End of The Year Market Report for Charlottesville Region
Agent Update – Only for Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and Nelson:
Not having the membership numbers for the past several years, I omitted the “zero” column …
The number of Realtors in the Charlottesville area who have managed to do between one to five sides per year has remained fairly consistent over the past three years, with a surge at the height of the boom.
The productive Realtors seem to be suffering the most.
* To answer questions I get frequently – yes, I do make a living as a Realtor. As of this writing I am the 32nd most productive Realtor in the Charlottesville area. I hate writing that, but it’s a fact. (and our office is the 8th most productive office – not bad for a very small – ~7 agents – office)
Buyers and Sellers – when interviewing Realtors, do your due diligence and ask your prospective representation how productive they have been in the past 12 months – more on this in a later post.
Thank you sincerely for reading. Please let me know if you have any questions/comments/corrections.

I Can Think of Only a Couple Reasons to Delete Comments
