Ever so often you come across people who have found their calling and Ally Richardson is one of them. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and well respected in her field, but most importantly, she is very transparent, which provided so much peace of mind. She wasn't after her commission she was after finding the right fit for us. Thank you again for everything.

Ally was a true savior when it came to our house hunt. We had been passively searching for a house in Napa for two years so weren't too serious about it, but of course life changed for us in an instant and we had to start searching seriously in weeks time. That's where Ally stepped in and showed us our house and in one week, we had our offer accepted! Did I mention we were competing against an all cash offer and another strong offer? Why did the buyers choose us? Because the listing agent said they were really grateful for the amazing communications with Ally and how she was always prepared with the right documents and information. So it wasn't us the buyers chose, but Ally! We truly appreciated Ally being so patient and walking us through every step of the very convoluted and overwhelming process. She was never pushy, and always laid out all the options for us to make the best choice for us. We truly had a dream team, and were able to close in 12 days. We wouldn't be getting the keys to our home tomorrow if it wasn't for the diligence and dedication, that Ally brought to the whole experience! Choose to work with Ally, you won't regret it :)

I am thrilled to have found such an adorable home! So much gratitude goes out to my amazing Realtor, and now my sweet friend Ally. We met during a time when I was navigating a difficult journey. Ally was a bright light, and I still call her my angel. She not only came to me with incredible knowledge and professionalism, but more importantly she was the kindest and most gracious woman I’ve ever worked with. She always went above and beyond to help me, striving to stay sensitive to balance my needs and my dreams. She is a rare gem, and I can’t say enough good things about her. I will continue to recommend her to all of my colleagues, friends and family as the absolute best realtor in the Valley.

Once we decided it was time to sell our home, we chose the Champion & Richardson Team —we had been familiar with their work through the occasional mailers of the properties they have proudly and successfully sold in our area. Firs step was to give them a call and set up the first meeting/interview, and that was just the beginning of a very successful transaction. Their marketing strategies (website, open houses, private showings, etc.), always reachable and willing to work with our needs —we had two very professional ladies to represent us at all times. The Team was a pleasure to work with and did everything they could to get us the best deal in the shortest time. We highly recommend The Team, Elizabeth and Ally for any real estate transaction.

Ally is a fantastic realtor, and I would recommend her and her team to anybody looking to buy in the Napa valley. She helped us see many different homes of all shapes and sizes in person or sending us videos. Once we finally found the one after months of searching, she helped us write a strong, competitive offer which was accepted when we were out of the country! She helped us through a very quick close with strong communication every step of the way. Ally carries professionalism, family values, knowledge of Napa and great connections for each step of the process.

I cannot make enough positive comments about my experience with Elizabeth and Ally. In a relatively short time, they helped us sell our vacant lot in Napa in a subdued market. Our initial meeting was thorough during which they set realistic expectations and conveyed sincere enthusiasm and optimism for achieving our objectives. Along the way they targeted potential buyers, kept us updated on activity, fine-tuned our strategy and marketing collateral as needed, and responded quickly to potential buyers. Communications were always clear and pro-active. I would not hesitate to trust them again with my real estate needs.

The Champion | Richardson Team took on a family member of mine who has never been through a home buying process. Their professionalism and patience was extremely appreciated. They made their client feel comfortable, involved, and confident. When their client didn’t understand something they went above and beyond to get her all the information she needed and explained it multiple ways to ensure their client knew every step of the process.In the end, They got her in her forever home sweet home. ?? The best part!!!! Even after the Close, they are STILL involved with their clients. They are dedicated in building relationships with their clients and not making that relationship last a sale term but a lifetime. Wonderful experience and a five star rating. You will not regret choosing this team! ??

I have deep appreciation for the professional and personal approach Ally and Elizabeth take towards easing the process and continuous support they showed me throughout this journey of purchasing my new home. They were always there for me at a moments notice to ease any questions or concerns I had. I have nothing but praise and yays for the Champion and Richardson Team!

Elizabeth and Ally were the ultimate professionals. Informed and communicative, resourceful and driven. I can't thank them enough for their commitment and (amazing) success in selling my house!

Elizabeth and Ally really bring their A game. They bring athletic determination and a can-do team spirit to the challenging work of helping their clients succeed in buying and selling their homes. It was a long tortuous path to find a home for me, one that covered hundreds of miles, and maybe a dozen increasingly lavish and competitive offers and several interest rate hikes, in this mother of all sellers markets. And through it all they were calm, professional, wise and strategic. And incredibly patient with me as I flipped through listings from all over, driving to meet me--whether it was Forestville, Oakmont, Santa Rosa, Sonoma or Napa. They always had great advice when needed and talked me down when I was freaking out. They have a team of professionals they work with that are all top-notch, like Sean Marek, mortgage broker extraordinaire, and contractors and inspectors who were all competent and timely. They are also always warm, friendly and fun to be with.
We finally succeeded in finding me a great home, a block from where I was living in Napa, below asking price and closing without a hitch in 14 days.
I can’t recommend Elizabeth and Ally highly enough! They are the champions.

I am pleased to highly recommend The Champion/Richardson Team!
We have both sold and bought homes with the help of Elizabeth and Ally. I really can't say enough about the level of professionalism, attention to details and take charge approach they provide. They take care of everything from launch to close. What I love the most is their dedication to keeping the stress level low for their clients. They take it all on so you can rest assured. Fantastic!

This is the second time that Elizabeth has helped our family. The first time she helped my husband and I purchase our first home in Solano county. Recently, she guided and supported us with the sell of the house and purchase of our family home in Napa. Elizabeth has become a friend of the family. We feel supported, well informed, and 100% at ease knowing that she has our best interest in mind. She is genuine, honest, professional, well informed about the market, and always goes above and beyond to explore what is best for us as buyers and sellers. I couldn’t ask for a better realtor/friend of the family to guide us in such a complex and important process.

Elizabeth worked hard to ensure that we understood each offer and allowed us the space we needed to really consider our options. This was very much our choice, but we had the benefit of her expertise to allow us to make the best decision for our family! Elizabeth worked to help us get our home ready for market and went the extra mile to complete the sale - she is wonderful to work with!
MS
The Champion/Richardson team was amazing to work with!! Purchasing a property when you are in a different state can be a little unsettling. Elizabeth and Ally made it easy and gave us a peace of mind. They were available for us anytime we needed anything and were able to keep us connected through phone call, texts, and face time. If you are looking to purchase a property in the Napa area I highly recommend.

Ally and Elizabeth did an outstanding job helping us sell our Napa Valley property. The home needed their design expertise to complete some relatively minor updates to give it a brand new look that appealed to buyers. They took charge of the entire process of getting the property ready to launch, which made the process so easy for us. We were thrilled to receive an excellent offer in a very short period of time! We could not offer higher recommendation!

We cannot thank Ally and Elizabeth enough for their guidance and hard work getting our home sold. By the time they were finished helping us prepare our home for sale, to us it looked like It could in Better Homes and Gardens. From the staging to the photographer, everything was done top notch. Ally and Elizabeth are both very professional but also easy to talk to. They were always available for us when we needed them. We were also looking for a manufactured home in a super tight market. We looked at a lot of not so great homes except for this one newer manufactured home. We made a low offer compared to asking and it was declined. We were sad but were resolved to keep the cost down. We moved on but there was nothing we liked enough to take the leap. Our home received two offers and sold for more than we originally thought it would. I give Ally and Elizabeth credit for helping us stage and price the house. The home we wanted was still available so we made another offer which was accepted. We were able to pay cash for it. The timing for the close of escrow on both properties was coordinated perfectly. We love our new home and hope the new owners of our former home love it as much as we did. If we ever decide to sell again we would definitely use Ally and Elizabeth as our real estate agents. They make a great team.
EM
Ally and Elizabeth were absolutely amazing to work with. We were eager to find a home and they were always there to show us new listings, sometimes within hours of them being posted. Our anxieties about being able to buy a home in this competitive market were put at ease with them by our side. We closed quickly and could not be happier that Ally and Elizabeth helped us achieve such a meaningful dream.

Please do yourself a huge favor and HIRE THEM! My husband and I moved from Manhattan in January of 2020 to San Francisco and was so disappointed with the city in comparison to NYC, so we really put a lot of thought into the phrase, quality of life. One weekend while visiting Napa we met a local and was quizzing them on Napa and by the end of that conversation he passed on the refer information of the power duo of Elizabeth and Ally. After receiving such a glowing recommendation and of course our own research into them, we reach out to them. Within minutes on the phone we were sold on having them represent us.
We ended up buying a five bedroom property in Alta Heights, but as the seller was difficult and as obstacles kept trying to get in the way, our superhero duo leveraged their incredible negotiation skills and frankly their communication skills (keeping me calm) to see the close to fruition. This was one of the most complicated real estate transactions of my life, due to the seller/construction etc but these two were consistent, never flinched, and prevailed in getting us our dream home.
These two rockstars as I like to call them are truly a dynamic team and one I will refer people to for the rest of my life. I know that we wouldn’t be in this home if it wasn’t for the two of them.
We love them!

Elizabeth Champion is awesome. There is really no better way to say it. Without her hard work and dedication we may not have been able to buy a house in Napa this year. She is focused, smart and really puts her clients needs first. She encouraged us when we were unsure and fought hard for us the entire time. I would recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy a house. You wont be sorry !!
MS
Buying a home in wine country is a blood sport, and Elizabeth was fantastic in helping us navigate through the aggressive seller's market. (Picture 12+ offers on every home we looked at.) She ultimately came up with a strategy that allowed us to cut through all that competition and get us our dream weekend getaway home.
EA
My family and I had the privilege of working with the Champion/Richardson Team for over a year. We purchased our home in the middle of 2021, in arguably the most difficult buyers market in history! As we made offer after offer on homes, Elizabeth was right there by our side, encouraging us not to give up and doing all that she could to move us toward the dream of home ownership. Elizabeth helped us to be competitive yet rational and gave us continuous support and valuable advice. In the end, we ended up exactly where we were meant to be! Without Elizabeth's positive attitude, can-do spirit, dedication and perseverance we likely would have given up. I cannot recommend this team enough!!
J
It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth and her team, I couldn’t have done it without her. She was patient when I needed space, and responsive when I needed answers, but always kind and professional. I highly recommend working with her, and while I don’t plan on selling my amazing home anytime soon, I know I can count on her if I ever need anything in the future.

When we decided to sell our home in Napa after 28 years, we interviewed several different realtors. We choose Elizabeth and Ally and never regretted it. They listened carefully to us, and communicated clearly when issues arose. They worked tirelessly to make sure the home always looked its best. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it helped us navigate a difficult time. We definitely made the right choice!
JA
From the moment I decided to sell my home that had been part of our family for more than 50 years to the second I handed the keys over to the new owners, Elizabeth provided an incredible amount of guidance, support and encouragement. To sell a home is an emotional and stressful life event and it cannot be done without the expertise and professionalism that Elizabeth maintained. Together, Elizabeth and Ally facilitated a notably seamless transaction. To anyone who is thinking of buying or selling, make no mistake in calling the Champion & Richardson Team!
DH
Ally was wonderful! She was kind and compulsive about making sure we had everything we needed. Her communication and follow through was excellent.
We couldn't be happier with the process, she made everything so extremely simple.
I strongly recommend her to anyone interested in buying a home!
