If you watch any television or cable, chances are you see lots of ads for new and improved cars.  You can choose from SUVs and sleek convertibles, mom mobiles and luxury sedans.  Regardless of what defines your heart's desire, the one constant is a big price tag.  Face it - new cars are expensive.  Unfortunately,  most of us need a car to travel to and from work, run errands and take their kids to after-school activities.

lise howe group: Why Should You Think About Selling Your Home This Year? - 01/14/21 05:18 PM

Last summer I got a phone call about one of my condo listings in Woodbridge,Virginia from a couple moving to the DC area from Minnesota. They are moving to the DC area to be closer to their two adult sons who both live in Northern Virginia.  When they looked at my listing condo, they decided that it wasn't quite the perfect match that they had hoped it would be.  We looked at other properties nearby and then started looking in other parts of Northern Virginia. 
We looked at a number of condos in Reston, Virginia, an area which was particularly appealing becuae … (11 comments)

Although you may be tempted, you can’t pretend those problems don’t exist. It is likely that your state has property condition disclosure laws which require you to disclose this important information before … (25 comments)
