Experience

1. Associate Broker Partner

   Nest Realty Group

   Feb 2009 — Present · Charlottesville, VA

   Nest is a different breed of real estate brokerage - we have shared values, shared goals and each are fiercely independent. We measure our success not on \"number of agents\" or \"dollar volume\"(we are #1 in buyer representation by side in Charlottesville/Albemarle ) but on \"how happy our clients are.\"The real estate brokerage model as it was known two and three and thirty years ago is broken. Nest is our attempt to represent the new breed of Realtors - those who listen to and respond to consumers\' demands- We don\'t do Single Agent Dual Agency- We do either Exclusive Buyer Representation or Seller Representation- We use technology in ways that no others do- We want to empower the consumer- We do not fear the consumers having the same information we have.
