Buying a Home in Fairfax County - Donny and Meredith Samson - 03/27/08 10:34 AM
Take Charge When Buying a Home If you approach the home buying process intelligently and with confidence, you are much more likely to buy a house you'll be proud to call home. Approaching the task of buying a home can be overwhelming; there's so much to consider: How much house can I afford? How can I find the best loan? Where will I come up with a down payment, and how much will I need? Should I buy a new or resale home, and which will go up in value? Should I work with an agent or look at homes on my own?

Grantor's Tax Increase Repealed - Northern Virginia - 03/04/08 01:40 PM
Hi everyone, For those of you who have not heard about this, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled last Friday morning that the regional authority created by the General Assembly to levy taxes last year for Northern Virginia transportation projects is unconstitutional.
