An Early Burg Announcement

Over the past 18+ months since The Early Burg has launched, we have partnered with some amazing individuals and businesses, one of which is David Tortolini Realty Group.

In looking for a long-term partnership with a local realtor, we reviewed dozens of realtors in the area, vetting them, reading their reviews, understanding how they seek to put their customers’ best interest in mind. David Tortolini was a clear standout as he goes above and beyond in every aspect for his clients, and we are proud to award him, for the second year in a row, with our Historic Triangle Realtor of the Year award. Congrats, David!

Call David at (757) 912-4440 if you are in the market to buy or considering a move and let him know you saw him in The Early Burg!

We hope you got it right! 😁 If not, better luck next week!

Take a look at some of the most popular listings this week! And make sure to use David Tortolini for your real estate needs - he is easily one of Williamsburg’s best.

Make sure to let David know you saw him in The Early Burg!
