arlington: Do I really need a comparative market analysis?
- 01/20/14 04:46 AM
“I care about my clients and enjoy making their dreams come true.”
One of the greatest skills that a Realtor can bring to the table for you is a knowledge of property values across a wide range of areas. For a seller or landlord, this means you strike the right balance between getting the most value from your home and selling or renting it in a time frame that allows you to either move or capitalize on your investment.
Simply looking at a neighbor’s property and assessing yours based on their sale is fraught with dangers. Realtors factor in … (1 comments)

- 01/14/14 01:42 AM
The Sycamores at Van Dorn offers garden-style condos in close proximity to the metro. The setting is quiet and pleasant despite being remarkably close to the Beltway.
Like many of the garden-style condos built in Northern Virginia area after about 1990, the Sycamores has a breezeway with broad wooden stairs in the common area. This design greatly reduces condo fees for several reasons. Firstly and mostly, maintaining and operating a safe elevator can be a big part of your condo fee especially in a smaller community.

arlington: About Virginia’s Economy
- 01/10/14 03:45 AM
Virginia has highly diversified economy based upon many sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, technology and government. Traditionally agriculture was the mainstay, but farms now follow other sectors in employment and income generation. Tobacco, Virginia’s historic cash crop, is still the leading agricultural product in Virgina. But, grains, corn, soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, cotton, and apples (especially in the Shenandoah Valley) are all important.
Wine production is a new and growing sector and has gained some importance; but the major sources of agricultural income are now poultry, dairy goods, and cattle, raised especially in the Valley of Virginia.

arlington: Do you know what a condo is?
- 01/07/14 11:43 PM
A condominium is real estate with certain specific properties. Although there are various types of condominiums, the most common legal arrangements involve individual ownership of each unit, with joint ownership of the communal or common areas by all of the residents in the building. Condominium developments can be commercial or residential.
In the case of residential property, a condo can be composed of one or more a high-rise buildings, garden-style buildings, townhouses and—in special causes–even consist of individual houses. While some condominiums are located in large multi-unit buildings, others may be detached form each other and be located in a gated … (0 comments)

arlington: Why do I need to sign a buyer’s representation agreement?
- 01/06/14 11:19 PM
July 1, 2012 agents are now required to have buyer representation in writing in the state of Virginia. Realtors must disclose which party represented in a transaction prior to showings. Without a clear understanding, many clients are hesitant to sign (perhaps you do not know the agent well enough to commit or think there is a fee for a buyer rep- there is not). I would recommend signing a limited agreement for a day to view 1 to 2 homes. If you are comfortable with the agent after the initial meeting, then extend the agreement for the purpose of finding your … (0 comments)

- 12/18/13 05:14 AM
I just received this:
I am a student interested in the field of real estate. I understand that a real estate agent makes money on the sale of a property based upon a percentage of the final sale price. I was wondering how a real estate agent makes money on a lease of a rental property?
Thanks for the help, Jim

arlington: Why Some Buyers Snap Up Retirement Homes Early
- 12/18/13 05:02 AM
With home values falling over the past few years, some buyers are seeing a great opportunity to buy their retirement home now instead of waiting until they retire years later.
For example, in one of the largest retirement areas in the nation — Century Village in Boca Raton, Fla. — the average age of a new home buyer has dropped from the mid-70s to the low 60s in the last year. Charlie Rocque, 56, may not be ready for retirement but he already bought his retirement apartment there for $20,000 (though it was valued at around $75,000).

arlington: About Real Estate Contracts With Contingencies
- 12/16/13 02:45 AM
Real estate contracts sometimes come with contingencies. This is a part of the contract that states certain conditions or timelines are met or the seller or buyer can void the contract. The conditions or timelines can be any that both parties agree on and are put within the contract.
Contingencies usually last for a specified period. Once the contingency ends the contract could end or the contract is valid without the contingencies agreed upon.
Usually the buyer is more eager to have a contingency plan but in today’s economy and market they are more widely accepted by both sellers and … (0 comments)

arlington: Do You Know Which Metro Line is the Best for a Purchase?
- 12/10/13 03:41 AM
The platform at Huntington Metro
I am one of the few people who are from here who are actually from here. That is to say I was born in Fairfax and have lived much of my life in Northern Virginia.
When I got out of the Army and moved back to Northern Virginia, for a time I worked as a government contractor at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which is located at L’Enfant Plaza in Washington DC. As you may know, parking is pricey and limited at L’Enfant, so the Metro was my best choice for commuting.

arlington: History of the National Cemetery in Alexandria VA
- 12/10/13 03:34 AM
Arlington National Cemetery was featured in Gardens of Stone and numerous other feature films. This has no doubt added to Arlington’s mystique and celebrity.

arlington: Do you know who pays to maintain your condo?
- 12/09/13 03:35 AM
The historic Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria is more than 250 years old.
Everything built by man requires some maintenance at some point. Even so-called maintenance-free homes require some attention. So when making the transition from renting to buying, one aspect of home ownership that must be considered carefully is maintenance.
Renters enjoy few advantages over buyers, but one benefit of renting is that in most cases renters needn’t worry about the expense maintaining a property. Many first time buyers aren’t ready to take on the hassles and expenses of yard work, gutter cleaning, painting and so on, and for … (0 comments)

arlington: Do you know what happens when an agent quits, dies or moves away?
- 12/09/13 03:33 AM
Nesbitt Realty lists and sells property in Northern Virginia.
Take the example of an imaginary agent name Charles Valiant of Imaginary Realty. Charles’ client Dana Tennett wants to sell her house. So Dana approaches Charles. Dana signs a 90 day exclusive listing to sell her home. A week later, Charles decides to “chuck” it all. He moves to Japan and puts his license on inactive status.
What happens to Dana’s listing? Does it just become an open listing because the agent is gone? Is the listing voidable on the grounds of abandonment? Does the listing remain in effect? Or, … (0 comments)

arlington: Five Reasons to Hold an Open House
- 12/09/13 03:26 AM
Not all real estate practitioners are enthusiastic about the effectiveness of open houses, but here are five good reasons to consider holding one:
Julie sold another!
The odds are low but sometimes open houses lead to a sale. Home sellers like them. They like seeing their real estate professional working hard for them. Visitor feedback is good for sellers. Other real estate practitioners tour open houses and they sometimes produce sales. Open houses engage people, including friends and neighbors who might bring in a buyer.

arlington: Do you know how may an appurtenant easement be terminated?
- 12/06/13 02:25 AM
An appurtenant easement can be released by the dominant estate. An appurtenant easement is also released if the necessity for the easement no longer exists. An appurtenant easement is one of two primary types of easements. The other type of easement is an easement in gross. An easement in gross is attached to a particular person but the appurtenant easement is attached to a particular parcel of land. Either of these types of easements may be created in a variety of ways (express grants, express reservation, necessity, implication, prescription, agreement, and by condemnation). Each may also be terminated in a variety … (0 comments)
