You would think that Northern Virginia Real Estate agents would get it by now, but I am still seeing some really bad house photos being posted online. It is a trend that a lot of agents across the country poke fun at, and even have blogs of the worst photos seen in their MLS. Anyone who is looking for a home to buy is starting out on the Continue Reading
A Collection of Buyer Tips
Take a few minutes and scroll through this collection of tips for home buyers. Just so you know, I like to write about experiences that clients have because you may be dealing with a similar issue and it might shed a little helpful insight.
Two Real Estate Markets in One
Northern Virginia home buyers looking to move to Vienna are witnessing an interesting spring real estate market in May. Well, at least I find it interesting because detached homes in the $530,000 range are seeing one market while the $1,000,000 plus range is seeing another. Last weekend, a RE/MAX Presidential team colleague put a 1960’s Town Continue Reading
“Almost” Home Buyers – Restrain Yourself!
"This isn’t the right time to buy his and her BMW’s." My Northern Virginia real estate clients have heard me deliver that line for almost two decades when we discuss putting together an offer to buy a home. It's meant to be funny, but also a very serious warning. Real estate sales contracts will outline the type of mortgage financing that the Continue Reading
Vienna, VA Home Sales Stats | Hyper Local April 2010
April will be a month that most agents will want to revisit for a long time as buyers picked up the pace to buy before the April 30th tax credit deadline and home sellers rushed their homes to market to capture that demand (read: premium).These "under contract" homes will close in May and June so those numbers should be higher If you bought, Continue Reading
Home Inspection Reports Really Matter
Having a home inspection contingency is essential when you are buying a home. But in Northern Virginia, I have seen a wide gap in the quality of the written inspection reports that home buyers are given by their inspectors. Specifically, it is the detailed description of the inspector’s concerns that he may have discovered and reported per the Continue Reading
Home Buyer Agents Get it Done!
Real estate buyers have the option of having an agent work with them during the home buying experience. A "Buyer's Agent" has an obligation to pursue the interests of the buyer finding suitable homes that fit their financial capability (budget), find homes with a good location, keep information confidential, and most importantly present any written Continue Reading
The Whimsical Zestimate Gone Awry
I had a good laugh recently when reading Kris Berg’s San Diego real estate blog as she discussed “Zestimates”. “Zestimates” are generated on the web site Zillow.com which has become one of the top-tier real estate web sites in the country. Zillow.com basically takes the MLS data, and then creates an exciting set of graphs and charts that people are Continue Reading
Vienna home is a deal close to the W&OD Bike Trail!
(Post from 2010) Sounds like good stuff but... Like my friend Heather out in Loudoun County VA, I see plenty of homes in my day-in, day-out job as a real estate agent. But, when the property is listed by another firm then I am not allowed to advertise it because it isn’t my listing. The amazing thing about this year (2010) has been the Continue Reading
