About

I'm Emily Berry, a Realtor® with OWN Real Estate serving Chesapeake and Hampton Roads. I'm a Boone, North Carolina native who now calls Chesapeake home, and I pair hard-working ambition with a warm, family-first heart — and a good sense of humor along the way. I share my life with my husband TJ, our 5-year-old daughter, and our chocolate Lab, Paxley, and I treat every client like family too.
