Sharon Merrick Farms and Estates Real Estate Consultant

Local Expert Global Reach


With more than 20 years of real estate experience and deep roots in Central Virginia, I help clients buy and sell distinctive properties throughout the region. I specialize in farms, country homes, land, equestrian properties, sporting estates, historic homes, and other properties with character.

Before entering real estate, I was a Senior Vice President in Wells Fargo’s Capital Markets Group, where I underwrote more than $6 billion in commercial real estate transactions. That financial background—combined with extensive local knowledge—allows me to offer thoughtful guidance, strong negotiation, and careful attention to every detail.

Licensed in Virginia and North Carolina, I provide knowledgeable, discreet, and highly personalized service. Whether you are selling a legacy property, evaluating an investment, or searching for a special place in the countryside, I will guide you through every step of the process.
