The Real Estate Handoff...

Why did I refer you to another agent?
(The Real Estate Handoff)

When you contacted me you were looking for a specific type of property in a certain area. Well I want you to know that that is not my expertise. However I know the agent you need to work with.

I am not brushing you off at all, I am looking out for your best interests. I have learned over the years that clients will respect you more if you give them "full service" and sometimes full service is letting go of a commission in the best interests of the client.

It amazes me how so many agents try to be all things to all people. How can you sell a condo in Charlottesville one day, land in Louisa County the next day and then turn around and list a commercial building at Zion's Crossroads?

The good news is that I have several excellent agents who are "experts" if you are looking for, as an example, "Land in Louisa"....

The key here my friend is to work with an "expert" in an area. Does it make any sense to work with an agent who lives in Fluvanna to show you farms or estates 2 counties away?

Remember, if I am not the expert in an area I will be the first to tell you so! But be assured that my group of experts are all available to help you with your search!

Any questions about Charlottesville Real Estate , Albemarle County and the surrounding areas, just let me know?

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

I know there is a lot going on with the financial market mess and the housing market crisis. But the one thing we have learned over time is that things do get better. We have had tough times before and we always make it though....

above are some "words of wisdom" from FDR that are very appropriate today!

Forget the news, consult with an expert...

If you read (and listen to the news) you would think the market is not moving at all. Well for Charlottesville Real Estate that just is not true!

I just closed on the above home. It is fabulously finished with grand details. Full finished terrace level with theater area, rec-room and additional bed and bath.

I for one am a little tired of the "talking heads" on the news telling us how bad things are and that we have to do this or that....

Do not believe the news, talk to an expert in your area!
