charlottesville va real estate agent virginia gardner: Gardening for the Birds, Bees, and Butterflies in Charlottesville
- 06/26/11 05:19 AM
Most of our time away from our businesses, our "home time", is spent in our gardens here in Earlysville, Virginia. Since building our home twenty-one years ago, Stephen has focused on creating vegetable gardens, and I have invested my creative time building perennial gardens. We've always had a bird feeder or two, but a year or so ago, Stephen developed more of an interest in our bird population. He began buying specific feeds for specific birds and really paying closer attention to our avian friends. In turn, I began paying more attention to my flowers gardens, and I've been adding bird-bee-butterfly-attractors … (6 comments)

charlottesville va real estate agent virginia gardner: Mr. Seller, do you know where your listing is NOT being seen?
- 02/22/11 08:16 AM
I hear agents fuss a lot about the way their listings are being viewed all over the web. I don't mean listings that are sent by aggregate to all of the various Yahoos, Zillow's, Trilia's and others. I mean, I hear a lot of fussing going on when an agent pulls up another agent's website, particularly when it's a different real estate company, and there is the picture of their new listing, with the address, maybe a short description, and the price. Somtimes there will be an MLS number. In Charlottesville, we can do this. I think most Boards of Realtors … (3 comments)
charlottesville va real estate agent virginia gardner: Have you had your plumbing checked lately?
- 02/12/11 01:00 AM
Our house is twenty years old this year. We built it, and I think we did a pretty good job making materials selections, considering our budget at the time. We designed the house so it could be updated pieces at a time. For example, we really wanted a particular stone mason to build our fireplace, so we installed carpeted floors. We upgraded to wood ten years later, something we obviously would not have been able to do with the fireplace.
