The Fall housing market 2014 is more balanced than Spring and Summer of this year. Marshall and I are seeing it first hand. We are exclusive buyer agents with Buyer's Edge in Bethesda. We work only for home buyers who faced bidding wars for houses in the Spring and Summer. It was challenging especially when the low inventory. But The Fall Housing Market 2014 Looks Good for Home Buyers Quick funny story. This summer, I took clients on an eight house tour. The homes were in Rockville, Potomac and Kensington Maryland, neighborhoods just outside of Washington DC. At the second house … (0 comments)
First a disclaimer: Home Buyers always choose their lender. Your agent may recommend preferred lenders, people they like to work with, but ultimately your lender is your choice.
And you should shop around and compare rates and fees! You do not have to close with the lender that pre-approves your mortgage.
Point #1 We like working with our preferred lenders because they offer competitive rates and loans while taking excellent care of our clients. In turn, our lenders like working with us because we bring them business. This cooperative relationship creates a … (4 comments)
There is one simple thing to do everyday that will create positive change in your business and maybe your life. But first, an analogy-
Imagine you are in a conversation with your friend. She is pouring her heart out to you. You, being the awesome listener that you are, are doing all the right things to validate her concerns and ease her mind. You do this by asking pertinent questions and displaying caring body language.
Even if you can't answer her questions or solve her problems-you've shown her that you care.

Summers can be brutal in Washington DC. This past summer, on one particularly hot and humid day, I climbed many flights of stairs in my quest to find the perfect condo for my clients. We covered several neighborhoods and over 11 buildings. I was a sweaty mess by the end of the day but I did it! Thanks to the … (2 comments)

1. Give away free stuff- My Broker told me a funny story. He had a previous client call and ask for help buying a home. The client said, "I have all this Buyer's Edge stuff in my house. When we wanted to buy a new home you were already on my mind!" I keep pre wrapped Buyer's Edge mugs in my car-just in case I have … (5 comments)

Alexandria Virginia sits along the Potomac River, a few miles from D.C. Walking along the cobble stoned streets with gas street lights, it feels like you've stepped back in time.

Using Your "Senses" When Buying a Home With over a foot of snow still on the ground, house hunting in the Greater Washington DC Area is a real challenge.

What are you smelling when you are in … (0 comments)

Sooooo adorable with her little fuzzy panda fur...but after some time, our conversation shifted to the real estate business. The Real Estate business is like most other businesses with times of stress … (4 comments)
buyer agent: Volunteer-Lead Positive Change for You and Your Community
- 01/18/14 06:29 AM
Volunteer- Lead Positive Change for You and Your Community I live in Montgomery County Maryland one of the most affluent counties in the United States. With that kind of distinction, you would think all the residents would know that littering is a bad thing. It's ugly, sets a bad example for kids and it's bad for the soul. But even in this affluent county, people litter. It's a fact. Some people toss beer cans in the woods, not the recycling bin, because it's easier. This presents us with a few choices We can feel sad & self righteous then angry We can complain … (5 comments)
