By: Keith Davis It’s not often that we send out Public Service Announcement type stories. There just isn’t all that much scamming that takes place in real estate sales. Sure, there are the Craigslist frauds that try to rent homes they don’t own. But, rarely do we see a pure, unadulterated scam that anyone, even…
We’ve been hinting about it for a few weeks (and working on it for a few months), but we went live yesterday with our BETA version of our Nest Market Reports section.

I’d like to congratulate the entire Nest Realty team (and those new Charlottesville Realtors that will be officially with us very soon) for being recognized and spotlighted in Realtor Magazine. (I haven’t actually seen the print version, so we’re linking the online version). Since Realtor Magazine interviewed us in early 2010, we’ve continued our growth…
We’re honored to have been named the #3 ‘ Favorite Real Estate Company by Albemarle Family. It’s pretty exciting to be in our first full year and get this type of unsolicited recognition. And as Jim Duncan notes on his RealCentralVA blog: 1 and 2 were Roy Wheeler and Real Estate III respectively. Frankly, I’m…
