It’s amazing how often I refer to this blog in conversations with clients and even fellow agents. Here are a few of the stories I have written over the last two+ years that answer many questions real estate buyers, sellers and others may find interesting, and hopefully useful.
Top 5 Questions Home Buyers Ask … and what your Realtor can’t answer them.
Where do you search for homes in Charlottesville? There’s more than the MLS
Rolling the Dice with Buyers & Being Selective– why jumping in the car with anybody who wants to see a house is neither the most efficient nor most professional use of a Realtor’s time

Jim I was wondering if you caught the latest census estimates for our area? What do you make of the discrepancies between the census estimates and Weldon? The Census estimates have Albemarle’s population at 92K as of last july which keeps its pace of 1500 new residents a year rather steady.

Thanks!
