			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This fantastic four bedroom colonial in the Virginia Run community in Centreville, VA that backs to true parkland, has an oversize screened-in porch and was a really good house to buy for my buyer clients. Turn key and not a short-sale. Doug was the &#8220;buyer&#8217;s agent&#8221; in this transaction.</p>
<p>The home was built in 1993 and featured the expanded floor plan.</p>
<h3>Shameless Home Buyer Agent Plug</h3>
<p>As my client&#8217;s &#8220;<a title="Realtor's role as a Buyer's Agent" href="http://www.dougfrancis.com/2010/01/the-realtors-role-as-a-buyers-agent/" target="_self"> buyer agent&#8221;</a>, I was able to keep this transaction together even though my clients were in California. Understanding their limited time on the ground here in Northern Virginia, I discovered what they wanted and showed them their options on a few of their cross country house hunting trips. When we discussed mortgages, I was able to uncover a unique solution to dealing with stringent new mortgage lender requirements. And when they decided on this home, put together a strategic offer that beat out a competitive offer.</p>
<p>After all that, there was not an extra fee charged by my company, the Sellers paid the real estate commissions, and my clients bought a great house that they are thrilled with!</p>
