Charlottesville High (City)

If you are relocating and searching for Charlottesville Real Estate it can certainly be a little overwhelming. When our children were two and four years old, our family was right where you are now. We were looking for the perfect combination of excellent schools, four seasons, low crime, smaller town feel and plenty of amenities.

We were searching for the Quality of Life that we all deserve and my family found it in Charlottesville Virginia. Before you decide to move to Charlottesville, we need to talk so we can share stories of what to expect from the Charlottesville area including the benefits of living in Jefferson’s Virginia… read more

Winning Offer with Charles

We ran into Charles pre pandemic when we were just starting to explore moving to Charlottesville. I was struck by his advice and took his card. Two years later we started looking. I didn’t have his information so we went with another realtor and lost 4 houses before calling it quits. We decided then to wait until closer to retirement and in the interim I found Charles’s contact information. What a great experience we have had working with Charles. Before we were ready to travel to Cville I could send listings and get honest feedback. When we found the house for us, Charles crafted a well thought out offer that fit our needs and the sellers. Thanks to Charles, our offer was the sellers choice out of 10 offers. My only regret is we won’t be working together anymore. I highly recommend Charles for his knowledge about homes, home sales, attention to his clients, and savvy in this nutty market. Thank you, Charles!

CA to VA Success Story

I followed some dear friends to Charlottesville who moved here in April and, since Charles was the realtor who sold them their house and they were very happy with their experience of working with him, they referred me to him. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is so knowledgeable, responsive, supportive and helpful, I feel lucky that I could buy my house with his help. He went above and beyond at every stage of the process because he knows this market so well and, in fact, had sold this house to the previous owners 14 years earlier. He was so available, very involved every step of the way, and readily answered the phone whenever I called. He was even willing to research topics about the local area that were not within the scope of his job and he made sure the house and garden were in the best condition when I moved in several weeks after the previous owners had moved out. To that end, he helped me with connecting all the utilities and recommended various people he knows to help with cleaning and maintenance. I highly recommend Charles to anyone interested in buying a house in and around Charlottesville. He is an outstanding ally in the process of buying a house.

Superb Negotiation

We are so fortunate that Charles McDonald was highly recommended to us. He is simply FANTASTIC. Professional, honest and incredibly responsive, he helped us get a wonderful home in a crazy, competitive market. We moved from out-of-state on a very tight timeline, with 8 weeks to get the kids into our desired school district and zero rental options available. He personally CUSTOMIZED HIS WEBSITE to highlight the features we were needing (schools and cable/fiber internet). His KNOWLEDGE of the area is incredible and he saved us innumerable hours by knowing the pros/cons that are never listed on a website (proximity to a dump, internet dead zones, floor plans with too-small bedrooms, traffic patterns, “to-be-built” homes that don’t even exist yet, neighborhoods with great but unmarked walking trails). The home we bought was on the market for 1 day and had multiple offers. We only got that home because of his professionalism, foresight and superb negotiating,…he made our offer highly attractive and still got us a good price. Amazing. We also love the home. When there is that much time-pressure to buy something, it would have been easy to make a bad purchase or overpay. Charles was honest and upfront when attractive homes had major issues that would have been long-term headaches or a money pit. He made the nearly-impossible a complete success. He has my highest recommendation.
