albemarle: Albemarle County - Host to Charlottesville - 09/13/08 07:04 AM
I can still remember the first time I heard the name Albemarle. Not only did I mis-pronounce it, I could not spell it either.
Well the main thing to know is that Albemarle is in central Virginia and that Charlottesville is located almost exactly in the middle of Albemarle.
Home of Thomas Jefferson (his home was Monticello) and of course the University of Virginia, I beleive it is a true gem of this great country.
The city of Charlottesville has a population of approximately 40 thousand which is why we have the feel of a small town. However, we also … (5 comments)

albemarle: Wintergreen Home - 05/28/08 02:27 PM
We were driving up towards Wintergreen yesterday and decided to stop by and see this home that is on the MLS (truth is I have a client who will be building a simular home).
One thing I want you to notice is the beautiful surrounding area:
The front yard would make a great soccer field for your family and the views are just spectacular. One of the great things about being a "buyers agent in Charlottesville" is that I can show you any and all homes on the market.

albemarle: The Handoff... - 05/25/08 07:56 AM
Why did I refer you to another agent? (The 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 … (20 comments)

albemarle: Vote Early and Vote often! LOL!!! - 02/12/08 10:55 AM
Whenever we go to vote I always remember the saying "Vote Early and Vote Often"
I do not know the origin of this comment but I remember the first time I heard it. My father-in-law, who is not a real joker at all, said it and I was shocked and actually laughed out loud.
Well as my shirt tells you I voted this morning with my wife and my mother (85 years young). The great thing is we saw a couple of our neighbors that we do not see often voting too!
Voting is a right we all have and I encourage all Charlottesville, … (21 comments)

albemarle: What about those "Langoliers"? - 12/27/07 09:44 AM
I show a lot of rural property, land and homes in Albemarle county.
There are some areas in Nelson, Fluvanna and Greene counties that are seldom on the market. Before I drive out to these properties I like to give the listing agent a call and there is one question that I always ask....
What about those "Langoliers"?
I usually get a "WHAT" response and I go on to ask about those "Huge Power Lines".... Are there any visible from the property... (Most Agents will not put a picture of a Power Line in the photos of our MLS. Why would they?)
You see when … (21 comments)
