February 6, 2012 by Sasha C. Farmer, REALTOR ® · Leave a Comment
Recently voted Best REALTOR ® in Charlottesville in the C-Ville Weekly Best of C-Ville Polls, Sasha Farmer specializes in representing home buyers, home sellers, corporate transferees, and University of Virginia faculty, students, and staff.
Early in her career, Sasha was chosen as the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTOR’s Rookie of the Year in her first year in the industry, and most recently was named the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors Sales Associate of the Year in 2012. Additionally, Sasha is a Certified Residential Specialist- an achievement that only 4% of all REALTORS ® worldwide have attained. She is currently in the top one percent (1%) of all agents in Charlottesville and Central Virginia.
Sasha prides herself on a strong commitment to the community, and spends numerous hours volunteering for organizations such as Computers4Kids, Charlottesville/Albemarle SPCA, the Junior League of Charlottesville, the City of Charlottesville Housing Advisory Council, the United Way, Habitat for Humanity, and the Chamber of Commerce Leadership Charlottesville program. She is also the past Chair of the Technology committee at the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors, is on the Virginia Association of Realtors’ technology committee, and is the Chair of Marketing for the Virginia Chapter of Certified Residential specialists.
She attributes her success in the real estate industry largely in part to her ability to successfully market homes for sale, along with her use of technology marketing to stay on the leading edge of her industry and her competition in both innovation and education. Sasha makes consumer research, market insight, and marketing communications the center of all her strategies. Sasha’s strong technical skills and advertising instinct were honed from years as a web designer, newspaper editor, and social media expert.
Originally from Northern Virginia, Farmer chose Charlottesville as her permanent home after falling in love with the city during her undergraduate years at the University of Virginia. She finds Charlottesville to be the perfect place to live and work because of its beauty, history, and culture. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia and is married to classmate and UVA Swimmer, John Farmer. Sasha spends her free time reading, scrap booking, designing websites, and is a self-proclaimed home-improvement and interior design “expert.” She is a tireless UVA sports fan, and can be found cheering on the ‘Hoo’s year-round!
Sasha’s clients have always found her prompt, friendly service a joy, and her knowledge and analytical skills invaluable. As her recommendations will attest, Sasha works tirelessly for her clients. Her passion for Charlottesville, in addition to her technical abilities, patience, thoroughness, and dedication to her clients is sure to keep them coming back.

I was recently honored among 3 other incredible women as one of Charlottesville’s 4 Women Under 40 Award Winners. I could not have been more flattered to be amongst such good company and I truly look forward to getting to know each of the other 3 women even better! The Inaugural 4 Under 40 Award winners were Liza Borches, Andrea Copeland, Sasha Farmer, and Audrey Storm. Strangely enough I am friends with all three of the other recipients and could not be more honored to stand amongst them!
Here is the coverage from the 4 Under 40 Award Magazine insert in the March Issue of Charlottesville Woman;
Charlottesville Woman 4 Under 40 Awards
This is a great award that will sure to be a hit in Charlottesville for years to come. Another big congratulations to my fellow award winners and thanks for all that you do in the Charlottesville community!

Thank you for voting me Best REALTOR in Charlottesville! Best of C-Ville 2010
A sincere and flattered thank you for your support and votes of confidence. I could not be more blessed to have such incredible friends and clients.
From the Best of C-Ville Article;
“It came pretty close, folks, but newcomer Sasha Cannon Farmer takes the lead this year. You chose the Montague, Miller & Company agent because she’s plugged in (read her blog at charlottesville365.com) and personable and has proven that she can do one helluva job: Last December, she earned the title of Certified Residential Specialist, which counts big in the real estate world.”
