Travis Wilburn - CoFounder
A Virginia native, moved to Charlottesville in 2000 where he found a perfect marriage for his passion for buildings, music, and art. He began his real estate career in 2005 and in 2008 engaged in business development for a publishing group. An architect-at-heart without the ability to draw, he found himself drawn to the historic homes in Charlottesville and the Blue Ridge with no way to work with them. Solution: Stay Charlottesville. Travis brings his enthusiasm and passion to both the homes and C’Ville to work every day. True to his fun competitive nature, he will one day open a 28-room boutique inn, right next to Bill’s.
