homes: Sold in 7 days (multiple offers) Charlottesville Virginia - 07/15/08 08:24 AM
When I take on a new listing, my client and I have a long conversation about market conditions, the true value of their home, the condition of the home, inventory and marketing in our area.
Many times I get a call from a homeowner that is not having any success with selling their home and they ask me to take on the challenge.
This is the case in this nice little home just North of Charlottesville:
My new clients had been on the market since last December and they were extremely frustrated. They had very few showings and no offers.

There are so many wonderfui homes in Charlottesville and a little snow on the ground makes them just shine! Each home has it own charactor and charm and some homes you can just imagine sitting by a fire on a cool winter night!
When looking at a home in the snow you should remember that all the snow will (at some time) melt and in the Spring you will be treated to a landscape that will make your eyes pop!
Today the snow started to melt and the roads are cleared (but still a little slippery). Notice the Blue Ridge in the background … (12 comments)

This week I was our showing land in and around Charlottesville (Albemarle, Fluvanna and Nelson Counties). When showing land I not only go out in my truck, but I also wear my mud boots because we are going to walk some interesting property lines.

The vehicle that you drive does say a lot about you and your business.
I live in Charlottesville Virginia and I sell Homes, Land, Farms and Estates!
I drive a Truck and that puts out a certain image. Most people are very comfortable with a Truck that has a Crew Cab. Not to mention that when showing Land I often am in 4WD and driving properties.
When you see me driving down the road you can very quickly see that I am in Real Estate. There are several clues!
First of all, I do have a REALTOR® Licence Plate.

I went to our local CAAR (Charlottesville Association of REALTOR®) this morning for yet another day of class. As many of you know I am in the final stretch of my Brokers License.

This was what I saw on the street when driving into CAAR. I still did not think that I captured it with my camera....

So I looked around and took this picture right over the bed of my Truck:
