Vienna, VA | My Buyer Agent tip of the week… compare
Last Sunday I popped into an Open House in Vienna, VA to take a quick look at a home for sale. Yes, I can get in anytime with my SentriCard but, in this case, I was on my way home from showing a listing and it wasn’t out of my way.

But infill development typically happens in communities where vacant lots exist, and there really aren’t any vacant lots left around Vienna, Virginia.
