Jonathan “Jon” Bibbs is an emerging leader in the real estate world as Founder and Senior Real Estate Advisor at CSG – a real estate sales team in Richmond, VA. Bibbs arrives in the industry armed with extensive executive experience stemming from his role as CEO of Richmond Prep, an independent Christian school within the city. At the helm of Richmond Prep since 2008, Bibbs has honed and refined his skills in branding, marketing and communication. Aside from his new venture at CSG and his ongoing role at Richmond Prep, Bibbs is widely known throughout the East Coast for his work as a recording artist, singer, songwriter and producer.
In 2017 Bibbs was appointed by Mayor Levar Stoney to the Richmond 300 Advisory Council. The Council, which was mandated by the Commonwealth of Virginia, provided oversight to the city’s master planning process between 2017 and 2020. The council’s work and the resulting plan produced were recognized nationally with great acclaim. “Richmond 300: A Guide for Growth” received the American Planning Association’s most prestigious recognition, the Daniel Burnham Award for comprehensive planning in 2021.
Bibbs credits his involvement as a member of the Richmond 300 Advisory Council as a major motivation behind his interest in the real estate industry. “Being a part of the conversation about land use in our city was a revealing experience,” Bibbs says. “After three years of listening and learning in council meetings and community consultations about everything from home affordability to parking limitations, I found a new and deep interest in the real estate industry and its capacity to contribute to the common good. Hence my team’s name: CSG | Commonwealth Solutions Group.”
Jonathan and the CSG team are already making a significant impact in the central Virginia real estate landscape. The CSG team, which was established in Q4 of 2021 already has several million dollars in real estate transactions in escrow for Q1 of 2022. “Integrity, information, and innovation are at the core of who we strive to be at CSG,” Bibbs said. “Our goal is to make an impact in our community every single day. Whether we are educating, managing transactions, investing, or consulting – all of us at CSG strive to foster growth and opportunity in our community for all people.”
In February of 2021, Bibbs was recognized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Black History Museum of Virginia as one of 5 “Community Makers” honorees. According to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the 2021 Community Makers honorees were honored through mixed media public art murals commissioned by the museum in recognition of their significant contributions to central Virginia in their various fields of expertise.
