success story: Local Homeowners wanted to Sell and Buy but were paralyzed on the how! - 08/07/17 06:57 AM
Manassas Virginia homeowners wanted to buy a brand new move-up home and wanted to sell their current home. 
They just did not know how to do it.
          "They were afraid they would wind up with two mortgages and an unsold home!"
We first met the owners of 8519 Thomas Drive Manassas VA at the end of May 2017. Patty and I arrived took a tour of the home and then sat with the owners and laid out all of their real estate options. Within a few days they made the decision to go ahead and sell and buy … (3 comments)

success story: From cramped townhouse to dream home in Forty Five days! - 02/27/15 02:07 AM
It was a Sunday Morning in January that Patty Blackwelder and myself went to meet a couple who had dreams of selling their cramped townhouse that they had outgrown many years ago.
Walking in, it was very evident they had no room.
Fixing it up while living in it was virtually impossible. 
When we sat down with them, they had done their homework. They learned they could qualify for a larger home, and they had enough money to purchase it. The only thing is their were paralyzed with the fear of owning two homes.
Two sets of utility bills, two mortgages … (2 comments)

success story: Success Story- " It's amazing how your life can change in 45 days!" - 08/15/14 08:46 AM
The weekend before July 4th, 2014, I met with a couple who found me online and asked if we could meet. 
At that meeting they explained that they were just vetting REALTORS® to decide who to work with. I had no problem meeting with them.
At that meeting we discussed what their budget was, what funds they had available for the down payment and closing costs and and what they were hoping to find. The budget under four hundred thousand. They left, and were going to make their decision on what REALTOR® they were going to hire.
"Turns out they called me … (2 comments)

success story: Lake Ridge Virginia Condo Owners Move-up To a Larger Home! - 02/14/14 12:12 AM
This year in Lake Ridge Virginia is turning out to be the Move-Up Year. Those of you who own a home in Lake Ridge Virginia and you have been dreaming of buying a larger home may be in luck.
Here is a very good example. In November a homeowner contacted me via a Facebook Private Message. They said they wanted to buy a home, however needed to sell their condominium in The Vinings in Lake Ridge. Lucky for them I know that community really well. I have personally lived their twice and listed many and sold many homes the years there.

From every window of this condo you will see tree's and nature.
Hardly what you expect from a condominium complex. 
Best of all you will not have to enter any hallways, or breezeway to enter your home.  You simply walk up to the unit, turn the key and you will find a two story foyer entry. As you go up the stairs to your flat … (3 comments)

success story: Frustrated Commuters Say Uncle and Sell Lake Ridge Virginia Home - 10/30/13 10:57 AM
Frustrated Commuters say UNCLE!
With growing responsibilities at work and with a growing family and a growing commute, something had to give... (bet you've said that a time or two)
It was earlier in the summer that a past client called and said "Peggy we are thinking of selling our townhouse and moving closer to where we work. We are thinking we want to live in Fairfax County Virginia. We're not ready just yet, we just wanted to alert you."
A few months past and we had set them up to start receiving automatic alerts of homes in the area's where … (0 comments)

success story: Another Home Just Sold in Westridge Subdvision in Lake Ridge Virginia - 02/26/13 02:14 AM
 

 
It was December 2nd 2012 when I listed Chambord Lane for sale in the Westridge Subdivision near Lake Ridge Virginia. I had just  helped the owners buy their move up home in the area. Once the move was completed, it was time to get the  Chambord Lane home on the market for sale.
"Just placing a sign in the yard, and a lock box on the door and praying to the heavens above that it will sell is not what I do. When a seller hires me to help them sell their home I go to work. "
With the use of Social Media sites … (0 comments)

success story: Frustrated Sellers Turned Into Raving Fans - 02/08/13 06:58 AM
My latest review online is a great learning lesson for all those out there who advise sellers who want to sell, to wait for the spring market. That could prove to be a costly mistake in more ways than one.
I received a call on  January 3rd,the homeowner said they heard  and read my blog that I had just sold a home in their community for top dollar. They were referred to my blog from a neighbor.I went to see them on the 5th and what I learned shocked me.
After they had interviewed an agent and had set plans into motion to go on a house hunting trip … (1 comments)

success story: Downsizing is hard to do. Finding the right home takes time. - 01/10/13 04:58 AM
It was early this summer, a couple called me stating they had their sights on moving to the Lake Ridge Virginia area.re They shared with me that they hoped to downsize from the lifetime home in McLean Virginia to be near their daughter here in Lake Ridge Virginia.
The challenge. They had there heart set on a one level rambler. An over 55 Community would work for them, however they only wanted to be in Lake Ridge Virginia. Also the home had to be a detached home, not a condo. Fast forward, they hired me as their Buyers Agent and I would send them all of the … (6 comments)

success story: Another local Lake Ridge Home Buyer Buys a Move-Up Home - 10/08/12 09:35 AM
This year I am thankful to have helped many local Lake Ridge Virginia homeowners make the choice to buy a move-up home. Today, was a big day for one local family whom asked for my help a few weeks ago.
 
 
After really listening to what they wanted and needed, it was clear. The search would not be easy. Sometimes when you are looking for the perfect home in the right school district, you must really survey, compare and really explore all your options.
These clients really needed at least two baths on the bedroom level (if not more) and wanted an open airy light filled home  … (0 comments)

success story: Foreclosed Family Gets To Hit The RESET Button! - 04/13/12 08:59 PM
Foreclosed Family Gets To Hit The RESET Button! When you choose to hit the reset button  on your computer, it goes through a process of clearing the memory of what just happened and allows the system to reset and restart.
Well that's exactly what happened this afternoon in Woodbridge Virginia. A family that suffered through the humiliation and angst of a unwanted foreclosure, turned the key and entered into a home they just purchased today!
Their story isn't unique, I am writing this to inspire anyone who facing or experiencing short sale hell or worse foreclosure right now. You can get … (5 comments)
