McCormick Observatory

In 1885, when the McCormick Observatory was dedicated on Thomas Jefferson’s birthday (April 13), the 26-inch refractor telescope was the second largest in the world. On the first and third Friday of each month, the Observatory is open to the public for two hours. When the weather is nice, expect a long line.

Some interesting facts about the Charlottesville area!

FACT: Virginia is known as "the birthplace of the nation" and "The Old Dominion"

FACT: The "dogwood" is the state flower and the cardinal is the state bird of the "Old Dominion"

FACT: Sellers, If your home is not shown on this site then your broker does not share listing. By not allowing this free exchange of information, your home is not being seen by thousands of potential buyers.

FACT: Don’t let the home you want to buy dictate the real estate agent you work with. Have proper representation!

FACT: Charles is a top buyers agent and broker for Charlottesville Real Estate, a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and licensed to sell Real Estate in the Commonwealth of Virginia

FACT: CHARLES is a member of the CAAR Professional Honor Society, is an "Accredited Buyer Representative - ABR®" the designation which is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation

FACT: Charles also is a Senior Real Estate Specialist - SRES®, qualified to handle transactions for "Baby Boomers" looking to relocate, downsize and buy that second home.

FACT: Virginia is a "caveat emptor" State. Use a "Trusted Buyers Agent" and know your rights!

If you think we are in a down market then this may be the best time to buy Real Estate. Ask me why!

When looking for homes or land in Charlottesville Virginia, Albemarle County, Nelson County, Greene County, Madison County or Fluvanna County remember to contact me in advance, before your visit so that we can setup a tour schedule. These are just some of the fine areas to consider and as a buyers agent in Charlottesville, I feel it is my job to show you all areas and Charlottesville real estate that fit your needs!

When you are walking down a sidewalk do you ever wonder who else has walked there?

Below is a photo of a sidewalk I took at the University of Virginia. These walkways were designed by Thomas Jefferson and built by his architects. There have been literally millions of feet on these walkways and many famous people.

Jefferson most likely and even people like Edgar Allen Poe (who attended the University)...

Uva Sidewalk

Oh yes and your Charlottesville Real Estate Agent, Charles McDonald has even walked these sidewalks!

Next time you are in a historic area, think about who may have walked where you are.

It will widen your perspective!

UVA

We certainly have an area that is in high demand for decent real estate and The University of Virgina (UVA) is one of the main reasons. See below:

The University of Virginia continues its strong showing in the annual rankings of America's Best Colleges published today by U.S. News & World Report magazine.

U.Va. remains tied – this year with the University of California-Los Angeles – for second among all public universities and is tied for 24th among all universities, both public and private.

Both Harvard (tied with Princeton) and the University of California-Berkeley retained their No. 1 rankings as best overall national university and best public university.

The University has ranked either first or second among publics since 1992 and has ranked among the top 25 nationally since the first U.S. News rankings came out in 1988.

(This photo was taken by Charles McDonald during one of his many tours of UVA. These walls were designed by Jefferson)
