Meet the Team

Pickett Properties is a husband wife team focused on giving all clients a personalized real estate experience through consistent, proactive guidance. Following her career in education as a Math Teacher and Assistant Principal, Terra sold 100+ homes in her first two years as a licensed agent landing her in the top 5% of all real estate professionals in America before then being named one of the first Real Producers Rising Stars in the Richmond area as well as to both Richmond Magazine’s Top Referred REALTOR® and Five Star Professional Award twice.

After two more major renovation projects in 2025, Shawn and his father founded PickettBuilt to offer their construction and renovation services to the public.
