homes for sale: A Quick Way To Get Me To Call You Back! - 04/15/09 01:07 AM
I am driving down the road, and for whatever reason, I missed your call. Maybe I was on the phone, maybe I was in Starbucks, or maybe I just had the music turned way up. Whatever.
But if I see a missed call, you can bet I'll hit redial and buzz you back. I want to help you right away.
But what I don't generally do is call my voice mail while I am driving. In my opinion it is just not worth the risk to myself and other drivers for me to try and drive and write your number down … (1 comments)

homes for sale: Multiple Offers And What It Means For The Market - 03/03/08 10:49 AM
I've noticed a distinct change in the market. When placing listings in the MRIS, I always put "call first" in the showing instructions. Usually the showing agent makes the courtesy call, we make some small talk, and I take the opportunity to discuss some of the properties highlights, and that is pretty much it.
But that has all changed. It seems that with most of the calls that I have gotten in the last few weeks start out with the same question. "Is it still available, and do you have any offers in on it?"
So, there is a lot of talk about … (13 comments)

homes for sale: ACTIVE RAIN - I Need A Vegas Hotel Recommendation - 02/09/08 06:06 AM
My son turned 18 last week, and I was having a pretty hard time coming up with an idea for a present. As usual, to the rescue, comes my wife. She reminds me that I can buy him anything, but memories are forever. Vegas, here we come. So I booked the flight (my wife works for a major airline, so this part is easy, and cheap), bought poncho tickets for the Blue Man Group, and we head out Monday morning.
Last time I went I stayed at Bally's, and it was fine, but who wants to stay the same place twice? So … (4 comments)

The Bad News Media is hard at work every day. Economy stinks. Lenders are going under. Company earnings are in the toilet. Builders are in trouble. Homes are not selling. The list goes on and on.
Well, I don't know much, but I do know this. For a fact.
On the buyers side. I have a client. We wrote on a house. 3 other offers on it. We found another. 2 offers on it. We found a 3rd yesterday. Only 1 offer on it. We wrote fast. 
On the sellers side. I looked at my history for the last 30 days. Of my listings … (21 comments)

homes for sale: Beautiful Home - Overlooking The Lake - In The City Of Fredericksburg Virginia - 12/08/07 09:03 AM


 
If you are considering relocating to the Fredericksburg, Virginia area, this is one to see. Sit and relax on your spacious screen porch as you overlook the lake on those great summer evenings. And the next morning, it is only a few moments to downtown Fredericksburg to hit your favorite coffee shop. Less than a mile from Mary Washington Hospital, Mary Washingington University, and almost as close to Central Park, this is one home that will satisfy that need for a reduced commute.

homes for sale: Almost 3 Acres - Yet Minutes To Downtown Fredericksburg VA - 12/08/07 08:44 AM


 
All too often, homes that are a bit older are often overlooked. This is the exception. If you have ever heard the term "pride of ownership", you will truly feel that when viewing this property. Situated on 3 wooded acres in Fredericksburg, north of exit 126 (Massaponax) it is only minutes from downtown, the VRE, Massaponax, The University of Mary Washington, and Mary Washington Hospital, this home is truly a gem. Exquisitely maintained, with many upgrades, it is truly a one of a kind property.

homes for sale: Six Bedrooms, Swimming Pool, & And In-Law Suite - 12/08/07 08:36 AM


This is truly a unique property. Six bedrooms. An in-ground swimming pool. An in-law suite with it's own kitchen. Sitting on almost 2 acres, the view from every window gives you the feeling that you are miles from it all, as all you see are trees, yet you are only minutes from town. In fact, for those of you who know Fredericksburg, this home is convenient to River Rd, and from there it is a short drive to Central Park, and you never have to fight the Rt 3 traffic. Wood floors, and a family room that overlooks the pool … (2 comments)

homes for sale: The Age Of The Home - How Important Is It? - 11/20/07 07:11 AM
We have a listing. A GREAT LISTING. 4 BR. Almost 2 acres, yet close to shopping, schools, minutes from the highway for commuters (we are just outside of DC). It is truly unique in that it is such a large wooded lot so close to town, and we have marketed it that way.
We have advertised this thing everywhere. Print. Internet. Local Paper. Magazines. The photos are great. Had an open house. Had a brokers open. Got feedback and the client immediately reacted positvely to the feedback and made some changes. The house is super clean and not cluttered. Retired couple, no … (7 comments)
