McLean Faulconer, 1980

Over the past four decades, the firm has grown into a team of trusted specialists with expertise in exceptional estates, historic residences, and premier farms throughout Central Virginia. Each of our agents has deep-rooted connections to the area, a comprehensive knowledge of the local real estate market, and an intricate understanding of the complexities of luxury property transactions.

No two properties—or clients—are alike. That is why our seasoned professionals provide guidance tailored to your vision, your goals, and your circumstances. Our agents’ expertise comes not only from formal training but from decades of hands-on work in the Charlottesville and Albemarle market. Their longstanding relationships with clients, county officials, and attorneys allow them to anticipate needs and open doors—often before you even ask.
Our team includes seasoned negotiators, skilled communicators, and respected community leaders. We strive to ensure that every step in the transaction process unfolds seamlessly, with the highest standards of discretion, precision, and excellence.
Recently, Jim was joined by Court Nexsen as a co-owner, a dynamic addition to the firm. Court brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the team. His commitment to community and passion for real estate align perfectly with the firm’s founding vision. With Court on board, McLean Faulconer is poised to enhance its service offerings and continue its legacy of helping clients navigate the vibrant real estate landscape of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
