Liz Raney

A Charlottesville native, St. Anne’s-Belfield and University of Virginia graduate, Liz brings something rare to real estate — a lifetime of deeply rooted local knowledge paired with over a decade of experience in one of Virginia’s most dynamic markets. As a partner at Core Real Estate Partners, she specializes in residential sales throughout Charlottesville and the surrounding area, guiding both buyers and sellers through every step of the process with confidence, care, and an insider’s perspective that simply can’t be learned overnight.

With a strong foundation in sales and marketing, Liz understands what it takes to attract the right audience and close with confidence. That breadth of experience sharpened her instincts for presentation, negotiation, and understanding what discerning clients truly value. Whether you’re relocating to Charlottesville from out of town or you’ve been here for years and are ready for your next chapter, Liz has an exceptional ability to match the right buyer with the right property — including opportunities that never hit the open market.

For buyers, her extensive network and deep community ties mean she often knows about properties before they’re listed — a distinct advantage in a competitive market. Her track record in multiple-offer situations speaks for itself, and she negotiates with skill and tenacity to ensure her clients come out ahead when it matters most. For sellers, she knows how to position a home to attract serious buyers, pricing it strategically from the start to minimize days on market and maximize the price. She leverages every advantage to deliver the best possible outcome.

Liz has deep Virginia roots — she’s a direct descendant of Alexander Spotswood, Virginia’s first Colonial Governor — and she’s proud to call Charlottesville home. When she’s not helping clients, you’ll find her chasing after her three boys and her red fox lab, Milo, gardening, hiking, or out on the pickleball court (Fun fact: her Farmington team placed 2nd at Nationals!) She is a member of Pi Beta Phi, Albemarle Garden Club, Farmington Country Club, serves on the Foxfield Steeplechase Races Advisory Board, and is actively involved with St. Anne’s-Belfield School. Liz recently served as Head Hostess for Garden Club of Virginia Historic Garden Week 2026. She loves attending special events that support organizations close to her heart, including The Women’s Initiative and UVA Children’s Hospital.

Connected to the Land. Proven in the Market. Charlottesville Native.
