Here is the reason for planning ahead: One out of Four Consumers Have an Error in Their Credit Report

haymarket mls: The House That Just Wouldn't Sell - 01/28/13 11:32 AM
The House That Just Wouldn't Sell...
Some time back I was in a house listed for sale that was really quite impressive.
Rooms were nicely decorated...
Furniture was well arranged....
There was a Beautiful Flower Garden with a meandering pathway...
The view of the property from the street was truly inviting...
In fact, my clients were so impressed, they wanted to buy it! But there was a problem... The Days on the Market for this property had been almost a year and in our area this house should have sold in days - no more than a month. So my buyers asked: "David, what's wrong with this house?" I told them … (2 comments)

haymarket mls: Even If It Has Cost Me A Mailbox? - 01/22/13 11:48 AM
I'm a Realtor® that has often grumbled to my wife and others I'm close to about our HOA and their Fees! In fact, a short time ago we spent many thousands of dollars fixing up the outside of our house, wrapping it in Vinyl, doing some painting and even replacing the Garage door. You would think the HOA would take notice when doing the Annual Inspection and commend us for helping our home look so nice.
Not so! Instead, a few months ago we were written up and cited for a little rust on our Mailbox. I hadn't noticed it but one … (9 comments)

haymarket mls: A Topic That Isn't Totally About Real Estate - 01/12/13 02:15 PM
I confess, I'm not one to make New Year's Resolutions. It's great if you are there and have done so successfully, but years ago, I simply gave that up for one simple reason - failure.
On the other hand, I feel this is a good time of year to make commitments. When you think of it, life is full of commitment. There is the commitment to make payments on the Mortgage, on time and in full each month. There is the commitment to pay for the Car, to protect our Credit and more.
One thing I've learned about Commitment, is it generally … (8 comments)
