I just sold this sparkling gorgeous condo in Lexington Square in Arlington. This gem of a building is right between the Virginia Square and Ballston Metro along the Orange Line Metro corridor, placing it about a 10 minute metro ride from DC. This building is fantastic - solid all brick constr

What a great explanation from Russel Ray, a San Diego home inspector on lateral sewer line repair - a VERY expensive problem if it happens to you. It has happened to a couple of my clients this year and cost around $4,000 to repair. Not a fun way to spend $4,000. The lateral sewer linesa

I occasionally burst with joy when I think of the amazing friendships I've made through real estate. Really. I truly love my clients, and feel that I am lucky beyond belief to have the friends and clients that I do. They have made me a better Realtor and person for knowing them. Sniff, sniff

Oh I love Bizzaro world, or Opposite Land. This is a great (and sarcastic) reminder list of what you need to do to maintain your biggest investment by local Northern Virginia home inspector Jay Markanich. As an agent, I've seen way too many homes in which owners apparently lived in Bizzaro Wor

The Westover Beer Garden is one of North Arlington's newest and most loved treasures. A quaint neighborhood market started carrying an incredible variety of beers, sectioned off the area outside their side entrance, started holding it open several nights a week with cool crazy beers you've never

I have had quite a few prospective buyers contact me through recent Zillow sponsorship since I am a featured agent in the 22204 zip in Arlington. I blogged a few weeks ago about one person who wanted to work all the agents so she could see all the houses. My attempts at explaining buyer agenc

Sometimes succeeding in real estate is pure tenacity. I often do feel like the "Little Engine Who Could" as it is nothing but sheer perseverance and determination that gets some sales to close. Today I celebrate the closing of a home that was on life support for the past 43 days. No bank pr
