My RE BarCamp DC quick take-aways…

By Doug Francis

Image by brokersaunders via Flickr Real Estate BarCamp D.C. (#rebcdc) took place on Tuesday and it really was an all-star cast. At one point I sat in a session with Daniel Rothamel and three other AgentGenius.com writers (darn, I should have called TMZ)… so the celebrity sizzle was there. Did you miss it? Seriously, BarCamp was filled with a Continue Reading

Doug’s RE BarCamp prep-class for newbies – 2009

By Doug Francis

Oh, to go to RE BarCamp…in Virginia Beach. So I woke up extra early and made the three hour drive to Virginia Beach yesterday. Luckily the State Troopers had already pulled over speeders (everyone was going 70+) and the Interstates were wide-open... so it was an easy trip listening to my XM stations. In classic RE BarCamp style, it took place Continue Reading

Off to RE BarCamp in Virginia Beach

By Doug Francis

So I made it into the RE BarCamp in Virginia Beach next week to learn a little more about the exciting world of blogging, social media, and technology. It was pretty easy since I just had to register and suddenly was on the "Who's Coming" list. What I find interesting is that the organizers seem to emphasize that it is an informal, “ad hoc” meeting Continue Reading

Vienna real estate agent Doug Francis

When we bought our house in Vienna, we were thinking about raising the kids, building an addition, and knowing the neighbors. Today, many of those great neighbors have retired and I was able to help them take that next step smoothly.

So, what’s next after your 25 years? It’s a conversation many of my clients are having with me as they plan to move to the beach, travel, or get closer to grandkids. Helping them see their future, sell their current home, and move ahead with their updated plan has been an interesting new chapter.

My background: I am an active licensed agent in Virginia, have negotiated hundreds of sales contracts, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and help clients get organized helping maximize the value for today’s home buyer. I donate to the Town of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Let’s discuss your moving plans: Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 .  Cheers!
