Doug Francis Real Estate Blog in Vienna and McLean Homes for Sale, Fairfax and Arlington with a little humor too. Easy Home Search
Jeepers! I go out of town for a family vacation (as most of DC does in August) and come back to get an e-mail from Zillow.com (yes, that Zillow.com) that I am included in their D.C. REALTOR Blogger poll?

By the way… my primary purpose is still selling real estate in Northern Virginia!
About Doug FrancisDoug has been selling homes across Northern Virginia since 1991. Tapping into his geeky side, he created this WordPress blog ( dougfrancis.com ) in 2009 which has been used as a small business case study in an eBook, mentioned on MSNMoney and discussed at a Realtor Association conference. In his spare time, he enjoys iPhone photography using Instagram and using his Canon DSLR to capture the world he sees every day. Morning coffee is also a must.
A few years ago I noticed that real estate sites seem to show the same MLS listings, so I decided to create a distinct real estate blog to share my local insight - if you already live here or are relocating. There are topics based on recent client experiences, buying custom homes, and more learned over the past twenty years. Take a few minutes and read a blog post or two to see if my approach matches your goals. I am a real estate agent with RE/MAX, have lived in Oakton and McLean, and live in Vienna Virginia. My goal is to provide you with intel into today's market, candor, practical advice, ideas to get you moving, some humor, geeky stats, the best coffee shop, some video, and a cool way to search for homes. Helping you understanding the process of making an offer, the sales contract and more will come when we meet. Yes, I live here. It is easy to reach me: doug@dougfrancis.com or call me to discuss the real estate biz. 703-304-6827 ~ Cheers!
