About Dare

Dare Tulloch, Associate Broker | REALTOR®

Long & Foster Real Estate | Village of Midlothian

Dare Tulloch is an award-winning Associate Broker and REALTOR® serving buyers and sellers throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland, Louisa, Lake Anna, and Central Virginia. Licensed since 2004 and affiliated with Long & Foster Real Estate, she has guided clients through more than 250 real estate transactions and generated more than $10 million in sales volume in 2025 alone.

Known for her professionalism, deep market knowledge, clear communication, and skilled negotiation, Dare helps clients make confident real estate decisions through caring guidance, proven strategy, and exceptional service.

With more than two decades of experience, Dare brings clients something that only time and hundreds of transactions can develop: the ability to anticipate challenges, recognize opportunities, evaluate options, and provide clear advice when important decisions must be made.

Whether helping someone buy a first home, sell a longtime family property, invest in real estate, relocate, downsize, or find a waterfront retreat at Lake Anna, her focus remains the same—understanding what matters to her clients, protecting their interests, and helping them achieve their goals with confidence.

The DARE Method

Dare’s approach to real estate is the foundation of The DARE Method, a caring, systematic process developed around the way she has successfully represented clients for more than two decades:

D — DISCOVER Every successful real estate strategy begins with understanding. Dare takes the time to learn what matters to each client—their goals, priorities, concerns, timing, and definition of a successful outcome.

A — ADVISE Information alone isn’t enough. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, market knowledge, and careful analysis, Dare helps clients understand their options, evaluate opportunities and risks, and make informed decisions with confidence.

R — REPRESENT Her clients’ interests come first. Dare serves as a committed advocate and skilled negotiator,

representing each client’s interests with professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail throughout the transaction.

E — EXECUTE A good strategy only works when it is executed well. From preparation and marketing to negotiations, inspections, deadlines, problem solving, and closing, Dare manages the details and keeps the process moving toward the client’s goal.

Discover. Advise. Represent. Execute.

The DARE Method is ultimately about more than completing a real estate transaction. It is about helping clients understand their choices, avoid costly mistakes, protect their interests, and make decisions they will feel good about long after closing.

Experience That Makes a Difference

Over the course of her career, Dare has successfully represented buyers and sellers across a wide range of property types, including:

· Single-family homes

· Luxury homes

· Waterfront and Lake Anna properties

· Townhomes and condominiums

· New construction

· Investment properties

· Vacation and second homes

· Farms and land

For sellers, Dare combines comprehensive market analysis, strategic pricing, property preparation, professional presentation, and targeted marketing to create strong market exposure and position each property for the best possible result. She understands that every property—and every seller’s circumstances and objectives—is different, so the strategy should be customized as well.

For buyers, Dare serves as both adviser and advocate. She helps clients look beyond the surface of a property to evaluate condition, value, location, market position, and long-term suitability before making an offer. Once a client decides to move forward, her experience, attention to detail, and negotiation skills help protect their interests throughout the transaction.

Dare regularly works with first-time home buyers, relocation clients, move-up buyers, downsizing homeowners, retirees, investors, and families navigating major life transitions.

Trusted by Clients

One of the greatest measures of Dare’s success is the trust she earns. Across hundreds of transactions, clients consistently praise her professionalism, responsiveness, market knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to navigate both straightforward and complex situations with calm confidence.

Clients frequently describe Dare as:

· Responsive and accessible

· Knowledgeable about the market

· Honest and straightforward

· A strong advocate and negotiator

· Organized and detail-oriented

· Patient, caring, and supportive

· Skilled at solving problems before they become obstacles

· Committed to making the process less stressful and more understandable

Many clients become repeat customers and refer family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers—reflecting the long-term relationships at the heart of Dare’s business.

Leadership Within the Real Estate Profession

Dare’s expertise and commitment to the real estate profession have been recognized by both clients and peers. She was named the Richmond Association of REALTORS® REALTOR® of the Year in 2025 and previously received the association’s Sales Associate of the Year Award in 2013.

In 2022, Dare served as President of both the Richmond Association of REALTORS® and Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service (CVRMLS)—a distinctive dual leadership role that reflects the trust placed in her by fellow real estate professionals.

Her professional service extends to the state and national levels. Dare has served as a Director of the National Association of REALTORS® and on NAR’s MLS Issues & Policy Committee and Leading Edge Advisory Committee.

With Virginia REALTORS®, Dare has chaired the Investment Management Committee. She also served as President of the Virginia Residential Real Estate Council, formerly the Virginia Council of Residential Specialists.

Her leadership with the Richmond Association of REALTORS® has included service with Professional Standards and leadership roles with both the Legislative Committee and RPAC Trustees.

A Nationwide Network of Trusted Professionals

Dare’s decades of involvement with local, state, and national REALTOR® organizations have also allowed her to build strong professional relationships with real estate professionals throughout Virginia and across the United States.

She regularly gives and receives referrals from trusted agents nationwide, helping clients who are relocating or purchasing property outside her market connect with experienced real estate professionals who share her commitment to service and results.

For clients, that means Dare can remain a trusted real estate resource even when their next move takes them beyond Central Virginia.
