REALTOR, ABR, AHWD, SRS

“I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself.”
~ Oprah Winfrey
Having moved with her family across country to a new home, Alicia knows how exciting it can be! But also how much anxiety there is in moving. Whether it’s across country or just down the road, there is a lot involved but she has the experience to confidently guide you through it all.
Alicia grew up in East Aurora, NY, a small town just outside of Buffalo and still has a lot of family there. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from The Ohio State University and then went on to become a certified Paralegal at the University of Buffalo. But having left her college sweetheart back in Columbus, OH, she once again returned to the Buckeye State where she worked as a Paralegal and found her passion for real estate. This perfectly married her interest in law and working directly with the public. Since then, Alicia has been licensed in Ohio, New York and now the state of Virginia.
When not spending time with clients, Alicia enjoys hanging out at home with her husband (Dean), two teenage kids (Ella and Sam), 2 very hairy Labradors (Colby and Sabine) and her chickens (Pepper and Penelope). She also loves kayaking, wandering farmers markets, brewery hopping with friends, and collecting books that tend to go half-read.

Recommendations
So of course I started this home buying process inpatient and frustrated because of the competition that comes involved when doing so. Primarily because my faith in Christ and Alicia Shields, that all changed.
Alicia's beautiful disposition as a realtor was absolutely a rarity and for that I am truly grateful that I had the experience to work with someone of her character.
The seller of my home was extremely difficult person to work with. Because of the many repairs that had to be done to the home he became complacent and unreasonable when asked to repair the damages to my home.Alicias tenacity enabled me to push forward even though the struggles were upon us were evident.
I would recommend her expertise and her excellent demeanor to anyone in the home buying process and have eagerly done so. Thank you Alicia from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me and my daughter to purchase our Dream Home.

Outstanding realtor. Alicia is thorough, thoughtful, and extremely good at what she does. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Alicia was referred to us by my brother and his wife, and we are so thankful we found her! First of all, we transitioned from Arizona to Virginia completely in the hands of Alicia. Let me tell you, she was a godsend throughout the entire process!! From
researching each property we had interest in, to climbing into attics, giving tours via FaceTime and going to bat for us during closing...ALICIA IS A SUPER WOMAN! I would highly recommend her services to anyone moving the Richmond area from out of state or
in-state. She handled our transition with the utmost professionalism while keeping a positive attitude when things got a bit stressful for us. We always knew she had our backs and still continues to assist us with getting the areas even weeks after closing
on our beautiful new home! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Alicia! Hands down the BEST service we have had and ever could imagine! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would give her 100!! Thank you so much for everything you
do and continue to do for our family, Alicia!! You have made a mark on our hearts forever! With love, The Ricker Family : Kristin, Josh, Seth and Jakob
I’ll start by saying I knew nothing about real estate as a first time home buyer. Alicia totally helped me along the way. Answered every question I could think of and made the whole process as less stressful as one could imagine. Whether it was morning,
noon, or night, she got back as timely as one could hope for and never made me feel like I was a burden. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to call home. Fantastic, fantastic job.
Alicia is so friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable with her through the whole process. She is a wonderful person.
Thank you so much Alicia. My family and I are beyond happy. Thank you for answering our millions of questions and for always being accesible to us. We will recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
After thoroughly searching for realtors in the Richmond area, we decided to go with Alicia Shields at Next Home Advantage. We are so thankful and honored that it was Alicia who guided us through the search and purchase of our first home. We purchased our
home in October of 2021, in a very competitive market. Alicia advocated for us and our best interest as a family when helping us navigate the whole process. Alicia kept us updated throughout every step, even keeping our chaotic schedules in mind. She was very
quick and thoughtful to respond to our many questions. If there was a question outside of her realm, (I.e. financing specifics, loan options) she would direct us to a professional who could answer our questions. Alicia is truly the best!
Alicia was not only able to find exactly what I wanted but she did it while I was on the other side of the world! She made moving from Hawaii to Virgina much less stressful that it could have been. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Alicia
the next time you find yourself in need a of a kick@$$ realtor.
From start to finish Alicia was phenomenal! My husband and I are so thankful that Alicia connected with us, her attention to detail and even remembering the smallest things we discussed in conversation is just one of her greatest qualities. What I treasure
most about Alicia is her patience, preparedness, kindness, expediency and organizational skills. Even if I sent Alicia five or six homes at once she would quickly respond and usually within the same day or the next is able to book us an appointment to go see
it and always accomodated our work schedules.
My husband and I always looked forward to house hunting with Alicia she made it enjoyable giving us the feeling that we were in great hands! And clearly we were, she was with us every step of the way and guided us to purchasing our very first home which we know is the perfect home for us!!!
