I love opening The Roanoker Magazine to read the articles and see people I know, like and trust featured on the pages. This month, it's truly an honor to be featured with two of my colleagues in The Roanoker Magazine's 2026 Faces Of Virginia’s Blue Ridge. The July / August 2026 magazine can be found on newsstands now or check out the link below featuring First Bank - The Face Of Community Banking and other great organizations and professionals in our beloved community.

"At First Bank, we believe banking is more than just transactions. It's a people business. As a true community bank, we combine the resources and capabilities customers respect with the personal service and local decision making they deserve. Our team members live, work, volunteer, and raise their families in the same communities we serve, giving us a deep understanding of the people businesses, and organizations that make this such a special place

What truly differentiates us is our relationship-first approach. Our customers aren't account numbers, they're neighbors, business owners, community leaders, and families we know personally. Decisions are made locally, by people who understand our area and who are invested in the success of our communities. At the end of the day, people choose First Bank because they want a banking relationship built on trust, accessibility, and genuine care. We don't just serve our communities -- we are part of them, and we are committed to helping them thrive. That's a difference our customers experience every day.

What sets First Bank apart is our commitment to being accessible, responsive, and relationship driven. When customers walk through our doors, they are greeted by people who know their names, understand their goals, and are empowered to make decisions locally. Whether we're helping a family buy their first home, supporting a small business as it grows, or partnering with local non-profits to strengthen our communities, we take pride in being your financial partner, through every stage."

Open House - Saturday, April 11th from 9am - 11am, and Sunday, April 12th from 1:00 - 3:00. Located at 77 Gloucester Ct Troutville, VA 24175. Hosted by Shanan FiGart Willis, Realtor at Willis & Company Auctions.
Welcome to a truly exceptional residence offering over 6,800 square feet of finely appointed living space with two free-standing garages on more than two acres in one of the region’s most luxurious neighborhoods.
The home features five bedrooms, three with its own en-suite bath, plus two half baths thoughtfully placed for guests. The main-level primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a private enclosed patio for quiet morning coffee or evening relaxation. Upstairs, a secondary suite and a private guest suite tucked away off the kitchen provide flexibility for family and visitors alike.
Designed for both formal entertaining and everyday living, the home boasts a gracious dining room, inviting living room, and a cozy library. A spacious kitchen with adjoining breakfast room and sunroom serves as the heart of the home, while a large mudroom and laundry room off the garage add convenience and comfort. There is also an expansive full finished basement with full bath, fireplace and room to grow!
Car collectors, hobbyists, or those needing extra storage will appreciate the garages: an attached drive-under, plus two freestanding garages — one with a workshop and one with an attached patio complete with recessed lighting and ceiling fans for comfortable entertaining or relaxing. Both garages have unfinished upstairs spaces offering endless potential. Outdoors, the property invites gatherings around the fire pit, surrounded by landscaped grounds that create both privacy and beauty.
This remarkable home is more than a residence — it is a rare chance to secure a lifestyle of prestige and distinction in a neighborhood where opportunities seldom arise.
