About Our Agency
Initial Inspiration
The origin and inspiration first begins with Sarah McNeely, a Bridgeport High School alumni, earning her Undergraduate and Masters Degrees in Counseling at West Virginia University. She spent several years at a local school district as a student counselor, but later discovered a new career path opportunity regarding her passion for real estate. She previously served as a top-level Salesperson and REALTOR® for the Homefinder's Plus agency in Bridgeport, West Virginia since 2015. As she gained experience helping clients, a new opportunity emerged for her and her husband to spin off and start their own agency.

Additional Support
Tim McNeely, a West Virginia University Law degree graduate, practiced law as an attorney for Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe in Charleston, West Virginia for several years. After serving as general counsel and deputy director under Governor Bob Wise's administration, he worked as Executive Tournament Director alongside Governor Jim Justice, The Greenbrier Resort and the PGA Tour for the Greenbrier Class tournament. His sports experience led him to a noteworthy Athletic Director and Vice President at Fairmont State University. He pursued a new path of obtaining his Broker license in 2021 to join his wife Sarah in a new business venture - a real estate brokerage.
A New Chapter
The McNeely Realty Group real estate agency was born in early 2021 out of a love for the real estate industry and helping the community. The group was formed as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. During this time, Tim and Sarah were able to focus on what really matters to them the most. Like all families, they were spending a lot of time together and began discussing what type of work they wanted to pursue for the rest of their lives. Together, the two formed a new agency named McNeely Realty Group, Inc., growing steadily to several new agents during each year of successful operation.
Organic Growth
Since it's inception, Tim and Sarah's vision is to steadily maintain organic growth for their brokerage, using dynamic scalability based on the industry, community involvement and local agent saturation. The great Salespersons and principal Broker happily serve with their own unique skill-set and background to help clientele throughout the North Central West Virginia Region. Their core focus is to help residential buyers and sellers primarily, but as agent skill-sets expand, they are open to offering additional commercial and property management services to their business. Both Tim and Sarah participate and advocate for basic and advanced training, state-wide volunteer opportunities and local area community involvement.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide exceptional service by delivering a high-quality real estate experience for all clients. We ensure that all clients are treated with dignity and respect. Our goal is to connect buyers and sellers for a successful transaction that meets their individual needs.
