buyer information: Relocating To Woodbridge Virginia? " Relax You Will Be Treated Like Family!" How Can We Help You? - 12/10/08 09:56 PM
This week, I've been working with a client who lives in Washington DC and has decided that  he wanted to relocate the Prince William County Virginia Area. The Lake Ridge  VA area, seemed to be the nicest and closest affordable area near I-95. He hadn't been to this part of the Northern Virginia area before so he needed a good overview to be sure he was making the right decision. In his case since he lived in Washington DC ,he was accustom to walking many places, the walk factor  for his new home was very important to him.

buyer information: Local Realtor Says" Luck Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity!" - 11/17/08 10:44 PM
Everyday being a Realtor I am always amazed by people who call and want to look at home I've listed or that they have seen on the Internet. The first question I typically ask is have you been Pre-approved yet? In most cases the answer is a resounding No...I'll do that if I find a house I like.
 Wow! That's like going skiing down the Expert Trail when you're a Beginner.
RISKY!
Here's what should happen. This is what happens when you get pre-approved by a lender ahead of time.

buyer information: Local Woodbridge Realtor Shares Tip On How Investors Can Find The Best Priced Homes. - 11/10/08 01:21 AM
The local media keeps pounding us, with how terrible the real estate market is, how foreclosure filings continue to grow in Prince William County and how the credit crisis will continue.
For Investors This Should  Music To Your Ears!
For me personally, I am saddened that so many hard working people have lost their homes. That they had to give up the dream of home ownership, and will face years of hardship from a foreclosure rating on their credit report. There are so many victims. However, that's the silver living for you. That's the only positive I can find in this market. I'm thrilled to be … (1 comments)

buyer information: Did You Know You Can Buy A Single Family Home In Woodbridge Virginia For Under $200,000? - 10/22/08 12:50 PM
Today I was house hunting with a relocating couple from upstate New York.  
They were excited at the possibilities of getting a great little house, maybe even a bank foreclosure home that they could fix up. Not to much, maybe just carpet and paint. They will be here for the next four years. All they wanted was a nice little rambler or little single family home under $200,000. Something that would fit the king sized bed, with a good sized kitchen, large enough for two people to move around in. The conversation continued..."Peggy, if it had a nice level yard and it was in move-in condition that would be fantastic."
