Atrium condos
Located at 1530 Key Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia, the Atrium Condominiums sit on a hill just between the Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro stations in the heart of Arlington. Appropriately blending into the cityscape of nearby Rosslyn, the Atrium can easily be mistaken for a hotel at first glance. The sky-high, glass enclosed front entrance of the building and the grandiose lobby and foyer area are at once noticeable and are the result of extensive renovations done to both the interior and exterior of the building in 2006. The Atrium features a 24-hour gym, a hot tub, an … (0 comments)

the: 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.

The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years. Some first-time home-buyers don’t understand how a buyer’s rebate can actually hurt their chances of buying a home. Some first-time home-buyers avoid getting a Realtor® because they wrongly believe they have to pay for a Realtor’s advice. … (0 comments)

the: Lobby at the Royalton
- 12/09/13 03:22 AM
Just inside the entrance to the Royalton there are two separate lobby areas. One is open with large modern furniture that quite frankly sort of reminds me of some of the pieces from Pee Wee’s Playhouse. But to the right behind a pair of glass doors is a great lobby that encases some of the best of modern styling.

the: Do you know what happens when zoning laws change the value of a property?
- 12/05/13 01:56 AM
Let’s say an imaginary developer named Harold Dumas owns a 100-acre tract of land along a major river. Harold plans to build a riverfront community
on this property; however, just before Harold applies for his building permit, he learns that the County has changed the zoning on his land. He is now prohibited from building residential development on this property. His property currently used as farmland can be used only as farmland or for light industrial usage. Can Harold expect compensation from the county for the loss he thinks he has suffered?
Harold could expect compensation for his property if the … (0 comments)

the: Arcturus on the Potomac
- 11/20/13 11:56 PM
Arcturus is a bright star in the night sky and a common name for sailing vessels, but it is known to area residents as that place north of the bend in the Potomac at Mount Vernon.
There are several natural harbors in and around Arcturus and at one time the area was a fisherman’s get-away: the perfect place for DC anglers to escape from the city.
There are few remnants of the fishing shacks here. One is more likely to find a multi-million dollar estate home in Arcturus these days. Most homes by the Potomac have piers and docks. The wooded … (2 comments)

the: Writing the Offer to Purchase
- 11/03/13 11:31 PM
When you’ve picked out the house, townhouse or condo you want to make your own, it’s time to write the offer. An offer is a written description of the terms under which you the buyer would purchase the subject property. If the seller accepts your terms the next step would be to proceed to closing and thus full ownership of the property. Although most Realtors in Northern Virginia use the standard Northern Virginia Association of Realtors contract there are many possible contingencies, addenda and options that will alter the offer to make it specific to your situation.
