Real Estate in Charlottesville

“Toby, we just got home and are exhausted. Thanks again for your time. Dinner at Marigold was delicious. Your tour was so much fun! I think a home in Farmington would be the perfect spot. If none come on the market soon we can also look at Ednam Village. That way, Bill can ride to the club in his new golf cart and not run over any elderly joggers :} Happy New Year. Nic“

“The members of the Front Porch Team at Nest Realty were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We worked closely with Amy Webb and Kelly Ceppa and highly recommend their services.

Amy came recommended by a friend who had a wonderful experience. We reached out to Amy and fell in love instantly. She was detail oriented, supportive, and thoughtful from the start. We discussed our goals via phone then met shortly after in-person. She took us on a tour of local neighborhoods. It is a unique experience to have a tour of the neighborhoods by someone who knows the area so intimately. Amy was able to tell us the long-standing histories of the areas and describe the personalities of the neighborhoods. As we began seeing houses Amy helped guide us in determining what features were “must haves” and which were “nice to haves.” Each house we saw brought us closer to our dream home as Amy learned our personalities and likes/dislikes. Viewing houses with Amy was a pleasurable experience. She helped us form pros and cons for each house. Not once did we feel pressured. Soon enough, Amy reached out with a house coming on the market that checked all our boxes.

Amy was unable to accompany us to the viewing of this home, but just as she had promised beforehand, her colleague and team member Kelly knew all our goals and wishes. Similarly, Kelly was incredibly detail oriented, supportive, and thoughtful right away. With Kelly’s assistance and guidance, we put in an offer that was accepted. Kelly was attentive throughout the entire process, easily reachable with any questions, and always pleasant. She helped organize everything needed to reach closing and navigated unexpected & unpredictable events with ease. She accompanied us during the home inspection, final walk through, and the signing of the closing documents. It was incredibly helpful having her well-trained eyes and excellent knowledge at each of these steps along the way. Kelly even had housewarming gifts waiting for us as we walked into our new home.

Amy and Kelly felt like family during the process and have kept in touch with us even after closing to help us navigate new home ownership. They are both incredibly professional, responsive, and went out of their way to be advocates for us as buyers. Amy and Kelly truly made purchasing our first home a beautiful memory. We will be sticking with their services long term – I cannot recommend the Front Porch Team highly enough!“

“This review is long overdue. I was fortunate enough to tour a home being shown by Barbara Geiman from this company. She showed me the house and was very knowledgeable, but most important she took the time to listen and really get a feel for the needs of me and my family. In the end she recommended we look at another property, one not managed by her company, that she thought would suit our needs and our price range better. The property she recommended was perfect and we’ve been living here nearly three months now. We are very grateful to Barbara for looking out for us even when it didn’t help her bottom line at all.“
