New River Valley, Here We Come!

Blacksburg and Charlottesville have a lot in common.  Beautiful mountains.  Wonderful outdoor activities.  College towns.  But now, they’ve got one more thing in common: they’ll both have a Nest Realty office! We’re proud to announce that Nest Realty is expanding west…and bringing our real estate services to the New River Valley.  Encompassing the counties of Montgomery, [...]

Do Home Buyers Care About ‘Green’ Houses?

There’s been a lot of talk over the past few years about real estate ‘going green.’  From insulation to recycled materials to rain barrels, there seems to be a new earth-friendly (or ‘green’) material/method/pitch around every other day. Back during the epic real estate market of 2005-2007, Green-built homes were the next big thing.  Builders [...]

Nest Realty’s December 2010 Charlottesville Real Estate Market Snapshot

Check out our December 2010 Charlottesville Real Estate Market Snapshot. Overall, sales dipped again (down 32%) in November 2010 from November 2009.  This marks the 5th straight month of year-over-year sales declines.  Surprisingly enough, although total sales were down 32%, the total volume of transactions was down much less (about 15%).  Several large purchases pushed [...]

Nest Realty Site Re-Design Underway

We launched the Nest site in February of 2008.  It’s amazing how time flies.  Over the last 15 months, we’ve gotten a great response to the site.  After all, the site was built based on years of feedback from our clients. Since we’ve launched the site, we’ve also received some great suggestions to make the [...]

Hello, We’re Nest Realty…

We’re not your typical real estate brokerage. And we’re proud of it. In fact, we’ve earned our success by being different and standing out in an industry that tends to lack innovation. Founded in 2008, Nest Realty has quickly established itself as one of the region’s most trusted and recognized real estate brands. How are [...]

Nest Realty Spotlighted in Realtor Magazine

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.
