loudoun county: Loudoun County Information - 02/26/08 12:19 AM
The Loudoun County website has recently been updated in certain areas, including portions of the Cities and Towns section. The fast-growing Ashburn, Sterling, Dulles Corridor, Leesburg and Purcellville are the housing and business centers, whereas Middleburg, Waterford, Lovettesville and Paeonian Springs offer Loudoun views and historic character.
In addition to dozens of quaint historic areas and small towns, Loudoun is home to more than 10 excellent vineyards and wineries. Actually, there are dozens of small, independent vineyards run by homeowners putting their 3, 5, 7 or more acres to work, for both love of outdoors and a nice county tax break on … (0 comments)

loudoun county: Mortgage Bank VS. Mortgage Broker, in Loudoun County, and out! - 06/01/07 10:38 PM
It's no secret that home lending market has tightened up quite a bit...and it's difficult getting answers on loan applications and pending closes that you can rely on....or....well....take to the bank. I know of a number of high loan-to-value deals where the buyers are using mortgage brokers who are subject to the rules and policy changes of the banks...and yes, banks are changing their programs all the time.
If you are ready to buy a home, do yourself a favor and get pre-approved by more than one lender, with at least one of the lenders being a bank that does in-house underwriting.

loudoun county: Buyers Alert! Excellent Mortgage Programs! - 05/20/07 07:13 PM
Quick alert for Buyers throughtout the US, and especially in Loundoun County, VA and Fairfax County, VA.
I work with a number of excellent lending professionals...mostly from firms that underwrite their own loans...and am pleasantly surprised how they have made their lending programs so attractive for first-time AND repeat home buyers. From reduced fees, to favorable rates and more transparency, I'm a believer the mortgage industry is an ally in helping individuals buy homes they can afford, on terms that meet each buyer's unique needs.
There are very good borrowing options available today. Please take the EXTRA time, and learn about more than one lender, … (0 comments)

loudoun county: Comments on the 60 Minutes segment - 05/20/07 07:02 PM
I just watched a replay of the 60 Minutes segment. Generally, 60 Minutes seemed to do a dis-service to the potential home buyers and sellers. They simple skipped all the complexities of legal aspects, HUD, Fair Housing Law, mortgage qualification, home inspection...and all the topics that are valuable to many buyers, such as schools, traffic patterns, growth and development trends, etc. On the seller side, I feel they skipped similar legal and practical aspects. Another surprise was their apparent disregard for buyer or sellers in difficult markets....maybe a home will sell in 3-4 days in downtown San Francisco, but not in my markets of Lansdonw, Leesburg, … (0 comments)

loudoun county: Good Values in Leesburg, Virginia (& Other Parts of Loudoun County) - 05/16/07 01:58 AM
I was recently talking to an associate of mine about the good values that are appearing in some prestigious Leesburg communites, and selected other parts of Loudoun County.
(there were some knockout values recently in Lansdowne, River Creek and Potomac Station)
In some cases, such as where the seller is very motivated and has sufficient equity in their home, prices are nearing the 2003/2004 levels.
Of course, the best properties in the best locations will always sell relatively quickly (compared to the mass market) and closer to asking price.
If you're a Buyer, you do have to hunt, however, to find the values fast enough.

loudoun county: Value of a Brokers Open is open for debate! - 05/08/07 06:33 PM
I coordinated a Brokers Open today, in western Loudoun County, with 8 other properties. In western Loudoun, we have to innovate to get other agents to trek over "from the East" part of the county to see our listings...so I enrolled a number of other agents for a progressive lunch...appetizers, entree, and dessert...spread throughout the properties. PLUS, there were $300 in prizes and drawings..every agent had 3 chances to win!
Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Great, free food and prizes! Wrong!
A poor turnout, at best...just a handful of agents out of the 791 double-sided flyers we distributed to attract foot traffic to … (1 comments)

loudoun county: High loan to value? At a time like this? - 05/07/07 11:49 PM
The surprises don't stop, even in this market. However, this time they are pleasant surprises.
The Loudoun County resale market doesn't have its usual energy this Spring, to say the least. Coupled with tighter lending practices, my associates and I were bracing (although we're always hopeful) for a tough Spring...it would take a text book buyer to get qualified to buy in this market.
Then it happened...though we doubted it would, as did the several loan officers I spoke with...a high Loan-to-Value deal with low down payment got approved. And this just weeks after the Countrywide announcements and the related industry news.
I'm … (0 comments)

loudoun county: How to stay optimistic in a down market? Grill out! - 04/23/07 09:10 AM
It's understandable that many sellers are frustrated with the slow progress of their sale, or low level of interest their home is attracting recently. Any many agents, at least in my home market of Loudoun County, feel they have over-used the bulk of their consoling comments, and are trying their best to keep optimistic in this difficult market.
Then it hit me...it's time to not let the home selling/buying process consume these customers lives and send them into a state of depression...(it still consumes mine, but, hey, I signed up for this!).
So, this week I'm asking my sellers to get back to planting their Spring flowers, refilling their … (4 comments)
