local expert: Buying a Home In Springfield? - Call an Accredited Buyer Representative - 09/26/09 09:07 PM



The law in Virginia determines "agency".
When I list a home for sale I am a seller's agent When I sell a home to clients I am a buyer's agent Any real estate agent in Virginia can be either a
Buyer's agent or a Seller's agent - it has nothing to do with the type of license they have. When buying a home I recommend you work with a real estate agent who has earned the right to display the REBAC logo and be known as an Accredited Buyer Representative.

There are many small businesses where the owner wants the convenience of a self storage facility close to their home even though they may not work from home. If so, Lake Ridge has two very large self storage facilities in the subdivision.
Our son, for example, owns his own business and rents the equivalent of a one car garage to store his equipment. One of his neighbors is a pest control firm that has a similar need. The adavntage is that their "warehouse" is close to home, but does not spoil the appearance of the community since they are … (2 comments)

local expert: A "Hidden" Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA Treasure - 09/15/09 11:12 AM



It's hidden at the end of Forest Hill Road to be precise. Only Lake Ridge residents can obtain a key to use the park and boat ramp at the end of the road.
It is a very peaceful site disturbed only by the occasional osprey that swoops down to fish or the fish that breaks the tranquil surface.
There is ample space for anglers to park their trailers after launching their boats.
It is also a favorite spot for kayakers to "do their thing" in a protected cove, but with access to the main body of … (0 comments)
