Siebert Realty: Anchored in History

Following the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which damaged many structures located along the coast of Virginia, many owners in the Sandbridge Beach area realized that there was a need for someone to check on their family vacation homes when they were unable to make the journey themselves. That’s where the story of incredible, local property managers begins in Sandbridge.

My grandfather, Jack W. Siebert, became a Real Estate Broker in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1963 and co-founded Warren, Siebert, Page Realty in Norfolk, VA not long after in 1964. Although Warren, Siebert, Page was not the very first nor the only property manager in the Sandbridge area, they still wanted to make owning property on that small stretch of beach a breeze when owners were away!

In 1973, Jack decided to establish a branch office at Sandbridge Beach to be more accessible in the area. The business operated as Warren, Siebert, Page until Jack along with his wife and business partner, Jean, rebranded the business as Siebert Realty in 1980. Embracing the unique friendliness of Sandbridge, Jack and Jean wove this culture into a business that created the mission of providing guests with great memories, owners with excellence, team members with camaraderie, and doing it all with integrity and great fun!

Since 1980, Siebert Realty has been one of the leading property managers in Virginia Beach. Jack and Jean’s ability to look ahead to the future and consider what is best for our owners, guests, and community members has set us apart from the competition. Each member of Team Siebert understands the core values that Siebert Realty has and brings individualized expertise to provide superior service. As a property manager, we realize that properties are valuable investments as well as precious pieces of family history and we are proud to offer exceptional management services that reflect that respect and understanding.

Although my father, Patrick Keenan, worked at Siebert Realty for many years while growing up in Sandbridge, he began working alongside his mother, Jean, in 2003. Since 2003, he moved naturally from the role of Maintenance Supervisor, to General Manager, and finally took over as Owner and President of Siebert Realty in 2019 after the passing of Jean that April. Patrick continues to uphold the values and mission on which Jean and Jack based their business and has grown it to what it is today! Patrick’s sister, Joanne Keenan Young, and I both work as part of Team Siebert and are unendingly proud of the environment that Jack, Jean, and Patrick have cultivated over the past 60 years.

Being a locally owned, multi-generational, family business has given us the opportunity to serve owners and guests like no one else in the Sandbridge area. Siebert Realty is personal and intentional with our owners and their homes’ history. We provide the expertise and knowledge of the unique market that Sandbridge provides in the vacation industry, and we are proud of our legacy in southern Virginia Beach. We are grateful for the opportunities that Sandbridge has provided to us, and we will aim to continue to do right by our owners, guests, and community in the years to come.
