Around the World & Here in Virginia
We are Chris & Debbie Cloud, known around Northern Fauquier as The CLOUD Difference (a strategic consulting team working in Northern Virginia). We consult around the world and handle real property deals here in Virginia. Our worldly experience includes general managers, project management, business administration, hospitality, property management, investment properties, estate management, and commercial real estate.

Greater Piedmont is built with creative country commercial real estate ventures weaved through the local residents to support the vitality and individuality of this local area. Crossing over Thorough Fare Gap there needs to be a sign posted “Beyond Here Be Dragons!” The dedicated Piedmont lifestyle is not for the faint of heart.
Our clients seek a special niche to set up shop, invest or call home. The back roads of the Greater Piedmont and unique locales provide the canvas to expand on the Virginian “Hidden Charm”!

Chris & Debbie work with a select group of clients and their specific real estate interests. Our expertise in the full spectrum of real estate lends our unique touch and dedication to our client’s projects. Debbie started working in the real estate profession back in 1987, and received her license the first time in 1989. Chris had worked in yacht/estate/island management since 1994 and received his real estate license in 2017.

Chris & Debbie Cloud, The CLOUD Difference is a real estate team at the brokerage United Real Estate Horizon located in Warrenton, Virginia. Broker Loni Colvin is absolutely the best there is and an amazing resource. We joined Greater Piedmont Realtors because we believe strongly in the code of ethics and standards of the association. Debbie has completed all her brokerage licensing classes and is finalizing the licensing process. We work out of our home office in Marshall, Virginia.
What makes us different from others is our vast experience that lends value to any real estate transaction. Anyone can buy and sell. We bring much more to the table.
That is The CLOUD Difference.
