Virginia Realtors names 2026 president

Glen Allen-based Virginia Realtors, which bills itself as the state’s largest trade association, announced Friday that it has named Richmond broker Curt Reichstetter as its 2026 President.

He was installed as president-elect on Wednesday night in downtown Richmond. On Dec. 1, he will succeed current Virginia Realtors President Lorraine Arora.

Virginia Realtors represents nearly 35,000 Realtors and sends out monthly home sales tracking reports for the state.

“I am honored to step into the role of Virginia Realtors president,” Reichstetter said in a statement. “In 2026, our association will push for smart, practical solutions that help cut red tape and open doors to new housing opportunities — because when families can find homes they can afford, our communities and economy grow stronger.”

Reichstetter has more than 30 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate and has held numerous leadership roles at local, state and national levels. He was previously Virginia Realtors’ vice president in 2024, treasurer in 2023 and has been a member of the state board of directors since 2018.

He also served as president of the Richmond Association of Realtors in 2019. He represents Virginia at the national level on the Realtors Political Action Committee’s participation committee.

He and his wife, Heather, own and operate Two Dog Realty Group, a real estate brokerage in Richmond.

In addition to Reichstetter, the association’s 2026 leadership team will include Arora as immediate past president, Sherry Maser of Chesapeake as president-elect, Diron Clements from Danville as vice president and Chandra Patterson of Newport News as treasurer.
