Last weekend my wife dragged me to a neighborhood barbecue in Northern Virginia. While I was there minding my own business, I was approached by a group of “real estate investors” as they like to call themselves. We all know this group of people.

They also seem to carry this plethora of knowledge about the real estate market that not even a Realtor can get their hands on. As they introduce themselves, I saw … (0 comments)

va real estate: Understanding the 'Niche' Market - 11/12/07 02:27 PM

va real estate: Watch Out Foreclosure, Short Sale to the Rescue! - 10/02/07 11:03 PM
Foreclosures and Short Sales in Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC have become more prevalent in recent times. As a result of the rise in delinquencies, short sales have become popular as a solution for homeowners who need to get out of homes as trouble-free as possible.
A short sale becomes an option when the homeowner cannot afford to make the payments on their loan due to whatever circumstance. In a nutshell, the lender agrees to accept less than the total amount owed. In reality, the lender agrees to release the home from the lien of the Deed of Trust for less … (3 comments)
