About Danny Hicks Real Estate Team
Built on Relationships. Powerd by Experience
The Danny Hicks Team is a Richmond-based real estate group that has spent more than 20 years earning the trust of buyers, sellers, families, and professionals across Central Virginia. We are not a transaction-focused brokerage. We are a relationship-first team and the difference shows in how we work and the lasting connections we build with our clients.
OUR STORY
20+ Years. One Standard
Danny Hicks Realty started with a simple belief: if you take genuinely good care of people, the business takes care of itself. That belief has guided every hire, every referral, and every sale since Danny Hicks began his real estate career in Richmond in 2006.
What started as one agent building a reputation for honesty, local knowledge, and availability has grown into a full-service team operating across Central Virginia including:
- Richmond City
- Henrico County
- Chesterfield County
- Mechanicsville
- Midlothian
- Ashland
- Goochland County
- Powhatan County
- The East End
- New Kent County
- Colonial Heights
- Petersburg
- Church Hill
- The Fan
- St. John’s Church
- Windsor Farms
- West End
- Carytown
The team’s growth has been almost entirely referral-driven, which is not an accident. It is the result doing exactly what we say we will do, and being there when clients need us.
What makes this team different is our range of specialized services. The Danny Hicks Team works across the full spectrum of residential real estate.
- Relocation to Richmond and Central Virginia
- Corporate and professional relocations
- First-time Richmond residents
- Historic Homes
- Renovation-Focused Properties
- Off-Market Home Searches
In Richmond

- Agent-to-agent referral network
Outside of Richmond
- High-Value & Luxury Properties
- Estate and Inherited Properties
- Probate Real Estate
- Senior Transitions
- Assisted Living Moves

- Deferred Maintenance Properties
Specialized Services
We have built the expertise, the systems, and the referral network to handle all of it – and to handle it well.
That standard has not changed since day one. It will not change when the market shifts, when the team grows, or when the name eventually evolves beyond Danny’s own.
"In the end, it's not about selling homes. It's about building lasting, meaningful relationships."

Danny Hicks believes real estate is about far more than buying and selling homes. It is the beginning of a new chapter in a client's life, and he believes it deserves to be treated that way.
Since 2006, Danny has helped buyers, sellers, investors, and families throughout the metro Richmond and Tri-City area navigate some of life's biggest decisions. His
relationship-focused approach has earned the trust of generations of clients and fueled a business built primarily through referrals. He believes in building lifelong relationships by providing exceptional service, honest guidance, and a genuine commitment to helping people achieve their goals.
Known for his approachable style and ability to simplify complex situations, Danny serves as both an advisor and mentor throughout the buying and selling process. Whether helping a
first-time buyer
purchase a home, guiding a family through the sale of an
inherited property, or
assisting a senior with a major housing transition, he is committed to helping clients move forward with confidence.
Danny has been recognized as a Top Selling Agent with Weichert Realtors, Grand Heritage Homes, and RVA Home Team brokered by eXp Realty. As a real estate investor himself, he brings a unique perspective to every transaction. His experience with renovations, rental properties, new construction, and long-term property ownership allows him to help clients understand not only how a property may sell, but how it functions, performs, and creates value over time.
A lifelong learner, Danny stays informed on market trends and continually invests in professional development. He enjoys learning from top agents across the country, building relationships within the industry, and helping others succeed. As host of
The Not-So-Secret Agent Podcast and organizer of the
Mid-Atlantic Mastermind Conference, he has developed a nationwide network of trusted professionals that benefits clients moving both into and out of the Richmond area.
A Richmond resident since 1997 and proud
VCU graduate, Danny lives in Church Hill near historic
St. John's Church with his wife, Megan. He is passionate about Richmond's neighborhoods, historic homes, and the strong sense of connection that makes the city unique. His involvement in community events, neighborhood initiatives, client appreciation gatherings, and local partnerships reflects his commitment to the city he calls home.
When he's not working, Danny enjoys cooking, boating, traveling, discovering great food, listening to motivational speakers, and meeting new people. Above all else, he
values family, friendships, and meaningful relationships. Because at the end of the day, it's never just about selling homes. It's about helping people build the next chapter of their lives and creating relationships that last long after closing.

Cass-Andra Pruett
Realtor
I am a REALTOR® and landlord with years of experience in the real estate field. Having lived in both Richmond and Seattle, I bring a broad perspective, but I have been proud to call Richmond's historic Fan District home since the late 90s.
Originally born and raised in Germany, I grew up moving from place to place, which sparked a lifelong appreciation for different cultures, architecture, and the unique character of every community. My passion for travel continues today, with summers often spent exploring Italy.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy discovering art, experiencing new destinations, and spending time with animals. Whether I’m helping someone find the perfect home, managing investment properties, or sharing recommendations for local gems, I believe that real estate is about creating a lifestyle—not just completing a transaction.
Shannon Milligan
Realtor
Hey there! My name is ShannonMilligan, and I save home buyers and sellers time, money, and brainpower by empowering clients to make educated decisions in the Richmond, VA, real estate market.
With a servant's heart and a teacher's mindset, I have a passion for educating clients and helping them navigate the sometimes bumpy and always thrilling real estate process. When we work together, you will be confident in understanding the real estate contract, gain knowledge about the home inspection contingency period, and learn tips, tricks, and strategies to be competitive and effective in the current state of the real estate market.
While I service the entire Richmond market, my specialty and expertise are in residential real estate in Midlothian, Chesterfield, Bon Air, Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Powhatan.
Your Goals. Your Dreams. My Passion.
Mozzie Naveda
Realtor
Originally from Upstate New York, I spent years living throughout the Tri-State area before making the move to Virginia last year. Having relocated myself, I know just how exciting and overwhelming it can be to start over somewhere new. That's what drives my passion for helping others do the same.
I specialize in helping people relocate to the Richmond area, whether you're moving for a new opportunity, to be closer to family, or simply because you're ready for a fresh start. Relocating is about so much more than buying a house. It's about finding the neighborhood that feels like you, discovering your favorite local spots, and building a life in a place that finally feels like home.
My goal is to make that transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I'll be your advocate, your resource, and your local guide, helping you navigate not only the home-buying process, but also everything that comes with getting to know a new city.
When I'm not helping clients, you'll probably find me hiking, gardening, exploring Richmond's local businesses, or practicing yoga.
Moving to a new place is a big leap, but you don't have to figure it all out alone. I aim to help you feel at home from day one.
HOW WE WORK
Three words. One standard.
Care
Every decision we make, every recommendation we give, every conversation we have is filtered through one question: does this help our client? We will not do anything that does not serve your best interests.
Competency
We know Richmond. We know real estate.
We know how houses work, from a leaking roof to an estate in transition to a deferred maintenance property that most agents would not touch. We bring the
right expertise at the right moment.
Consistency
You will always be able to reach us. We have a team on call 7-days a week so that our schedule never interferes with yours. We are there when you need us, every time.
Relationships Beyond Closing
Our
Clients for Life program is based on the belief that our relationship does not end at the closing table. After you close, you will hear from us. You will receive the
referral directory of trusted contractors. You will be invited to
client events. You will have
access to our network for as long as you need it.
Honesty Above All
We operate with
zero conflicts of interest. We will not recommend services, contractors, or courses of action that benefit us before they benefit you. We won't tell you what you want to hear. We'll tell you what you need to know to make the best decision for your situation.
IN THE COMMUNITY
Richmond is not just where we work. It is where we live.
The Danny Hicks Team has deep roots in the neighborhoods and communities we serve. Danny has called Richmond home since 1997, and over the past two decades he has invested in this city through community events, neighborhood initiatives, client appreciation programs, and professional networks that lift the entire Richmond real estate industry.
Local Expertise
We believe that being a client of the Danny Hicks Team should feel like being part of something. Our annual client events bring together past clients, referral partners, and friends of the team for an evening of good food, real conversation, and connection. These gatherings are sponsored by the professionals in our referral network, including lenders, estate attorneys, and financial planners who share our commitment to serving Richmond families well.
Church Hill Neighborhood Initiative
Church Hill is one of Richmond’s most vibrant and historically significant neighborhoods, and it is an active focus area for the Danny Hicks Team. We engage this community through neighborhood-specific marketing, local event sponsorships, and genuine involvement in the life of the neighborhood. Our annual Spring Clean Out event,
Dumpsters, Donuts, and Donations, brings neighbors together while supporting local giving. We also host Family Portrait days at Libbie Hill Park as a free resource for community members.
The Not-So-Secret Agent Podcast
Danny hosts The Not-So-Secret Agent Podcast, a series of conversations with top real estate professionals from across the country. The podcast explores what it means to build a referral-based business, serve clients well, and grow as a professional in a relationship-first industry. It is a resource for agents at every level and a window into how Danny thinks about real estate, people, and what it means to do this work well.
Mid-Atlantic Mastermind Conference
Each September, Danny Hicks hosts the
Mid-Atlantic Mastermind Conference, a gathering of top real estate professionals from across the region. The conference features speakers, a synergy lunch, panels, and peer-to-peer learning designed to raise the standard of real estate practice in the Mid-Atlantic market. Registration and information are available through the Agents page.
Richmond Sporting Events and Local Experiences
We are regulars at Richmond Flying Squirrels games, local wineries, and the kinds of community events that remind people why Richmond is one of the best places to live on the East Coast. When we invite clients to join us, it is a genuine expression of the city we love and the relationships we value.
