Fall, the Perfect Time to Experience the Very Best of Virginia Winemaking!
Central Virginia is a special area especially in the Fall. Lush with presidential history, vineyards & breweries along with gorgeous scenery, the area outside of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, Virginia is loaded with exciting adventures that pair with being in the center of Virginia's wine industry!
Designated as Virginia Wine Month, October is the oldest wine month in the country. It began in 1988 as a way to support the state's young wine business – with just 40 wineries at the time – and promote travel to Virginia wine country. Today, Virginia ranks 5th in the number of wineries in the nation with more than 280 wineries and over 400 vineyards.

The Green MLS: How it helps agents and their clients
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a key part of any real estate transaction. For sellers, it's the foundational start for marketing their home, as its data feeds popular consumer sites like Zillow and Realtor.com. For buyers, it's where to find accurate information on a home and its features.
We expect to see certain features like square footage and the number of bedrooms in most listings, but as homes have changed so have the fields that represent them. Carbon monoxide detectors, for example, now have their own field in the MLS. It's the same for LED lighting, smart thermostats, foam insulation, solar panels, and more. Ten years ago features like these were rare or nonexistent, but not anymore.
The MLS has a special set of data fields called "Green MLS"
