 100% accurate right there!

Ask them how long they've been licensed, what their personal average Days on Market is for listings they've sold, what their marketing strategy is for their listings, how many units the closed (buyer and seller side) last year and so far this year, and ask them where they rank against similar agents in their market.

Ask them what got them into Real Estate in the first place. 

@Matt Pursley, the Charlottesville and surrounding area rental market is strong. If you're a buy/hold investor, there are some great prospects that pop up around UVA for both college rentals as well as the robust medical residency program that UVA Med Center has. If you're more interested in AirBnb/Short-term rental options, push North into Greene and Madison Counties. 

I'll echo Russell's comments. I'm a Realtor in Central VA and I'm seeing the same thing. Inventory is still short and the homes I'm selling (yes, I'm still actively buying and selling in Central VA) are selling fast because the buyers are serious buyers and the homes for sell aren't enough to keep up with the need.

@Dennis Parslow!

Look 20-30 minutes north into Greene and Orange Counties.

@Dennis Parslow, I just shot you an e-mail. :)

Nice one Tom! 

I'm a member of all of those. I have been to the Charlottesville area Real Estate Investor's Meetup multiple times and I made some good networks from attending. I would highly encourage it.
