Probably one of the best Internet advances has been the ability of home buyers to search for homes online. Most of those sites though can lead you to believe that buying a home is almost like buying a book on Amazon, read the review, click and it’s shipped. It simply isn’t that easy, sorry.

Home Buyer Agents Get it Done!
Real estate buyers have the option of having an agent work with them during the home buying experience.

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.

A little marketing tip is to put a home into the MLS database Thursday to feed all the IDX sites out there that send e-mails to registered home buyers. Continue Reading
Helping prepare a 40 year-old home to sell
A significant number of the homes in Northern Virginia were built in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. Yes, a lot has been built since then, but the building booms in those times constructed significantly smaller homes and much faster.The total number of homes built in the 1970's alone outpaces the most recent boom time. Best of all, they were Continue Reading

Today’s real estate consumer has so much information available that is specific, in depth and literally on demand that it has transformed the role of the real estate agent… for the better. The way consumers get mortgage information is better too as home Continue Reading
It’s time to re-connect… my resolution for 2010
Happy New Year! Like most of you, I recently sat down to review the last year and look ahead to 2010. And like any business person, I took a long hard look at my real estate business, the Northern Virginia real estate market as a whole, my relationships with clients, and where I saw the business in the new year. One of my primary thoughts was Continue Reading
