When Matt Leech arrived for his first day as Nest Realty’s new Graphic and Digital Designer, he hit the ground running. Literally. Within the first week and a half he was headed to press checks in Richmond to finish a complicated print piece. To say that we here at Nest have a long list of projects [...]
It’s been over 4 years since we launched version 1 of the Nest Realty web site. Actually, it was January 30, 2009. I remember the day well. It was a Friday. I had literally been planning and brainstorming the Nest web site for about year and had been working with our web team since since [...]

As Charlottesville real estate experts, we’re often asked: Where do people work in Charlottesville? It’s not an easy question to answer. While there are jobs in Charlottesville, there aren’t gobs and gobs of ‘large’ employers. Sure, we have the obvious ones: UVa, Martha Jefferson, Albemarle County, City of Charlottesville, State Farm, etc, etc. In fact, [...]
We’ve had a few eyebrows raised over the last year since we launched Nest Property Management. Why? We really haven’t had a fully functional web site. That all changed over the weekend. After about a year of strategizing and brainstorming (including the last 5 months of hardcore planning), we launched our Charlottesville property management site [...]

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, [...]

So, I was sitting in Staples Barber Shop last week, waiting to get a trim and a photo of Obi-Wan Kenobi on the front of USA Today caught my eye. (Disclaimer: I’m a bit of a Star Wars fan, but that’s besides the point). Turns out the photo was a lead-in to an article on [...]
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 [...]
Our goal is to continue to have the most functional, most useful and most used real estate search site in Charlottesville; these improvements are a step towards meeting that goal. … New listings are now tagged (within last 14 days, can search for new listings) As a buyer/browser/interested consumer, what do you want to see on our site?
… There are quite a few back-end improvements that do not necessarily affect how you search for homes in the Charlottesville MLS, but rest assured, they make the entire site experience better .
