About Abby Slate

Abby began her real estate career in 2004, quickly rising to become a top producer. After taking a professional hiatus, she returned to real estate more equipped than ever to serve her clients. Her time away was spent building a highly successful career in marketing and brand management with leading direct-to-consumer e-commerce companies in the culinary, beauty, luxury, and home product sectors. This chapter in her journey sharpened her skills in negotiation, and customer service—skills that now directly benefit her real estate clients.

Her broader career experience has deepened her understanding of what makes properties and investments stand out, enabling her to approach real estate with fresh perspectives and innovative strategies. Abby’s ability to listen, analyze market trends, and create impactful strategies ensures her clients’ success in even the most competitive markets.

A lifelong equestrian and proud volleyball mom, Abby has an unparalleled understanding of everything from rural and equestrian properties to city dwellings downtown. Her personal experiences with various property types—from owning a horse farm in Rapidan, VA, to modern urban homes and vacation retreats—have given her a deep appreciation for the unique needs of her clients. This versatility allows her to seamlessly connect buyers with properties that fit their lifestyles, from downtown Charlottesville's vibrant neighborhoods to picturesque farms in rural Virginia.

Abby’s personal journey has further enriched her practice. She has lived overseas in Australia, traveled extensively across Asia, the South Pacific, and Europe, and managed complex international and cross-country relocations. Her personal experiences with diverse property types—from a horse farm in Rapidan, VA, to urban townhomes, oceanfront homes, and international residences—have given her an unmatched versatility and a deep appreciation for the varied needs of her clients.

Currently residing in Crozet, Abby actively manages her own investment properties and stays engaged in her community through Western Albemarle High School, the Boar’s Head Sports Club, and her daughter’s travel volleyball team.
