Show notes to come; I wanted to put up the podcast of today’s show. We got to some of the notes I prepared, but not all, and touched on quite a few more topics. I think my favorite part may be in the last 10 minutes, where I talked about how to choose a Realtor. Listen to the show here. New residential units in the Albemarle…
We’re nearing the release to the market of the Fairhill neighborhood in Crozet (mailing address is Charlottesville, schools and feel are Crozet), and this video shows what an amazing property it is. Drones are useful things, and I think there is no better way to introduce this property than with Learn more about Fairhill, or ask me about it.

This would be such a massive change to not only the City/County relationship, but how…
The 2017 market in the Charlottesville area is going to be an interesting one. They all are. The Charlottesville real estate market is going to be much less calm than the waters depicted above.
