Why Mackenzie

Born and raised in Charlottesville,VA, Mackenzie S. Davis is truly a “Cville” native as she represents the ninth generation of her family living in the area. She spent her childhood, growing up in charming Crozet, where her family still runs the longest family-run business for the last 90 years, The Modern Barber Shop. She was very fortunate to marry another native whose family ties are also all long-time residents in the area. Her deep roots and strong connections make her a specialist of everything the Charlottesville area has to offer.

She graduated from High Point University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. After graduating and exploring the job market, she found her personality and competitive nature was a shoo-in for a sales position. Combining sales with her passion for construction and real estate, she started her career in new home sales in 2010.

Becoming the #1 Builder Sales Representative in Charlottesville and Ranked Nationally in the Top 5 for a National builder, Mackenzie sold more new construction in Charlottesville than anyone else from 2012 to 2016. She has become one of the top New Home Experts in the area, by working for or with many different builders, developers, and vendors. In addition, her husband, Ben Davis, works for Craig Builders a well respected, long-time, local homebuilder as their Vice President of Sales. Being privileged to serve on the board of the Blue Ridge Homebuilders Association, alongside her husband who served as the BRHBA 2015 President, helped her develop many added connections within the builder world and community. In Mackenzie’s free time, she enjoys spending time with her daughter and two French bulldogs exploring the outdoors.

When deciding to build your new home you want someone on your side representing you while assisting in guiding you through the multi-step construction process. You also need someone with the right relationships and knowledge of building better than most, this is why Mackenzie should be your first choice. She has been involved in the construction of over 200 new homes; professionally helping others build their dream homes and building her personal homes. She understands the systems of the new home industry inside and out, from years of working with local and national builders. From all the paperwork, construction materials, building codes, builder’s pricing structures, to the multi-stage construction process, she will be able to make your new home purchase easier and less stressful.

What Buyers Are Saying

I had a wonderful new home buying experience with Mackenzie! From the moment we met, Mackenzie was attentive to our needs as a family and was willing to answer any questions we had throughout the process. She was extremely knowledgeable of the new home designs and options that were available to us and made sure we knew every detail before making a decision. The questions that we did have for her were answered quickly and completely. Mackenzie answered my questions during the days, evenings, and weekends with a turn around time of usually 20 minutes. That is amazing in my book! Her positive personality, ability to multitask and her attention to detail made our new home buying experience hassle free. It was a pleasure and honor to have worked with Mackenzie! – Wayne C.

She was extremely dedicated to my needs and followed up on questions promptly. I would recommend her to anyone buying a home in the Charlottesville area. – Brian S.

We were fortunate to have Mackenzie help walk us through the overwhelming process of purchasing a new construction home. She made the steps very clear and was extremely responsive when we had questions or concerns. We appreciated her transparency and honesty when as times as purchasers we felt vulnerable to the process. Mackenzie did not pressure us into making decisions but provided detailed-information and the expertise that we needed to help us make the best decisions for our new home. Mackenzie was very professional yet personable so that we felt comfortable sharing our goals for the purchase and watching them become a reality months later. – Viola & Ray H.

Mackenzie was the salesperson representing the builder for my house. Buying the house was a big step for me: it was the first house I ever bought, and I was from a foreign country. Therefore, there were tons of questions and more so concerns before I started. I was very glad that Mackenzie was very helpful to address all my questions and even made sound advice during the whole process. To my biggest satisfaction is that she shows great professionalism, from prompt response to my emails to follow-ups and always making sure everything was in order. Overall, I would say, Mackenzie, is a trustworthy, knowledgeable agent, and has great interpersonal skills. I was very nice to work with her and I would recommend her to all her future clients. – Xu W.

My husband and I were sure we wanted to build in a specific community and had our choice of three builders. We talked with each of them, but Mackenzie stood out to us with her friendly approach and helpful attitude. This was not the first home we had built, so we were familiar with the process and knew what we wanted structurally. Mackenzie was so helpful in getting us what we needed and if she didn’t know the answer, she got it for us promptly, letting us know what modifications were available if any. We had many appointments with her and were always treated professionally, her expertise also coming through in her emails. As a customer service professional for over 30 years, I am an expert at understanding the customer service world, where Mackenzie clearly soars. Had I been her manager, I would have consistently recognized her with awards and raises. Really, she’s THAT good. SHE is the reason we chose her company to build our home. I am confident she will continue to aspire as her career continues.- Kathey K.
