Is the economy really feeble?
I was in Ashburn Village over the weekend showing some homes when my clients asked what a home would have sold for just a couple of years ago?

It’s Fire Prevention Week, Virginia!
It was a cold, late fall morning as I read the Washington Post about ten years ago. The Metro Section had an article about a couple escaping a burning home on Dominion Way in Falls Church... I took a sip of coffee. "Dominion Way, don't I have clients on that street?", I thought. "Right, I should call Scott and Jeannie to see if they saw Continue Reading
