Is there a more charming urban village than Del Ray, Virginia?Del Ray is popular for its fabulously eclectic mix of single family homes, artsy downtown, independent spirit and proximity to Potomac Yard and Old Town.Del Ray grew from several subdivision tracts; Hume, Mount Ida, Saint Elmo’s and its namesake Del Ray.

  Sinking Sidewalk? Why Replacement Isn't Your Only Option A sinking sidewalk isn't just an eyesore; it's a serious trip hazard for you, your family, and guests. Uneven pavement inevitably leads to stumbles and potential injuries, creating a liability concern for homeowners. Why Does Concrete Sink? Exterior concrete slabs, like sidewalks and driveways, are constantly subjected to environmental forces. The primary culprits behind sinking concrete include: Soil Settlement: Over time, the soil beneath the concrete compacts and settles naturally. Moisture Fluctuations: Water saturation causes soil to expand, while drying causes it to contract, leading to movement. Poor drainage often exacerbates this issue, a common problem needing driveway repair in areas like Maryland and Virginia. Frost ... 11/18/2020

I'd made an appointment for a Friday after work showing, and it was exactly what my buyers wanted.  Except for one thing.  Just before leaving the office, I noticed another brand new listing that had an awesome view of the Potomac River.  So instead of leaving the first one to go write a contract, we did a little detour toward the River. This place was amazing, and the price tag was, too.  And the pet policy worked for my clients, who had two tiny dogs and a cat.  So we ran back to their temporary digs, and I cranked out the offer, slipped it into Docusign, and off to the listing agent.   It was a good, solid offer, and the seller signed it the next morning before the first of two weekend Open Houses. So if your Realtor grabs you after work to see the great new listings, you've got a le... 07/24/2016
