Really? It's okay here, with Firefox. Or do you mean the fact that the pictures are all different sizes?

True enough, but I got the message - an awesome place on 28 acres. 28 acres.... that's actual privacy.

Today was the first I'd seen the listing and I told my co-worker, several times to re-write it. Their real estate agent isn't doing them any favors, nor earning his commission.

I'm from Virginia and still have family there as well. Sadly, our income isn't portable - or sufficient. That place would so suit us both, tho. gah.

I'm kicking tires. Occasionally we talk about moving back east to be closer to the kids, and both VA and western North Carolina frequently enter these discussions. I'm really not ready to say g'bye to Norcal when the Sierras are an hour one way, the Pacific two hours the other way. And wino country is darned close!

I've had a satellite 'Net connection at our former place; it's not much better than dial-up. I'd be stranded without a decent connection, which usually means cable or DSL. Since this place is obviously in BFE (pretty as it is), I'm skeptical that they can do anything better than a satellite link.

Nice, but just a bit out of my price range of something under $100.00

I'm not exactly sure. Are you asking seriously, or just out of curiosity? I can certainly find out. I know they've done quite a bit of work on it and that they can access the 'net.

Hmmmm... very attractive. To what extent is it modernized? What do they do for a 'Net connection?

Anyone out there in RP land looking for (or know anyone looking for) a stunning, historic home near Lexington, Virginia? Close to VMI, W&L and the Virginia Horse Center. A co-worker is selling. Don't be put off by the skimpy listing!

Oooo!  What are you selling?

edit:  No offer will come from this enquiry. I would like a house, but I very much doubt I can buy a house in Dartmouth.

I'm going to do the rounds of some estate agents today- what should I ask? - I'm thinking- what sort of marketing will they do, nature of the brochure, whether they include floorplans etc, commission rate (of course!), link in to the internet listing organisations, how many staff and office hours, I'm a bit concerned that one of them seems to have property a long time on the market but I need to check the figures to see if that just means they are bunched together or there is a genuine disparity.

They stay slender for sure. When I'm visiting, their kitchen space is reduced by about 1/3.
