Neighborhood in the Newspaper! And I've Got a Home for Sale There

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Allegiance, Managing Broker/Branch Vice President

Advertising in the newspaper is one thing.  Publicity is a whole different matter.

One costs money.  The other's free.  One's fleeting.  The other's archived forever (or at least for a very long time).

For the second time in just as many months, The Washington Post has published a neighborhood profile in it's "Where We Live" Saturday edition, that #1 quotes me as the REALTOR and #2 is a neighborhood where I've got a home on the market for sale.  This type of publicity is priceless for me and more importantly for the sellers of those homes!

Here's a photo of yesterday's Washington Post profiling the Great Oak Square community in Falls Church:

Washington Post: Great Oak Square 

Here's the link to the full article online: "In Great Oak Square, the roots go way back." and here's a link to the home I have for sale there: 2871 Great Oak Court, Falls Church, VA for Sale: Simplified Suburban Living

Last month, the Parkway neighborhood of Arlington was featured in the same section of The Washington Post in the article "Where We Live: Arlington's Parkway neighborhood, tiny and tucked away"  Here's a link to the home that I have for sale in this Arlington neighborhood: Convenience and Charm for Sale: 2609 S. Four Mile Run Drive.

These are just two of our most recent exposures in the media.

Congratulations! It is neat to find yourself in the newspaper.  I had a conversation with our real estate editor about a month ago, and last Sunday I was quoted.  Go here and you will find me in the fine print.  You have a great spread! I want a big one like that next time. :)

KUDOS to you.....I think the current VALUE of MOST print media is in the stands at Panera Bread that I scan as I wait for my pager to beep

You are so right! This kind of publicity is priceless!. The post picked up one of my blogs a few years ago and it was a really big deal!

How is the activity on the house or is it already sold?
