remax: Centreville Virginia is Voted #30 on Money Magazine's Top Places to Live - 07/12/10 09:49 AM
Located just outside of the Nation's Capitol, is Centreville, Va. 20 years ago, this was a tiny crossroads with a few townhouse developments and one grocery store. Now look at what Centreville offers!
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2010/snapshots/PL5114440.html
Many of us at my office live in Centreville and know the ins and outs of the area. It is bordered to the North by Chantilly and the South by Manassas.
Centreville is just 30-40 mins from Washington, D.C. That, and only an hour from both the Chesapeake Bay, and Blue Ridge Parkway. This is the perfect location to raise a family. Reasonable housing costs, and low … (2 comments)

Great Pulte Built Townhouse - Walk to Vienna Metro 9588 Lagersfield Circle, Vienna, Va offered at: $689,900

These homes do not come on the market frequently. The End units are maybe the most sought after homes that Pulte built. The large size of all the rooms, plus the bump-outs and first floor Study are just some of what makes the Stratford floorplan so special. This one is well priced and will not be on the market long. Give me a call today to see the best Vienna has to offer.

remax: Taxes Done yet? Did you see all those deductions? - 04/15/10 05:15 AM
Mine are finished. Thank goodness! I saw on CNN that 91 percent have their taxes done by now. I guess that is of the people that have a computer, and go to CNN.com. But, that is good news. Most of us are very responsible. I noticed many new deductions that are the also good news. The home buyer credits, the long list of energy saving deductions. A few new or improved deductions helping with raising a family. 2010 is almost half over. Still, it is a good time to plan for taxes next year. More home buyer credits and more eco-credits … (0 comments)

remax: Condo Owner Must Obtain HOA Permit to Perform Renovations to Unit - 01/26/10 05:34 AM
Back in late 2009, there was a landmark case in Ohio - Green Condo Assn Inc, vs. Gottieb. In this case, the trial court granted a summary judgment and permanent injunction in favor of the condo assn. They were seeking to enforce their rule that unit owners must obtain a permit for any renovations performed inside the owner's unit.

This case took almost 4 years, with allegations of trespassing from the owner. The court noted that purchasers of condominium units voluntarily submit themselves to the condominium form of ownership, which requires that owners give up a certain degree of freedom … (0 comments)

remax: FAQ about the Tax Credits for Home Buyers - 01/26/10 03:08 AM
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions on the changes to the Homebuyer Tax Credit

Question: Existing homeowner credit: Must the new house cost more than the old house?
Answer: No. Thus, for example, individuals who move from a high cost area to a lower cost area who
meet all eligibility requirements will qualify for the $6500 credit.

Question: I am an existing homeowner. On October 25, 2009, I signed a contract to purchase a
new home. I have lived in my current home for more than 5 consecutive years and
am within the new income limits. … (0 comments)

The U.S. Senate appears on the verge of extending and expanding the first-time homebuyer tax credit into 2010.

remax: Fast Times in Vienna, Virginia - 08/20/09 08:21 AM
Just last week, we closed on a sale of a great little Rambler located close to the Vienna Metro. How long did it take from the Open House, to Sale? It was the same day.

Amazing? Maybe, and we certainly earned our pay from the homeowner. But there is something more. Yes, after about two years, we are seeing a much improved real estate marketplace.

Sure, there are going to be ups and downs, but in the core areas of Northern Va, we see more dramatic recovery. We first saw this in Arlington, and then Falls Church. Now … (0 comments)

remax: CASH is King - Real Estate Values - 06/15/09 03:33 PM
When I was first in real estate, I was taught an age old phrase - "underneath all is the land". This came from a Latin statement many years old. It is one of those hard facts that folks come back to during hard times. Over the past week, we have seen oil costs rise, continued unrest in Iran, and the stock market continue its day-trading sine wave that demonstrates so much concern and indecisiveness in our market. Interest rates have ticked up somewhat, maybe a point or so. We see many with cash buying up land right now at a fast … (0 comments)

remax: Photography is Important Selling Your Home - 05/31/09 05:33 AM
Active Rain Blog-Studio Many times when we are researching listings for a buyer, we see homes for sale that have maybe one or two photos. In some cases this is so the listing agent can get calls on the property. They do not want to show too much unless they can qualify the person who is looking.

I have always felt this was a disservice to the selling homeowner. Sometimes they may not want their home "plastered" all over the Internet, but our school of thought is that the more that see the property, the better the chance the … (0 comments)

remax: Staging - does your Realtor provide this service? - 03/09/09 02:40 AM
Recently, we listed a nice 4 bedroom Contemporary for sale in Reston, Virginia. Having worked with the owners for over a year on their prospective
new home search, we wanted to move this home quickly. The Sellers were two very busy people, and needed our help with staging the home.

Just about every home needs some type of help before it is listed for sale. More so than in the past, your home must compete directly with homes
where either a professional stager has been hired, or it is newer construction. The most important piece of advice we can give … (0 comments)

remax: Vienna Virginia all Brick Home ready for you! - 11/20/08 03:15 AM
Every once in a while, we see one of those opportunities that just about everyone is seeking. The home that needs a tiny bit of care to move in, but one that is priced below the market, and would be a perfect remodel. Vale Road is one of those homes.
The owner has recently updated the HVAC in 2008.

Hardwood floors, large open rooms, and a 3/4 acre lot with private drive make this a great place. The home is located in Vienna, but is also just minutes from Oakton, and Reston.

North Arlington Virginia is a great place to raise a family, and an even better place for home values. Many of these older 1940-50's style homes have been remodeled. Most have been featured in garden clubs and this home was on HGTV. When we held our last Open House in the area, there were over 20 attendees. That is excellent.
