Your Virginia Beach Living As a realtor, I strive to provide integrity, honesty, hard work and high-quality of service to all Hi, and welcome! Call or text me anytime at 757-752-8887.

My name is Shandra Cauthen and I work in Virginia Beach and surrounding areas with clients who are looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate. The best praise I've ever received from a client was:
"In all our days we have never met someone who works as hard and as diligently as her. Shandra is the type of person who will drop anything and everything to make sure you're completely taken care of

. This was our second home purchase, and she was able to provide us with an experience that was a thousand times better than our first." Helping people to sell their current property, and find their dream homes like that, makes me so proud and drives everything I do! If you're looking for a Realtor who prides herself in exceeding your expectation and getting you the results you want with superb customer service, I'd love to work with you, too! I've earned a master's in Business Administration from Averett University, a certification in Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR). I am also a part of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). When I'm not helping people with real estate, I can be found crafting, fishing, & spending quality time with family. Want to learn more about how we can work together? Thanks for reading my story!

PCS season is here: so let’s make your 2026 BAH work harder in Hampton Roads.

If you’re headed to NAS Oceana, one of the biggest money moves can be using your VA loan to buy (instead of renting) so your housing allowance helps build equity.

Quick tips to maximize BAH:
1) Shop by commute + resale: neighborhoods near Oceana often stay in high demand.
2) Ask for seller concessions: it can reduce your cash needed at closing.
3) Compare “rent vs. own” monthly: same payment can hit different long-term goals.
4) Think beyond the tour: HOAs, insurance, and taxes change the real monthly number.

Want me to run a few “BAH-friendly” options near Oceana and show you what your VA benefits could look like on paper? Message me and I’ll send a tailored list.

Norfolk Market Pulse: the “new normal” is here.

We’re seeing mortgage rates stabilize around the 6% range: and that changes the conversation. Instead of waiting on a “perfect” rate, smart buyers and sellers are getting laser-focused on one thing: VALUE.

Here’s why expert local valuations matter more than ever in Norfolk:
• Small pricing misses can mean longer days on market
• Buyers are pickier, so condition + location carry more weight
• The right comps aren’t always obvious street-to-street here

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Norfolk, I’m happy to run a local, boots-on-the-ground valuation (not just an online estimate) and map out a strategy that fits today’s market.

Comment “NORFOLK” and I’ll send you my quick Market Report link: or message me your address for a personalized value check.

Handing over keys never gets old: especially when it’s for a family as awesome as this one.

Big congrats to this wonderful Indian + Black mixed-race family on their new home in Chesapeake! From the first “just browsing” conversation to the final walk-through, my goal was simple: keep it smooth, keep it clear, and keep surprises limited to the fun ones.

If you’re buying or selling anywhere in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, or Hampton), I’ve got you: strategy, support, and a plan that actually fits your life.

Want a few homes that match your wish list (without the endless scrolling)? Message me and I’ll send options.
