.

Grant was wonderful to work with during the process of purchasing a home. He was always willing to help find solutions and answer questions we had.

Grant is a great realtor who gave us a truly wonderful experience. He is honest, upfront, and helped us purchase our very first home. I highly recommend him

We recently worked with Grant and we purchased a town home in Blacksburg area. I initially found Grant through one of the Virginia Tech Facebook groups and watched his you tube videos that I found very informative. We are out of state. Grant visited some properties and emailed us very detailed videos. He hightlighted pros and cons from the properties which was very crítical for us - out of estate. We will definitely work with him again!

Definitely want above and beyond as we were out of town buyers. Definitely recommend Grant and will use him again for any real estate transactions I may have in the future.

The NRV is not running short of realtors, and if you are trying to cut through the noise and work with someone who truly cares about you and his community, please reach out to Grant. We recently bought a new home, and sold our previous home with Grant and I could not be more pleased with our experience. He worked with us every step of the way, even when we had to take a step back and reevaluate our family's needs, meeting us where were were the entire time. I fully trust in his keen observations of the area's market and trends, and his ability to not only find our family the right home, but to also ensure we walked away on top. Grant's empathy, sense of humor, and attention to detail are his strengths, which means he doesn't need his face on every billboard and ad around town. That is not why he does this, and I am so glad that I now have a trusted friend as a result of our getting together.

Our family has had such an incredibly experience working with Grant as our realtor. We knew what we were looking for in buying a home, but it took a looooong time (over a year!) for the market to present us with the right opportunity. Grant was patient, kind, never made us feel like we were wasting his time, and understood how important this decision was to us. He went above and beyond when it came time for us to sell our current home as well, and because of his efforts it sold quickly & above asking! I could not recommend Grant enough - he is truly an outstanding realtor & an all around great guy.

If you want a realtor who truly cares and goes above & beyond, Grant Irby is the one! 🏡 Knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated — he’ll make buying or selling your home a smooth and successful experience. 🌟

I recently purchased my first home, and I’m SO glad I chose to work with the Irbys. From the very beginning, Grant took the extra time to make sure I fully understood all aspects of the process to set me up for success. He was incredibly prompt in scheduling home showings, answering my many many questions, and keeping me up to date on the status of what was going on. He helped us strategize our offer and was an amazing voice of reason after it was accepted. His insight and wisdom was invaluable, as I ended up being the winning buyer in a competitive situation. There were also multiple unprecedented hurdles faced before we got to the finish line on closing day and the Irbys met each one face-on. Grant and his wife always had my very best interest at heart and they went wayyyy above and beyond to help my deal close. Despite some situations that could've been incredibly stressful and cost me the house, they came up with a solution to every single one. The Irbys are the real deal! They are just genuinely wonderful and so down to earth. I’d recommend them to any and everyone in SWVA!

If you're looking for a realtor in Blacksburg who will stick with you through a tough market and never lose patience, Grant Irby is your guy. We spent a long time searching for just the right home — and through every twist, delay, and false start, Grant never once complained or pressured us. In a competitive and fast-moving market, that kind of steady, calm support was invaluable. He was thorough, professional, and always quick to offer helpful referrals and advice — especially important for us since we don’t live in the area. He connected us with great local contacts for lending, property management, and more, making what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. And in the end, he helped us land the perfect house — something he predicted before we even saw it. Grant’s patience, guidance, and generosity with his time made all the difference. We’re so grateful we had him in our corner.

Grant was the most professional responsive agent we encountered during our home search

We absolutely love working with the Irby Team. They are professional in every way. The client referrals have been superior. At any chance we will not hesitate to work with Grant and his bunch. We look forward to many more transactions.

Grant Irby was our real estate agent who helped us find our dream property. We were looking for a piece of land in Southwest Virginia where we could build a pond and train our hunting dogs. Little did we realize how steep the terrain is in Southwest Virginia! After we looked at a couple of steep properties, Grant understood what we needed to train the dogs. He went back over old listings and found our dream, rolling hills, property. He listened, he learned, and he understood what we were looking for. We have built our beautiful pond on our wonderful new property and are grateful that Grant Irby was our Realtor. We don't think other Realtors would have worked so hard to understand our quirky needs. And, he worked hard in the midst of his second child being born.

We had an outstanding experience working with Grant Irby. As a military family selling our home from a distance, we were initially concerned about the process, but Grant made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free. His professionalism, knowledge, and excellent communication kept us informed every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise, our home was on and off the market within 30 days! It’s rare to find someone so loyal, honest, and trustworthy in the industry these days, and we are truly grateful that God put him in our path. We highly recommend Grant Irby to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate professional.

Outstanding Service and Expertise! I had the pleasure of working with Grant, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience.

He negotiated skillfully on my behalf and made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven real estate agent, I highly recommend Irby Homes. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future. Sold our house in 12 hours.

Grant was great in helping me find my house. I would highly recommend him for your buy or selling of your home!

In 2020 we found Grant through Zillow. You could tell straight away he was on top his game and very up to date on sales requirements and legalities. We had lots of questions and he was always straight forward in guiding us. He not only sold our old house for top dollar but helped us secure the best deal on our current home. (Between the selling and buying process there was a building process. We searched for months and months for the best land to build on. Finally, we decided not to build due to the high market. Then we found THE home. ) Anytime we had concerns he was always there listening and offering advice and options. I just cant say enough about Grant. He was such a great fit for us and we consider him a great friend to this day. If you're thinking about making a real estate move, do yourself a favor and call Grant Irby first. You'll be glad you did!

Grant is a wonderful real estate agent. He is easy to work with, is very knowledgeable and always ready to go the extra mile for his clients. I recommended him to friends who were looking for property and they, too, thought he did a great job.

Grant sold our house in 2023 for top dollar after a huge open house success and multiple offer situation. He expertly guided us through selling strategies, how to get our home ready to sell and how to navigate the difference in offers, resulting in a secure and solid offer accepted as soon as our house hit the market. Grant knows the market, he knows the NRV, and he will work to know you and your home to find the perfect home/offer for any buyer or seller!

Grant contacted me through Zillow and right off the bat we could tell he knew his stuff. He was way more helpful than anyone else we spoke to. We were looking to buy a house in multiple areas but once we found the house we wanted, we contacted Grant to help. It was out of his area but he still took us on. He was always polite and if he missed a phone call he was quick to call back or send a text. He was knowledgeable with the VA loan as well! He made the process of buying a house very smooth and exciting! We are so appreciative of Grant and everything he did to help us buy our home.

I would like to thank Grant for his help in locating a realtor in the state of Oklahoma as we prepared to put a family member’s home on the market to sell. Grant provided great guidance and expertise as he identified a real estate agent that proved to be the right fit to meet our needs. It is evident Grant’s knowledge of the real estate industry and his sound judgement make him a valuable resource for those in the New River Valley area.

All this makes me feel I can trust his guidance making a big decision like buying /selling a house.

I would recommend him without any doubt to my friends if /when they need a realtor… Kudos to Grant on his career in real estate 🎉 Respectfully, Feza M. Balci

Grant worked with us from afar and after meeting just one time to tour houses, he knew exactly what to look for when he helped us virtually. He paid so much attention to the details! We were grateful for his guidance. I also really appreciate his insightful and helpful social media content.

I highly recommend Grant Irby to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the New River Valley area. His dedication, work ethic, and commitment to his clients are truly exceptional.

Grant went above and beyond to sell my home. My home was quite unique so we knew it would require a unique buyer. He hosted multiple open houses, showcased it on social media in a fun way, and not only got it sold for above asking price but with a very fast close and very seller-friendly contingencies. It sold in the fewest days the home has ever been listed for and to top it off...he also helped to coordinate buying a new home at the same time. Highly recommend using Grant for all your real estate needs!

Grant was great to work with while selling our home. He knew the market well and developed a strategy to sell our home. Our home was on the market for 6 days before we received a full price offer. The closing process was smooth and Grant helped us with every step of the process.

In the past, I've worked with a bad realtor, a good realtor, and now I can say I've worked with a GREAT realtor. We really cannot say enough good things about Grant. Every step of the way, he went above and beyond in helping us find the right home. He is extremely organized (we never had to ask him twice for anything! He often found the answer to our question in 30 minutes or less!), and he asked helpful and thought-provoking questions to help us think through more clearly what exactly we were looking for and why. Over 6 weeks, he probably helped us look at ~30+ homes! Through that process, Grant continually expressed a positive and patient attitude. When it came time to craft an offer, Grant graciously provided a lot of education on various terminology and helped us write uniquely competitive offers. His specific coaching is how we landed the home we are in now! Please stop realtor shopping today and hire Grant!

Grant was an amazing relator to work with for our family's first time buying a home! He was very responsive and provided us with several tours of potential homes we were interested in purchasing. Grant was flexible during this process and accommodated all of our scheduling requests. Furthermore, Grant's communication style was diligent and thorough. He consistently advocated on our behalf when contacting the seller and HOA of our new home. He further broke down complex information and used modern tools like Loom to send video messages to us packed with useful information. Other things that Grant did to help us during the process included occasional phone calls, in person meetings, and conducting outside research on home valuations. We can't recommend him enough!

We had a great experience with Grant finding our first home! He was very knowledgeable of local resources and information. He was always very responsive and pleasant to work with! Grant made the home buying process very smooth, simple, and tailored to us. Overall a very awesome realtor! If we’re ever looking to buy another home, he’ll be the person we call!

Grant was always calm and composed, which was helpful when negotiating. We would highly recommend Grant when buying or selling a house.

Grant was very helpful when I was buying my first house. He made the process easy and straightforward with little to no hassle. He was great at negotiating prices with the seller which saved me much needed money for my first big move.
