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.

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)

relocating to prince william county: Fair Weather Sellers Who Take Their Homes Off The Market or Those Who Say, "We'll Wait Until Spring To Sell Our Home" May Be Making The Wrong Decision. - 10/04/11 09:52 AM
Over the past few weeks I have met with a handful of homeowners who are thinking of selling. A few are ready to buy move-up homes, another would prefer not to rent anymore and another has tenants leaving out of the blue and is frustrated with timing.
Homeownes are always amazed when I sit down with them at their home and I show them all the data. Many just feell they'd rather not deal with the hassle of selling a home during the colder months and into the holiday season. Plus, most think their are very few buyers in the winter months.

This week has been a week brisk and it is only Tuesday!
I meet a young couple in Gainesville to house hunt on Sunday. They had several homes to look at. Three were promising however one really captured their attention. It was a single family home with a two car garage on a nice lot that had just come on the market the day before. The owners had only purchased in 2010 and were selling already for a (break even price!) My recommendation was make a full price offer, ask for some closing costs. The reason is  inventory levels were low. Get the … (6 comments)

When someone calls and  says they are looking for a waterfront home, they don't mean water-view or water access.  Well at least that has been my experience.

For some that it the ultimate dream waterfront home. In the Northern Virginia area we have some amazing waterfront opportunities.

"So You Are Moving To The Northern Virginia Area and You Want To Find an Affordable Place To Live"
I have been assisting home buyers relocating to the area for over two decades. Yup, I started my real estate career in 1991. I was a New Home Sales manager for NV Homes at the time. I sold everything from condo's, townhouses and luxury single family homes in the five years I worked there. However,  New Homes sales were is a massive slump and I needed to make a living, so I jumped into the residential real estate market and never looked back.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking a local Westridge  homeowner on a house hunting trip with downsizing on their minds.  The house we have listed at 12291 Tilney Court has received many showings and so far one offer that we were not able to make work.

The day began in Lake Ridge Virginia. The goal is something smaller, something manageable and something that she can see herself living in for years to come.
We started with a small home on Dapple Gray Ct … (3 comments)
