    Check Out What Our Team has Been up to This Summer

    The Nesselroad summer was filled with lots of travel, kickstarted with Mark and Lauren having a fun-filled day at the Kenny Chesney concert with close friends. Being a sports family, their daughter’s swim practices were ongoing, and there were many soccer events, including traveling to CT and Canada for their son’s soccer ID invite camps.  While in Canada, the crew thoroughly enjoyed touring and learning about Niagara Falls.  As the summer wound down, there were takeout/pizza dinners at the beach, bike rides, visits to the zoo, frog and lizard catching, and back-to-school activities.  Many great memories were had and more are sure to come. – Mark

    We started the summer with our annual trip to Kennywood with our girls and their friends the day after school! Then we headed to OBX for a perfect family vacation with some of our family and friends (of course our dog, Bo came too). There was lots of swimming at the house and an amazing adventure trip to New River Gorge with family. Towards the end of the summer we celebrated the wedding of dear friends, where the girls were the bride’s ‘something blue’ and we even squeezed in a boat trip at deep creek before the first football game of the season – David

    I managed to weave in the perfect blend of relaxation and fun amidst my usual full schedule focused on work. I soaked up the sunshine at Cheat Lake and sharpened my golf game with a few rounds alongside friends. In August, my family and I set off for a much-anticipated beach vacation to Hilton Head, SC, only to have a tropical storm throw a thrilling curveball our way. Although the storm kept us indoors, we turned it into a cozy adventure, filled with laughter and bonding over cards and board games. – Jeff

    This summer was filled with memorable experiences. I attended the Jefferson County Chamber’s Diamonds and Denim event and enjoyed kayaking with friends in Harpers Ferry. My husband and I celebrated the Fourth of July at a baseball game in DC, and I also completed the Leadership Berkeley program. We later relaxed at Deep Creek Lake, where we rented a boat and soaked up the sunshine on the water. – Andrea

    The Zeoli family kicked off summer with their annual trip to the Chesapeake bay over Memorial Day weekend. In June, after weeks of preparation and help from her amazing husband, Janelle planted seeds in her first garden which included four large, raised beds and high hopes for a plentiful harvest. On the hot days, trips to the movie theater and back yard sprinklers were a saving grace. To round out the summer, the family enjoyed a little R&R on the beaches of Wildwood, NJ. – Janelle

    We had such a fun summer! Two beach trips, one fishing trip to Lake Erie, lots of pool time, boat rides, trail riding, and made it to two different county fairs! Definitely was a summer to remember with lots of awesome memories. – Zach

    Over the summer: I moved from Charleston to Morgantown and started working at Black Diamond! I celebrated my birthday in June with my friends and family and have spent the summer getting settled in Morgantown and have gotten to go to a lot of concerts and got to watch summer basketball. – Rachael

    This summer in Morgantown was simple yet fulfilling. I balanced work, hit the gym, and spent my evenings catching up on reading. Not a flashy summer, but one that left me feeling recharged and focused. – Caleb

    Another summer on the go with these amazing kiddos, full of smiles, sunshine, and salty ocean breezes. Feeling so blessed to soak in every joyful moment!– Kim

    Our Family spent time together in Hilton Head, at the lake, bowling almost every day, and camping. We really enjoyed the beauty and fun West Virginia has to offer!– Anna

  2. Summer Fun with Black Diamond Realty

    The warmer months are filled with heavy commercial real estate activity. Prospects are looking for market opportunities and deals are getting done at a rapid clip.

    On the personal front, summer is also filled with travel, family time and fun adventures. Click on the button below to see a sneak peak of what our team has been up to this summer.

    Mark NesselroadMark J. Nesselroad:  “Mark and his family are holding onto summer as long as they can.  Some of their favorite parts include spending time outdoors, enjoying extra garden vegetables from Mark’s father’s garden, family birthdays, and splashing at the pool.  Mark and his son enjoyed WVU baseball’s unique father/son camp at which they camped overnight in a tent at Monongalia County Ballpark.  His family also adopted a new family member – a 1.5 year old black and tan coonhound named Lucy!

    David Lorenze Armed with a small computer in his pocket, David was able to enjoy several trips while staying on top of deal activity.  David enjoyed a relaxing trip to Sandbridge, VA with his in-laws, explored the growing area of North Myrtle Beach with his parents, sister and three small kids, plus adored some quality time with his wife while attending a wedding in Las Vegas.  David’s favorite memory from the summer was seeing his two young daughters work together to capture sand crabs.  Their expressions were priceless!

    Murphy Holloway Murphy has made great progress towards earning his CCIM designation.  In June he attend the User Decision Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate course in Denver, Colorado and just got back from Dallas, Texas for the Investment Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate course.  He has completed all of the required courses and is excited to take the final cumulative test to earn his designation.  Murphy is deeply rooted in Wheeling, WV and has enjoyed multiple trips “back home” to visit with family and friends.

    Jeff Stenger
     While Jeff’s primary focus this summer was establishing and maintaining client relations at Black Diamond Realty, he was able to get away for a long weekend at a cabin with friends at Deep Creek Lake.  Jeff is looking forward to seeing his sister and her family in Charlotte, NC next month when WVU plays Tennessee at the Belk College Kickoff Classic.

    Janelle Zeoli:  As a native of eastern Pennsylvania, Janelle made the decision, along with her husband, to move back to their hometown in Morgantown, PA.  It was a tough decision but they have deep roots in this area.  They hope to soon find their permanent location and purchase their first home.  In her free time, Janelle enjoys creative crafts and spending time with her husband and their German Shepherd dog, family and friends. She looks forward to making the trip out to West Virginia each month to reconnect with the Black Diamond team.
    At Black Diamond, we work hard to maintain a positive and healthy work-life balance. Our substantial growth over the past two years can be credited to our team approach and family atmosphere. In an effort to continue providing top-shelf, quality performance/results to our clients, Black Diamond recently expanded its human capital with the additions of Chris Waters and Jeff Wise. They both bring diverse, extensive and credible experience to our team.

    In addition to North Central WV (Bridgeport/Clarksburg to Morgantown), our expanded, strong team of 7 allows Black Diamond to broaden its focus to other areas of our great state and throughout southwestern PA. We look forward to becoming more heavily involved in the Uniontown, Waynesburg, Washington, and Wheeling market areas. Black Diamond is a chamber of commerce member of the three counties that collectively constitute its “back yard,” and we look forward to being more heavily involved in additional communities.

    From our family to yours, we wish you a summer filled with many more great memories. Cheers to exciting times that lie ahead!
