Crozet Realtor & Local Expert | Boy Dad | Wannabe Influencer
Top Rated Real Estate Agent In The Charlottesville Area. I have been in hundreds (maybe even thousands) of stunning homes, many of which I viewed behind a rolling camera while working in Hollywood for more than a decade. It was filming in these movie-worthy homes and neighborhoods that first sparked my passion for real estate. I love fin

ding the characteristics and details that make a home unique, whether its a mansion in Beverly Hills or a scenic cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I enjoy combining my years of experience scouting locations for “the best of” and my love of film to create videos and content about the Charlottesville area and real estate. My goal is to allow my clients to learn something new about the region and feel confident going into their real estate transaction. When I’m not busy helping my clients find the perfect property or sell their current home, I enjoy going on adventures with my family, exploring the Virginia outdoors, and woodworking. Fun Fact: I helped my father custom build our family home and I love fixing up houses on the side.

No more fumbling for tickets or digging for credit cards at the gate.

Parking in Downtown Charlottesville just got a major high-tech upgrade. The Market Street and Water Street garages are switching to the Metropolis system. That means a frictionless “drive-in, drive-out” experience is here and no more waiting for 30 mins when the garage gate stops working.

The USDA Guaranteed Loan program is a government-backed mortgage designed to help low- to moderate-income buyers purchase homes in eligible rural and suburban areas. This program is offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through approved private lenders and is aimed specifically at supporting homeownership in less densely populated regions that meet USDA criteria.

Key Features of USDA Guaranteed Loans:

•No Down Payment: One of the biggest advantages of the USDA Guaranteed Loan is that it allows qualified borrowers to purchase a home with zero down payment. This means buyers don’t have to save tens of thousands of dollars upfront, making homeownership more accessible.

•Primary Residence Only: The property must be the buyer’s primary residence. Investment properties, second homes, or vacation houses don’t qualify.

•Income Limits: Borrowers must meet income restrictions, typically up to 115% of the median household income in the area where the home is located. These limits vary by county and household size to ensure the program targets those who need it most.

•Credit Requirements: While credit guidelines vary by lender, borrowers generally need a minimum credit score of about 620. Lenders also look at debt-to-income ratios, which usually must be below 46%.

•Loan Guarantees: The USDA guarantees 90% of the loan amount to lenders, which reduces their risk and enables them to offer more favorable terms, including lower interest rates.

•Fees: Borrowers pay an upfront guarantee fee (around 1%) and a small annual fee (0.35% of the loan balance), which are usually lower than private mortgage insurance fees on conventional loans.

Significant news for Charlottesville cinema enthusiasts! The Violet Crown Cinema, a beloved cornerstone of downtown, has been successfully saved. Earlier this year, there was considerable discussion and anticipation around another potential purchase that ultimately did not materialize, leaving the theater’s future in question.

However, a dedicated group of local Charlottesville residents, deeply committed to preserving this cultural landmark, have now acquired the cinema. This ensures that the unique Violet Crown experience, offering a mix of independent films and popular releases, will continue for the community for years to come.

This is a vital development for the local arts and culture scene!

New Life for the General Wayne Hotel?

Waynesboro City Council is considering a plan that could transform the vacant General Wayne Hotel into a new multifamily residential building!

Developer Miller and Associates, who specialize in renovating historic buildings, is seeking a Conditional-Use Permit (CUP) to convert the property at 620 West Main Street into roughly 38 to 45 market-rate apartments. The proposal includes a mix of efficiencies, one and two bedroom units.

Why the permit? Because the plan is for residential use without a commercial ground floor in the Central Business district, it requires discretionary review.

Planning Commission recommended approval, noting minimal impacts on traffic and schools.

If approved, the project aims for an April 2026 start date and could be complete about 12 months later, pending permits and financing. This is a significant move that could boost downtown housing supply!

What’s Next? Council introduced the ordinance and will take final action on October 27, contingent on the developer acquiring the property.

What are your thoughts on turning the historic General Wayne into new downtown residences?
