A Note From Our Sponsor

Father’s Day is just around the corner. Surprise your Dad / Husband with a round of golf! Brickshire is a hidden gem in this area and a round is sure to be a hit as a gift!

BEAUTIFUL, AFFORDABLE, and in GREAT SHAPE. Right up the road from Williamsburg.

Enjoy the Brickshire Bar & Grille to follow the round (try them out even if you don’t play!). AMAZING food! A menu crafted with care and served with a smile!

Click the response you think is correct. We hope you get 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!
