About Us

Rooted in Harrisonburg. Dedicated to Service.

Rocktown Realty has deep roots in Harrisonburg — a place once known as “Rocktown” for the massive amounts of limestone in the area. Since 2010, we’ve helped Harrisonburg residents, students, and property owners find homes they love and management they can trust through professional property management, rental services, and real estate expertise.

As a licensed brokerage in the Commonwealth of Virginia, we also help people buy and sell homes throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Whether you’re looking for your first apartment near JMU, a new home across town, or want to grow your investment portfolio, our local team is here to make the process simple and stress-free.

What Our Customers Say

As an owner of a townhouse in Hunters Ridge, we would recommend Rocktown Realty to owners and tenants. We have seen them improve the overall community image by updating units throughout the community as well as the grounds. They seem to take great pride in the property they manage.

Owner in Hunters Ridge

Rocktown Realty has been a wonderful property management partner who helped us rent out our home. They are patient, proactive, thoughtful, and communicative partners who helped us every step of the way. Probably the most outstanding aspect of their business is their communication. Thank you for running such a great business and for making this difficult and intimidating process easier for us. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

Wiley

Julie and Donna make you feel like family when you lease from them. The atmosphere alone when you walk into Rocktown Realty makes you want to stay and talk, and you truly get to feel as if they’re your friends. Not only are the apartments tremendous, but the organization and leadership they provide is better than any other apartment complex I have rented from.

Tenant

I just wanted to take a moment to say how pleased I have been with Rocktown Realty since they have taken over the Griffin Lane Subdivision HOA. I feel that our needs are now finally being met quickly and efficiently. I'm truly grateful for the avenues of communication they have provided, and I feel much more comfortable as a homeowner on Griffin Lane now. I know that if a problem arises, I can trust Rocktown to handle it. Thank you!

Mike S.,

It was a pleasure to work Rocktown Realty and we would not hesitate to work with them again and will recommend Bernard, Julie, and Rocktown very highly every chance we get. I have worked with many realtors over the years. The most recent of which was for commercial properties (which should actually be more business oriented), but I really found your extremely professional and accessible, no nonsense, business is business approach to be really refreshing in comparison to the rest.

Shellie S., Owner

I have had Rocktown Realty manage the rental of our unit on Bradley Drive since earlier this year. Julie Hamann has helped us make positive upgrades to our unit, making it more desirable to renters. She worked very hard to find us renters for our unit despite the fact that we had none up until July. This was due to the neglect of our previous rental management company and the current Harrisonburg rental market.

Robert, Owner

Since I have moved in, Rocktown Realty has handled all of my disputes in a timely and professional manner. I'm very happy with my residence and they only keep making it better! Thank you!

Tenant

I wish every rental place was like Rocktown Realty — always there when something breaks or when something is wrong regarding roommate situations or the apartment. They’re also understanding with other situations. Thank you very much for all the hospitality and a great first experience with renting an apartment!

Natalie, Tenant
