REMINDER - PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE...IN A MOBILE WORLD!!! - 04/27/08 04:16 PM
Gee, and I thought EVERYONE knew how to print an attachment!!!! Not true! As much as we'd like to believe that everybody is internet and computer savvy....there are still those out there who are trying their hardest to get/stay current but just aren't there yet! We need to slow down, assume (I know, ASSUME will make an Ass out of You and ME)......that your client KNOWS NOTHING about computers. (1) When you send a doc, call to confirm receipt of the document!!! WOW - you mean communicate verbally???...not on email or text? YES I MEAN VERBALLY!!! (2) Ask how many attachments were

HOW DID WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? - 04/23/08 11:39 AM
An educational opportunity is what we called it. A chance to learn about short sales, the process, the problems, etc. What I didn't expect was an education on greedy financiers and builders willing to sell their souls for a sale. Get this: SCENARIO: a foreigner - here for 20 years, building his cash reserve to eventually bring his entire family to live in the wonderful US of A. Became a US citizen dreaming the American dream...driving a taxi in DC. His son, a plumber, living here as well. A cousin, willing to rent from him. A "friend" who told him two years

FAUQUIER COUNTY HORSE FARMS - IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK (PART IV) - 04/14/08 11:21 AM
The final "gig" on farms in Fauquier County!!! More and more realtors are out showing properties - with clients who may not understand much about farms. Questions to ask may be: (1) Can the land be subdivided? (County zoning will be of great assistance here...with a phone call, or some $$$..either is a HUGE investment in understanding before buying!!!) (2) Can anybody build a home around me? (3) Are there easements? (Gee, do I have to share with somebody else? If so, who does what to keep it useable?) (4) Is the well and septic on my property or elsewhere with a deeded maintenance agreement?

FAUQUIER COUNTY HORSE FARMS (PART III) - 04/09/08 03:27 PM
Wow, it's springtime and babies are here!!!! What a joyful time...unless you have "normal" babies who like to frolic and play....and sleep! Here's where the right fencing and the right HEIGHT of fencing can be critical!!!! ALWAYS be sure the bottom board is located either high enough that a baby can't get it's delicate leg stuck under it...or it is low enough that it can't get it's leg through it at all!!! Rearing and playing are a given. Babies (horses too for that matter!) LOOK for ways to get hurt. I guess that is the key in deciding what kind of

FAUQUIER COUNTY HORSE FARMS (PART II) - 04/02/08 01:42 PM
Gee, the listing says "horse potential".....and just what might that mean? To an experienced realtor, it means the listing agent is trying their darndest to get somebody in the door to look at the property with an eye to the future! As a reminder, my last post talked about pastures - if you look at a wooded property with an "eye to the future"...the future in terms of useable pasture will be at least 2 years. That doesn't include the cost of clearing the wooded property....of fencing the wooded property.....putting up a barn, arenas, or anything else horsey in nature! True equine
