Old houses don't scare me. Bad renovations do.

I'm Jenny Mitchell, a REALTOR® based in Staunton, Virginia, and an unabashed lover of old houses, honest conversations, and homes that actually have something to say.

​

I've been licensed since 2016, but my real education started long before that, amid renovation projects, estate sales, and fifteen years as a vintage and antique dealer, with a focus on mid-century finds. I know what original hardwood sounds like underfoot, when a room is telling the wrong story, and exactly what it would take to tell the right one. Call it a collector's eye and a renovator's instincts, the kind of read you only get from having done the work yourself.

​

I came to the Shenandoah Valley in 2006, young, a little accidental, not entirely planning to stay. We bought a very 1960s, very original house in Waynesboro and told ourselves it was temporary. Twenty years later, I'm still here, still obsessed with this place, and I've built a career helping people do exactly that: find more house, more life, and more room to breathe than they thought possible.

​

My focus is Staunton, with select work in Waynesboro and Augusta County, historic homes, character properties, and the people who know the difference between a house and a home.

​

If you're selling, I stage every listing I take, not as a trend, but because I've seen what preparation does to a final number. I care about your photos, your pricing, your timing, and the eleven things most agents walk right past.

​

If you're buying, especially if you're making the move from Charlottesville, Richmond, or Northern Virginia, I've made this exact move. I know what you're weighing, what you're afraid of giving up, and what's waiting on the other side.​
