Richmond LGBTQ Chamber

Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Chamber. We hope this festive season is filled with family, friends, love, and warmth for each of you. ♥️

🌟 Member Spotlight: Meet Matt Pritchett, he was born in Henrico, raised in Powhatan County, and moved to Richmond City after graduating from East Carolina University with a degree in Architectural Design and Business Administration. Upon his return to RVA he started a career in real estate sales with a top producing team at Keller Williams Realty. Matt spent a decade with this team working as an administrator, transaction coordinator, director of operations, real estate agent, and property manager. His time there helped him gain a unique prospective on how someone moves through a real estate transaction and how the home buying process works from start to finish. When the opportunity to work with Greg and Jesse at The Cowart Team presented itself to him, he decided to take the plunge into mortgage with no hesitation. It provided him a chance to deepen his knowledge for an industry he already loved and grow as an entrepreneur by seeing firsthand how a different leader ran their team. Matt enjoys sharing his knowledge from his time in both the realtor world and lender world with his clients. This education is invaluable in helping them to achieve their real estate goals and feeling empowered to make informed decision. When Matt isn’t in the office there is nothing, he enjoys more than, playing fetch with his dog Boone, spending time with his loved ones, and being outside taking full advantage of all the commonwealth has to offer.

Today we remember the lives lost to transphobic violence. #TDOR is a call to action for justice, equality, and the unwavering right to exist. Let's honor their memory by committing to building a world where all trans and gender non-conforming individuals can live with dignity and safety.

🇺🇸 Today, we recognize the incredible courage, sacrifice, and dedication of all veterans, including those from the LGBTQ+ community who have served our country with honor. Wishing all our honorable veterans a meaningful and reflective Veterans Day.
