just sold: Another Home "SOLD" by the Erick and Company Team - 06/01/12 01:29 PM
I love when a good plan comes together. It was back in February when the owners of 14069 Chattanooga Lane called me to talk about listing and hopefully selling their home. The home was only a few years old and in spectacular condition, however the challenge was the builder was getting ready to finalize the section. They were offering amazing incentives for home buyers who could wait for a home to be built. So that is why I created a marketing campaign that would appeal to relocating home buyers. The sellers of this home could move at anytime. They were what (0 comments)

As inventory dwindles in the Prince William County Virginia area, home buyers and sellers are left scratching their heads. Home-buyers are trying to figure out is now the time to buy? Those that go looking and hesitate on putting an offer in on a home, learn the hard wasy that the homes are selling before they make up their minds.

Foreclosed Family Gets To Hit The RESET Button! When you choose to hit the reset button on your computer, it goes through a process of clearing the memory of what just happened and allows the system to reset and restart. Well that's exactly what happened this afternoon in Woodbridge Virginia. A family that suffered through the humiliation and angst of a unwanted foreclosure, turned the key and entered into a home they just purchased today! Their story isn't unique, I am writing this to inspire anyone who facing or experiencing short sale hell or worse foreclosure right now. You can get (5 comments)
just sold: If you've been thinking of selling your home. It is time to call your local REALTOR® - 03/26/12 04:33 AM
This past week another one of sellers in the Prince William County Virginia area accepted a contract on their Woodbridge Virginia home. They will settle by June 1st, 2012. One lucky buyer who is relocating from the Norfolk Virginia area visited with their REALTOR® and within forty eight hours they were "officially under contract" . These buyers had a good plan, arrive early, and place an offer on the best home in their price point. They were shock to learn home inventory is very, very low in the Prince William County and Northern Virginia area.

just sold: Great News...for the homeowners of 14325 Springbrook Ct, in Dale City Virginia - 01/09/12 09:56 PM
Just a few days ago, I posted about a home that we listed at 14325 Springbrook Ct, Dale City, Virginia 22193. I did all the things I normally do for all our sellers. I make sure I prepare a marketing plan that is specifically tailored for their home. On day one of the day I listed the home they had a virtual tour, a private website, buyers could access information via text, QR codes, email, and on countless sites on the web. Erick and Company never rely's on the sign and the MLS alone. The result.....many,many showings and a full price (4 comments)
just sold: Another great example why a home buyer needs to get automatic email alerts - 12/29/11 07:23 PM
Early this year we had buyer clients who fell in love with a home, however they did not get their offer in fast enough. They never got up to bat so to speak.They were so upset. They finally found a large home in their pre-approved price range of $200,000 or less. The reason they were smitten with this home is it had a big flat fenced rear yard. Now, they would have to keep looking... Fast forward a few months. The buyers were receiving email alerts from our automatic home finder system everyday. One day, the home they lost out on, had just been updated in MLS as (2 comments)

just sold: As 2011 comes to an end, I can't help but say " what an awesome year! " - 12/21/11 09:12 PM
2011 was our best year in real estate for the past six years. OMG!!! It feels so good to say that. As 2011 comes to end, many of us take time to reflect. I'm doing so, by rewarding myself with a well deserved week off durning the holidays to recharge, reflect and to re-tool for the upcoming year. Back in 2008 when the market bottomed out, I only made $45,000 gross working full time in real estate. I barely held on, while other real estate companies were folding and agents were seeking full time work, I dug deep, learned how to change with the (5 comments)
just sold: Selling by short sale with two loans can prove challenging...especially if you are with Bank of America and USAA. - 12/19/11 06:08 PM
Finally it's SOLD! I have been assisting a family in the Westridge Subdivision with the sale of their home. The sellers called me after they had watched Erick and Company recently list and sell two homes in the acreage section off Tilney Ct . Both Tilney Ct sellers had tried sell and failed, prior to hiring Erick and Company . What makes this listing different is , the homeonwers were upside down.The challenge was they had two loans. Bank of America is the first loan and USAA is the junior lien holder ( aka-the second trust mortgage) As luck would have it, the sellers were eligible for the HAFA Program. This is a huge advantage for the (3 comments)

At the end of October 2011, we received a email from a Woodbridge Virginia homeowner who wanted to sell his home. When I called him and asked, how he heard about us, he said he found us ONLINE.

The only violation noted on the LRPRA HOA Resale inspection was the window grids were missing on a home we have under contract pending settlement. The seller almost blew a gasket thinking he was going to have to buy and install new windows. "How could this be he asked. These windows have been here for ten years and they didn't come with grids. Why didn't they say something before now? And for that matter many of the homes up and down the street don't have grids. What gives?" I suggested he go talk with the HOA since the windows have been installed for (4 comments)
