washington: Auctions - 12/23/08 01:08 PM
Auctions…they are just so 19th century, right? Several months ago, I went to one with a buyer, for a home she had in mind in Reston, VA. She had a budget. Auction bidding went right past it. She eventually got a home on the street that she also loved, though at (0 comments)

washington: "The Next Hot Spot" Washington Business Journal - 08/28/08 10:44 AM
Just published, though I'm not sure how the Washington Business Journal selected the neighborhoods. The metrics are listed, but why would Capital Riverfront or Brookland not be included?

washington: Metro Washington Congestion - 05/08/08 02:27 PM
A few weeks ago, Forbes published it's list of most congested cities. Oh joy, we made the list! Washington, DC made the list at #1. Hardly newsworthy to the locals, and this does help those on the Washington Metro understand why they are packed in tight, the system averaging 800,000 riders daily (0 comments)
