Charlottesville Virginia is the number one place to retire according to Kiplinger!
Striking a balance between a high quality of life and low cost of living can be a difficult challenge for retirees. With that in mind, we offer five destinations that seniors might find attractive places to live in the second half of their lives.
Charlottesville, Va.
City Population: 41,225
Metro Population: 196,766
Cost-of-Living Index: 107.5 (national average = 100)
Median Household Income: $56,833
Income-Tax Exemptions: No state tax on Social Security benefits; income deductions of up to $12,000 for residents 65 and older, subject to income-eligibility limits
Proximity to Airport: Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (10 miles from downtown)
Home of Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia, Charlottesville is a charming Southern city with an impressive array of cultural draws. Several prime art museums and a pedestrian mall can be found in the city’s neo-Classical downtown, while the Monticello Wine Trail and Shenandoah National Park are close by. It's also two hours from Washington, D.C.

A beautiful morning in Charlottesville and we are seeing some great homes on the market. Take a look at this photo and click here for details. Now that the price is reduced it is a great value in a wonderful area of Ivy.
Some are telling me that our
Charlottesville Real Estate market is slow and I have to say it is just different. My activity is at a constant flow right now and that is a nice pace during the last days of summer.

Not so fast…..
But there are talks/rumors that it could happen and this would be a good thing for
Scottsville and for
Fine Scottsville homes for sale. Think about the need for housing….
Here is an article from the Daily Progress in Charlottesville
Laird & Co., which has a distillery in North Garden and a bottling facility in New Jersey, is interested in moving its bottling operations to Virginia, and the company has been eyeing the vacant Scottsville site.
“Somewhere near Charlottesville would be the ideal location, since our distillery is there … if we were ever to do it,” Laird’s president, Larrie W. Laird, said.

This morning I am off to meet a tree expert to "fell a few trees" on a clients property.
We will be building soon and it is better to take care of these trees now before they become a bigger issue.
I think real estate involves a lot more than just putting a sign in a yard!
Enjoy the fine weather!

The word(s) of the day is "NEW CONSTRUCTION"!!!
This morning, while enjoying a cup of coffee and looking at current listings, we are seeing a few places that are stunning and one is a new construction that I have listed.
Working with clients who want to build is an exciting part of my business. Many people do not realize that the person at a sales office or the builder's agent work for the best interests of the builder.
If you are building, a good buyers agent can not only save you thousands of dollars, they can also save you a lot of frustration during the process of building a home.
I love new Construction in
Charlottesville and so do many of my clients!
Enjoy the fine weather!

Why Charlottesville looks to REMAX year after year?
NOTICE: I joined RE/MAX in 2008 and it was a great decision!
(read more)
RE/MAX Assured Properties is independently owned and part of the RE/MAX franchise. They are highly respected and some of the finest agents in our area. This is one of the main reasons I joined RE/MAX, but there are others.
RE/MAX is a company that is recognized worldwide and the Real Estate business is becoming a global business. This is a good move if you expect business from other areas of the country and the world.
RE/MAX offers it's agents incredible training and opportunities. Any agent (worth their weight in salt) keeps up with education and trends. This is critical for any agent working with buyers and/or sellers.
I am glad to be associated with such a fine group of agents and I look forward to the many challenges ahead in the new year!
In 2009 we out sold all offices in our area with number of transactions. We are on track for the same in 2010!

Drinking a cup of coffee and looking at some great deal in Charlottesville Real Estate.
As our market starts to slow at the end of summer I can not help but remind my buyers that this is the time to start looking for a deal. In fact,
Winter is even better.
Sellers are more motivated
, if they are on the market in the
winter, they usually have to sell and my favorite reason is that the trees have dropped their leaves.
Why is this a good reason?….. Because you can actually see what is around a property.
Call or email me if you need anything, Charles

It seems like my agent is dancing around my questions. Why is this? Schools – It may sound vague when an agent talks about schools but Buyer and Listing agents can not “steer” a client to or from a school. Crime – I hear it all the time, how is the crime in this area. Again

Of course I can help.
Some time ago, I seat up the capability to do a one-click search based on schools
If you want to see home searches for other schools, just click on the photo above. I also have additional information available.
I was asked to do a home search from a client and added it to my site. If you want any additional features, just let me know.
I love a challenge

When dealing with Charlottesville Real Estate the deal is never done until you finish at the closing table.
Today we had a nice walk-though at a home on a lake in Albemarle and then off to closing.
Everything went smoothly at the closing table and my clients will be moving in tomorrow!
Live is good in Charlottesville
