Jeffrey P. Geiger

"I enjoy being the quarterback of a team of real estate professionals charged with obtaining land use entitlements to realize a vision and economic opportunity."

Jeff obtains a variety of land use approvals for developers, businesses, institutions and landowners in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover and other jurisdictions.  He brings his political, economic and technical background to bear as he guides clients through the complex layers of governmental land use entitlements, a process that is dominated by competing and conflicting interests.  Jeff uses creativity to overcome apparent regulatory obstacles to development and redevelopment that does not neatly fit in the zoning ordinance.

Jeff also understands the commercial real estate industry.  He counsels clients on deal structure, contract negotiations, development and redevelopment, financing and dispositions through sales or leasing.  Jeff understands the business decisions his clients have to make and the information they need to make those decisions.

Jeff is a life-long Redskins fan who cannot wait for the Snyder era to end.  His wife Kristy has only known the Snyder era and keeps asking when the team will be good.  The team’s performance is not helping Jeff raise two new fans in Archer (7) and Brantley (3).  Outside of raising two energetic boys, Jeff enjoys yoga, golf and keeping abreast of political news and trends.  After college, Jeff worked on Capitol Hill and on political campaigns.  The Geiger family enjoys spending time at Lake Anna, OBX and cheering on the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
