Relocating to Northern Virginia

Last month, 454 people landed on my post Things You Should Know Before Moving to Northern Virginia which I wrote a few years ago. Readers are searching online for information and read the whole article… so I know that a lot of people are researching moving here.

Things to know is a really good start, but there is more in a section titled Living Here that you will find gives you extra insight. Some articles in this section were written by local Vienna Moms too.

I actually live and work here in Northern Virginia and, unlike blog posts on national web sites like Zillow, am not a professional writer hired to write about a town that I don’t know. I live in Vienna, and have clients in every community you will see on this site today. And if you don’t see something specific then send me an email and I’ll follow up with you!

So, here are important questions:

  • Where will you be working?
  • Will you ride the Metro?
  • Do you want a new home or is resale okay?

Vienna real estate agent Doug Francis

When we bought our house in Vienna, we were thinking about raising the kids, building an addition, and knowing the neighbors. Today, home buyers are attracted to Vienna because of the sense of community, walkability, and small town lifestyle.

So, what’s next after your 25 years? It’s a conversation many of my clients are having with me as they plan to move to the beach, travel, or get closer to grandkids. Helping them see their future, sell their current home, and move ahead with their updated plan has been an interesting new chapter.

My background: I am an active licensed agent in Virginia, have negotiated hundreds of sales contracts, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and still sell homes in all price ranges. I donate to the Town of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Let’s discuss your moving plans: Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 .  Cheers!
