Why SRES and Charlottesville do mix!

Why SRES and Charlottesville do mix!

Charlottesville Senior Real Estate Specialist

SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) is a designation given to agents who have training to work with the 55+ real estate clients. Since the baby boomers are becoming more and more tech savvy, working with this group of clients is critical for most agents.

Not all agents undergo this training but maybe they should (at lease consider it).

The beauty of Charlottesville Real Estate is that we offer so many options for clients looking to relocate as well as clients who are looking to retire to our area. No I am not talking about retirement communities, I am talking about a healthy lifestyle and an area where there are activities for active adults!

Come visit Charlottesville and see what others have found. There is a quality of life (we all deserve) and Charlottesville fits that need!!!

I am looking forward to meeting you,

Charles

Virginia Aviation Museum

Virginia Aviation Museum

Virginia Aviation Museum

We just returned from a trip and flew from Richmond Virginia. We had a few extra minutes so we stopped at the Virginia Aviation Museum. They have over 30 historic vintage aircraft.

Including a reproduction of the Wright’s 1903 Flyer and a SR-71 spy plane!

Virginia Aviation Museum

They even have the luxurious 1936 Vultee V1-AD once owned by William Randolph Hearst.

Open daily, except Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Located in front of the Richmond Airport.

Well worth the trip if you are traveling this way!

Are you looking at Crozet Real Estate consider Grayrock

Looking at Crozet Real Estate consider Grayrock

Crozet is located west of Charlottesville and offers several neighborhoods with Blue Ridge views. One just place is Grayrock. This area is as close to the mountains as you can get. Many homes actually back up to the Blue Ridge. Not to mention that the colors are amazing this week.

Let us know if you have any questions?

Charlottesville Virginia where New Construction is still affordable

Yes, affordable and the quality is amazing too. We used a local builder and not a "box" builder for this fine home. My clients, who work at DIA (see NGIC Real Estate) are very exciting to move into their new home this weekend.

This home was on time and on budget, an amazing thing when building these days.

If you are considering building, give me a call.

Bad MLS Photos… are you serious?

I can not believe these photos are in our local MLS. Now I am not going to mention the agent or the property.

I do think that if this is the best you can do, you need to hire a photographer. In fact agents if this is the best you can do, call me and I will take some better photos for you at no charge….

Bad MLS photo

These photos was posted directly from our local MLS with no touchups…

I know that Charlottesville Real Estate agents are under the gun these days. But lets put our best foot forward when trying to sell a property.

Doing the best we can for our clients is so important in this market!

NOTE: These are just my opinions and I want to re-iterate that I am not pointing fingers and that I am not mentioning the agent or the property.
