Five Years of Real Estate Blogging

in Blogging RE Blogs Shameless Self Promotion on January 5, 2010 January 5, 2010

For my readers and clients (and potential clients) – please contact me anytime with questions about the Charlottesville regional real estate market, story suggestions, tips, I worked hard on last year’s “blog-iversary” post where I looked back at four years of blogging about the Charlottesville real estate market , so I won’t do the same this year. … I and we at Nest will just continue doing what we think is right for our clients; ” Dual Agency is not in the client’s best interest â€” it’s only in the agent’s best interest “.

It’s All Confidential

in Blogging RE Blogs on January 20, 2009 January 20, 2009

Every email, instant message, phone call, text … basically any conversation that comes about because of this blog is considered by me – the owner and operator – to be confidential. The range of questions that I receive is broad and varied, ranging from home inspection process questions to questions about specific neighborhoods to “how much should I offer …” to questions about agency – and dual agency.

If Realtor.com Can Do It, Can’t I?

in RE Blogs Technology on January 14, 2009 January 14, 2009

Just curious – If Realtor.com is displaying sold data (data apparently not available in Charlottesville – yet, bolding mine) With some areas experiencing a 25 to 39 percent decrease in home prices in the third quarter, buyers need to remain competitive in potential bidding wars. Using REALTOR.com Â®, the #1 homes for sale Web site, buyers can track price changes on homes of interest, monitor actual sales data on nearby homes within 24 hours of a sale , and get the latest photos and video tours of thousands of Southern California properties.
