Filling in the Vienna Insider’s Guide… slowly

September 1, 2009 By Doug Francis

Most of the time putting together this blog is so exciting that I can't wait to get rolling every day. But often it seems like it may never get done since every new idea breeds another, and yet another brilliant idea.  And the actual selling of real estate gets heavy too. As a result, my older concepts get back-logged as I try to produce Continue Reading

Digital signatures = Better Service for my clients

July 31, 2009 By Doug Francis

The age of the digital signature has arrived… for my real estate clients. My motivation to add this technology came when a client faxed back a counter-offer to my office in June and it was unreadable. People just aren’t faxing as much, and when they find a fax machine it is probably more than five years old, and as you know, real estate Continue Reading

A big change for MetroWest… fewer homes.

July 28, 2009 By Doug Francis

UPDATE 9/2011: Pulte Homes has finally set up their sales office for MetroWest off of Lee Highway (Route 29) where they are building front load and rear load garage townhomes starting in the low $525,000 range.

Beulah Road and Trees in Vienna

July 8, 2009 By Doug Francis

Beulah Road, within the Vienna Town limits, was rebuilt in 2007 after twenty years of debate and multiple redesigns. This reconstruction started with the base road, added a storm water management system, replaced the 10” water main, added curbs and gutters, sidewalks and new above ground utility poles. The road was widened slightly but kept its Continue Reading

Earth Day 2009 in Vienna Virginia

April 22, 2009 By Doug Francis

Meadowlark Gardens Vienna Virginia

Happy Earth Day 2009! I feel like I really chipped-in today by recycling a house built in 1968.  Yes, selling it to new owners! Doug is helping save the planet again. Disclaimer: note that my sale was in Vienna, Virginia and not Hawaii as depicted in this photo. Did you know that the economic slowdown has had a "green" effect on landfills? Continue Reading

Going Green in Northern Virginia

February 27, 2009 By Doug Francis

I recently commented on a question posted on the Trulia web site regarding Going Green when making upgrades to your own house. It is easy to get overwhelmed with the number of issues and choices, and a recent survey showed that 90% of homeowners thought Going Green was important. The person asking the question simply wanted to get an idea of where 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.
