It’s been a while since we’ve played with the design, other than refinements here and there.
…Real estate signs matter . 
If you have an iPhone, these are some QR Code readers ; for you Android users, these are a few . … I’ve had questions over the years asking what I do besides write a kick-butt Charlottesville real estate blog.

Nest’s Growth is Good
The move combines two of Charlottesville’s most successful real estate firms and expands the 1-year-old Nest Realty team to 14 full-time real estate professionals. It also paves the way for Nest to expand its services from a primary focus on residential real estate into commercial real estate and leasing. … … All agents must have a minimum of three years experience, practice real estate full-time and earn their Broker’s license shortly after joining the firm.

Translate RealCentralVA
Thanks to our overlords at Google, you can now translate RealCentralVA into any one of 51 languages. I have been working with a fair number of international buyers this year.
