Meet Nancy Witte, SDH’s new Sales and Marketing Associate!
Favorite place to eat in Charlottesville? Peter Chang’s China Grill. They make a “hot and numbing” tofu skin that I dream about, and I am a hard-core carnivore!
Favorite thing about Charlottesville/Albemarle?
I love that there are so many great places to walk — there are sidewalks everywhere! Walking is my exercise and my relaxation, a great chance to think and a great way to get to know this amazing area.
Best way to spend a weekend?
Spending time with my family, or curled up with a great book.
Favorite event or thing to do around this time of year?
I love going to Jefferson Vineyards with friends and family. We bring a picnic and enjoy the evening listening to the band, watching great-grandma play with the grandbaby, and watching the kids chase the family dog! There is something for everyone.
Favorite thing about home construction/sales?
When I hear the phase “going home,” it really connects need with emotion. We all deserve a place to go home, to feel comfortable and supported. Being part of a team that turns a family’s dream of the perfect home into reality – that’s pure joy for me!
Favorite Southern Development floor plan?
The Belmont, it has such an open atmosphere!
Favorite thing about your home?
My kitchen – I love to cook! Especially for big groups of family and friends, and I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and ingredients. And, of course, I love to eat!
Most exotic place you’ve ever traveled?
I’m fortunate to have traveled extensively in my life, but Abu Dhabi felt the most exotic to me. It was beyond words – such a true melting pot of people, cultures, smells, and sounds.
What do you like best about working for Southern Development?
It sound like a cliché, but the people are extraordinary. Without exception, they’re warm, friendly, incredibly intelligent, and passionate. Great colleagues and great role models!
The neighbors at The Villages at Nahor and Village Oaks spent a few hours with Southern Development on August 27 and had a great time playing Bingo in the Nahor clubhouse. The competition was stiff for the fabulous prizes. Requests for more Bingo Nights have been heard! Thanks for all who came! Looking forward to the next time.
Andrew Shaw joined Southern Development as an Assistant Project Manager in early 2015.
Favorite place to eat in Charlottesville? Bodos, hands down.
Favorite thing about Charlottesville/Albemarle? We have all the conveniences and opportunities of city life all the while just a short drive from the mountains!
Best way to spend a weekend? Canoeing on the James River with my wife.
Favorite event or thing to do around this time of year? James River Batteau Festival. Each year for the past 30 years, different groups from central Virginia have come together to take a week long float from Lynchburg to Richmond in homemade replicas of cargo vessels from the late 1700’s. I built my first batteau during my sophomore year in college, and have been floating the river every year since. Navigating a 45 foot long wooden boat down the shallow and rocky James is an absolute blast and I look forward to the week all year long.
Favorite thing about home construction/Sales? The whole really is greater than the sum of the parts. We bring all these different groups of people together, from excavators to trim carpenters, each with their own skill set and expertise. Together, we do something none of us could do on our own. I have a great time getting to watch the whole thing come together.
Favorite Southern Development Floor Plan? The Belleview. Lots of square footage with very little wasted space!
Favorite thing about your home? The deck that I am looking forward to building this fall!
Most exotic place you’ve ever traveled? During my senior year in college, I had the opportunity to travel to India with 12 friends, guided by a friend whose parents are Indian. We went to his grandparents 50th wedding anniversary celebration in Goa, and toured through the rest of the country seeing everything from the Taj Mahal to the Himalayan Mountains.
What do you like best about working for Southern Development? The pace. There is always more to get done than can be done in the day and I enjoy the challenge of a full schedule. Whether it is expectant homeowners or subs that need answers, there is always something that demands attention. We aren’t bored often!
