Flying to the Past: Claude Moore Colonial Farm

September 15, 2014 By Emily Yosmanovich

Claude Moore Colonial Farm Workers McLean VA

One Saturday morning, my son awoke, threw on his superhero cape, and claimed his superpower was flying to yesterday. Umm… okay… ever the teacher that I am, I figured this was an opportune time for a lesson on past and present. We chose a nearby destination that I had been to as a child, Claude Moore Colonial Farm, located just off of Georgetown Continue Reading

Reading at Patrick Henry Library

June 4, 2014 By Emily Yosmanovich

Patrick Henry Library Vienna Virginia

Even though I'm not teaching school these days, but rather staying home with my own kids, as summer approaches I still find myself worrying about reading. "Huh?" you ask. Yes, you read that correctly: I worry about reading over the summer.  It's not uncommon that children who make extraordinary gains in reading ability over a school year Continue Reading

Kitchen Safety and Firehouse Fun

October 24, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

Vienna VA VFD

Since becoming a mom and homeowner, I am awed by the number of uses for baking soda.  It’s the miracle of household items. If you add baking soda to your baby’s bath water, it will cure even the most stubborn of diaper rashes.  Cleaning your ceramic cook top?  Baking soda and vinegar will cut through all the grease!  Your potty-training toddler Continue Reading

So Long to Summer at Wolf Trap

September 9, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

Wolf Trap Childrens Theatre Vienna VA

It is always bittersweet when summer draws to a close.  Personally, this particular summer has flown by all too fast.  Our new baby arrived in June and now suddenly it is early September.  She’s not so new anymore, and I’m left looking back on the summer, lamenting activities we should have done, places we should have visited… Northern Virginia Continue Reading

Top Notch Pediatric Care at INOVA Fairfax Children’s Hospital

August 3, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

by Emily Yosmanovich, contributing blogger Years ago (in 1981) I was born at INOVA Fairfax Hospital.  At that time it wasn’t nearly as big as it is today.  And as the 54th baby born that day, I was almost born in the hallway while my mom waited for an open delivery room. Things have really changed since then.  The Fairfax Hospital campus has Continue Reading

A Little Summer Music for Tots

July 23, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

by Emily Yosmanovich, contributing blogger Earlier this summer, my family and I had the pleasure of taking in a performance by Rocknoceros during Viva Vienna on the Vienna Town Green.  My son, who is just a little over two years old, decided to be fiercely independent that day. Though we had found ourselves a nice patch of grass to settle Continue Reading

Biking Through Vienna

May 31, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

by Emily Yosmanovich, contributing blogger Before starting our family, my husband and I were avid recreational bikers.  We weren’t excellently skilled by any means, but we enjoyed taking our bikes out for long rides, enjoying scenic views and picnics along the way. When I got pregnant, I hate to say it, this almost weekly activity pretty Continue Reading

Being able to guide my clients through many real estate sales, either moving out, moving in, or just across town, has been a rewarding experience that helps when discussing a plan with a future client.

Being able to help them focus and understand our proven sales plan always eases their anxiety of this looming personal task. And, putting it into bite-sized steps always helps them get where they really want to be.

My background… I’ve been an active licensed agent in Virginia for 25 years, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and sell homes in all price ranges. I donate to the town tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Questions? Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 to discuss your plans. Cheers!
