Prudential Radford and Associates, REALTORS has been an integral part of our Virginia Tech and Radford University college communities for decades. While we specialize in selling and listing homes near both college campuses, student housing including condominium and townhomes sales in Blacksburg and Radford, VA are an additional field of expertise... you cannot sell homes in Southwestern Virginia without specializing in rural farms and land too. 

 For 32 years formerly known as Raines Real Estate, Inc., our office was a century-old, "historic" Old Campus Inn that is located in downtown Blacksburg directly across from the Virginia Tech Campus and next to the outrageous maroon and orange Hokie House. While sitting in my office, I have listened to the Virginia Tech outdoor concerts on the lawn. We couldn't be more familiar with the local community.  If you have a question, please contact us. Our website is www.prudentialradfordrealtors.com. The second picture is our office at 318 North Main Street, Blacksburg, VA 24060. 

How fortunate can a real estate agent be?  We sell and list homes in the New River Valley community that has so much to offer its residents.  The Blue Ridge Mountains, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway and Claytor Lake that surround our college towns are a source of beauty that renews and changes with each season.   

We are known for outstanding service that we provide every customer and client!  Past real estate clients including home buyers and sellers often pay us a friendly visit during Virginia Tech ballgame weekends because we have developed long standing relationships with them and our community!  We can help find a college condo, a single family home, or the farm that you have dreamed of....

  We will find the perfect property for you or your client!

 Referring Diana to All of My Friends

" I didn't like real estate agents until I starting working with an agent at Prudential Radford & Associates, REATLORS.  Now, I recommend Prudential Radford & Associates to all of my friends and family because I want them to have a wonderful real estate experience too!"

Tom Asbury

Pulaski, Virginia

Relocation Expert

"When I moved to Blacksburg, I knew only a few co-workers.  I had a multitude of questions about the community.  My Prudential agent patiently answered all of my questions and offered services that I had not even considered.  I have been transferred four times by my company...this has been the best service that I have ever received and the best move that I have ever experienced. My agent at Prudential Radford & Associates, REALTORS will list my house when I move again in three years!"

James A.  Walker

We Needed Temporary Housing 

"Moving to Blacksburg without my pregnant wife was the only choice that I thought we had...until we walked into the Prudential office.  Diana helped us find temporary housing even though we had two huge dogs, and she even helped us find a great obstretrician. Then, when our home sold in Virginia Beach, she helped us find the perfect home too. Diana is a professional who treated us like family!"

B. Norton

 Long Distance Communication!

"We first started communicating with Diana when we visited the Yahoo.com real estate site.  She answered our questions for eleven months before helping us find the perfect agent in her office to help us. We were concerned about local schools and transfering our daughters AP credits, she patiently pointed us in the right direction so many times..."

G. Matney

An Expert About the Community 

"Diana helped me find a home for my son and his fiancee while he completes his doctorate at Virginia Tech.  I needed help finding local painters, someone to do yard work, and a plumber. She told me where Thomas can shop for international foods and buy fresh seafood! Diana is a fabulous resource of local information.  She is better than the yellow pages!"

To Buy or To Rent

1031 Tax Exchanges

"We really didn't know much about buying a townhome for our two children attending college in Blacksburg.  Thank goodness that we called Diana Blair!  She helped explain the tax advantages of buying versus renting.  Diana referred us to an accountant and real estate attorney who helped us shelter our real estate gains using a 1031 Tax Exchange. She advised us about the differences in buying a townhome versus a condominium. We didn't know that buying a townhome  would make a difference in our mortgage... I wanted our children in an area that was convenient to campus but not party central. Her advise was wonderful!  We will call Diana in three years when our children graduate!"
