In appreciation for the work you do for the people of the Charlottesville/Central Virginia area, I am now offering an incentive for you to help you with the sale of your home and/or the purchase of your new home.
I will discount my normal commission for you on the house you are selling to help you save on the sale of your home. Whether you’re selling a home or buying your first home, I will offer you a rebate on my commission I earn on the purchase of your home and apply it toward your closing costs to help you at closing.
There are no strings attached. While I have never been in the public service, I have friends and family who have benefited from your service and expertise. I appreciate the hard work you put into your careers and know civil servants don’t always make the highest salaries for the work they do.
Please call or email me with any questions – 434-242-7140.
CAAR’s Workforce Housing Fund (no longer available) is one aspect of the community’s recognition of this crisis. Hopefully my little drop in the bucket will help.
From the “Credit where Credit is Due” department: I was inspired by Marty Martin’s post (archived: 2010).
Update 8/1/6: Article in today’s DP about local affordability issues/regulations (no longer available).
