Buying or selling your home—whether it’s the first time or the fifth—is exciting. It also can be challenging. There are many steps to remember, areas to explore, costs to consider, and preferences to determine.
The good news, you don’t have to work through it alone. We are well-versed in the Charlottesville area and will walk you through the steps of buying or selling a home.
Why Use a Local Agent?
When in Charlottesville, rely on someone who knows the area. Whether you are buying or selling a home, a local real estate agent has the best knowledge of the housing market. We understand home values in the area, know what’s trending, and have connections to services you might need.
Buying a Home
If you are buying a home, you probably have considered must-have and preferred features. How many bathrooms? How big should my yard be? Two floors or one? Then, of course, there are qualities you want in a neighborhood. What school district do you prefer? How close do you want to be to town? From work? Do you need access to public transportation? And a host of other things to consider.
As your local agent, we know what homes are available and can work with you to meet your preferences. We also know what to look for that might be a detractor, such as mold problems or roof issues. Based on your budget and the features you want, we use our knowledge of the local market to find a home that meets your needs. We have access to all active listings and often know what’s hitting the market before you do.
Our familiarity with the area also can uncover gems you didn’t know you wanted—a popular nearby playground, a great local farmer’s market, or a park with seasonal entertainment. We can help with everything from the best place for fresh produce to the friendliest coffee house in town.
As local agents, we understand what amenities are important to you in the area and can suggest homes that meet those needs.
