The readers of Albemarle Family magazine (truly one of the best resources for families in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area) voted recently in all sorts of categories. Their inaugural “Winning Picks for Family-Friendly Fun and Services” selections covered virtually every segment of the Charlottesville/Albemarle area and economy.
Of particular selfish note are the “real estate company” and “Realtor” categories.
For Favorite Real Estate Company, Nest Realty Group (archived: 2011) (the firm in which I am one of three partners) got the nod as #3.
1 and 2 were Roy Wheeler and Real Estate III respectively. Frankly, I’m pretty pleased with the results. At the time of voting, we were a six-person firm (now 8 (archived: 2010)) versus 96 and 221.*
I was further surprised to have been voted the #3 Realtor by their readers. I’m humbled and grateful.
Thanks to @AmyWebb for her kind words (archived: 2013).
* I had to manually count the number of Realtors in each firm via the Charlottesville MLS. I could be off by a couple of people.
