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.

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 .
