So close to the Blue Ridge you can throw a rock and hit it. Old Trail should be on your list of places to see when looking at Charlottesville Real Estate. With townhomes and single family homes in a walk-able neighborhood, Old Trail is a unique place to live.

The schools are in walking distance as well as shops and even golf...

 

Come visit Charlottesville and Old Trail, you will be glad you did.

A great post from my friend in Charlottesville

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!

 

We are Open today from 11am - 2pm...

Get your agent to bring you by or just call one of us!

Charles is right on with this!

Via Charlottesville Real Estate - Your Trusted Broker Charles McDonald (RE/MAX Assured Properties - No one sells more Real Estate):

There has been a change to our MLS data at CAAR (Charlottesville Association of REALTORS) and I for one think it is a good idea.

Many agents where "duplicating" listings in our MLS to try to get better exposure. The integrity of our data was jeopardized as we may see a large for listed for $3,000,000 - $5,000,000 entered into our MLS as a "Farm" and again as a "Residential".

Below is the announcment from our local association, as as they are most of the time, CAAR is right on the money!

Charlottesville Farm

Property Type "Farm" Removed from Residential Category

(Effective September 16, 2009) To help with data integrity and property searches, the property type "farm" has been removed from the Residential category. Many properties were listed twice in the same category by manipulating address data, which skews inventory and statistics. Members were also concerned about the public missing searches for farm properties, even though farms showed up automatically in Residential searches unless specifically excluded.

 

I for one want to see accurate data and this is a big step in the right direction.

 

 

Charles and I are pleased to present this fine home.

 

Via Charlottesville Real Estate - Your Trusted Broker Charles McDonald (RE/MAX Assured Properties - No one sells more Real Estate):

Home inspired by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

VIRTUAL TOUR is a Must see!

With a "NEW" Custom designed kitchen by a culinary expert, 7 added windows and skylights, this spectacular home on over 4 acres is a must see.

The home presents such details as heated concrete flooring, multi-level tray ceilings with stained oak trim, and corner windows with 180 degree views. Kitchen with Miele "Master Chef" cooktop and appliances.

The details in this home make it a true work-of-art.

This is an excellent post and agents should really understand this!

Via Charlottesville Real Estate - Your Trusted Broker Charles McDonald (RE/MAX Assured Properties - No one sells more Real Estate):

 

Schools

Schools – It may sound vague when an agent talks about schools but Buyer and Listing agents can not "steer" a client to or from a school.  

Crime – I hear it all the time, how is the crime in this area. Again an agent will be vague and refer you to a website or the police dept.  Crime

Race and Religion - Who lives in this neighborhood. This is a biggie. Think about this for a minute, agents can not give you a cross reference of nationalities or religion in an area. We can not even tell you if there are a lot of kids in a neighborhood. We will say something like "well, when we drive around, let's see if there are play-sets and bicycles".  

Sex-offenders/Megan's Law – We actually write this one into our contracts, giving you a place to look for this information, but as an agent, we can not do this for you.

This is why I have links to pertinent information on my Charlottesville VA Real Estate website

Best regards

SIGN, SIGN everywhere a SIGN!!!

SIGN, SIGN everywhere a SIGN!!! Blocking out the scenery, blowing my mind….. (I think those are the words).   ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

We have Real Estate Signs, Open House Sign

and Election Signs….

This is a lot of Signs for a small town like Charlottesville Virginia. At this time of year more signs are popping up.  

These are :  

Painting Service Signs  

Garage Sale Signs  

and the latest are Closet Installation Signs…..  

So services are now putting these on our roadways!

This is too many signs in our area! (in my opinion).   What are your thoughts?
