fredericksburg va: "But I thought I got the kitchen sink!" - 12/08/07 07:28 AM
Lately, I have been looking at tons of videos added to real estate listings around the country.
Some are really impressive and look like they were done by professional videographers (and some were) while others look like the ones I have done (and that ain't good).
Folks, that is not the purpose of … (21 comments)

fredericksburg va: Fredericksburg VA - Real Estate Attorney Bill Scaife - 11/16/07 01:01 PM
Truthfully, there are not too many people involved in the real estate industry here in Fredericksburg VA that have been around much longer than I. However, one of them is William M. Scaife, Jr. I say involved but that is not quite true. Bill Scaife retired from the law this year. … (4 comments)

fredericksburg va: Fredericksburg VA Real Estate - The Spin Masters - 11/10/07 07:05 AM
Several years ago, while listening to a radio program, the term spin master was used. Cannot believe, today, that I did not know the meaning. When I first heard it I asked a friend, who was in local radio, if she knew the meaning; her reply was that she had not.

My friend a CybeProfessional colleague Linda Davis posted a very interesting article here on Active Rain about real estate teams.

Memorial Day 2007
Parades. When I was a boy growing up in Peekskill NY there were parades all of the time. At least it seemed like there were to me. I loved them. I loved the music. I loved the horses. I loved the fire trucks. I loved to see the Peekskill … (7 comments)

Yesterday a client here in Fredericksburg VA asked me that question. They are not, at this point, selling their home but they may at some point. Resale homes for sale in our area do not normally have upgraded countertops unless they are fairly new or if the owners have had new countertops recently installed.
Naturally, they … (48 comments)

Last week the "Oldest Fair in the Nation" opened in Historic Fredericksburg Virginia. Whether or not it is as old as billed could probably be argued but "America's Most Historic City" is laying claim to the title.
