Video Driving Tour of Cameron Station in Alexandria Virginia

You've heard about the Alexandria community of Cameron Station. Perhaps you've seen pictures online. Or even read about it right here on my blog:

Now, I present a brief video driving tour of Cameron Station filmed on this beautiful Spring day. It's the next best thing to actually being there yourself.

DISCLAIMER: Don't try this at home. Videotaping while driving can be dangerous to yourself and others, and possibly result in a fatal automobile accident. Trust the driving to a trained professional REALTOR. (My next neighborhood tour may be a walking tour!)

Brian... In Connecticut we have laws that prohibit using a cell phone while driving or you are subject to a ticket.  Hope you had the strapped to your head so you don't get fined.

Brian...   Excellent idea for relocation buyers, I can't imagine trying to drive and film too...

I have a great video I shot while driving down the turn lane - until I almost hit a police car :( - now I make my kids drive while I shoot!

Brian, you always add a touch of unexpected humor!  Glad the pedestrians are OK!

DAN:  Virginia doesn't yet have that law, though D.C. does.  I used the Flip Video camera, not a cell phone.  However, I was driving quite slowly both for safety reasons and because I didn't want to subject viewers to a roller coaster type ride through the community.

DEBBIE:  Thanks for your comment.  I just held the little camera right above the steering wheel.  As I mentioned in the post, I think that next time I'll do a walking tour!

MICHELLE:  Glad that you didn't hit a police car.  Sounds much safer sitting in the passenger seat.

04/16/2008 10:05 PM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


PAT:  Glad you enjoyed the video and my sense of humor.

04/16/2008 10:05 PM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Brian... Figured you were using Flip Video and maybe since it isn't a cell phone the Connecticut laws would not apply.  My camera arrived a few days ago but I haven't really had a chance to play with it.

Brian - that looks like a dangerous job!!  But it does give you a good feel for the neighborhood.  What about the night time tour.  :)

DAN:  Perhaps not, though I still don't recommend driving and videotaping at the same time unless you have the camera on a tripod or someone else is holding it.  Even then, narrating while driving can get distracting.

04/17/2008 03:17 PM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


NAOMA:  I thought that the video tour would give a good feel for the neighborhood.  I doubt I'll be doing a night time tour anytime soon.

What a great tool to offer home buyers! You must have an active relocation business and this is a great way to service them!

04/19/2008 03:03 PM by Shannon Aldrich ~ NH & Maine Real Estate Seacoast (Keller Williams Coastal Realty)


SHANNON:  Thanks for your comment.  I look forward to providing tours of some other neighborhoods.

04/21/2008 08:16 AM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Brian, you just gave me another use for my Flip Video.  I loved the tour and was impressed with your driving while filming skills.  I think I may only be capable of a walking tour, but WOW!

04/21/2008 04:34 PM by Chelle Gassan-NOVA Realtor and Stager (Weichert, Realtors and Staged Homes VA)


CHELLE:  Thanks for your comments.  I think that the neighborhood tour can be a useful tool for relocating buyers to learn about the area.

Brian~ what a great idea!! I really enjoyed your commentary as you were driving, I almost felt like I was in the passenger seat. BTW~ I don't think you made a single full stop at a stop sign, a real Realtor on the move, LOL

05/16/2008 08:49 AM by Lisa Ryan~Selling Princeton,West Windsor and Montgomery Township New Jersey (Prudential NJ Properties)


LISA:  Thanks for your comments.  I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.  Stop at a stop sign?  Do people do that?  I'm too busy trying to make it to the next home...
