This 4 bedroom, two car colonial wasn't your typical short sale in Herndon, Virginia... it was much better! Lots of space, finished lower level, big bedroom sizes.

Buying a short-sale in Northern Virginia
So you pulled up a listing in the neighborhood that you would kill to live in and it is priced $100,000 below the last sale. "Honey, get the keys cause we are gonna buy that house", you say wildly.
