February 14, 2014 By Doug Francis

Vienna VA Nelson Street

8th in 2014 New Vienna House Series Now that the roof has been put on, our house is really starting to feel like a home (okay, a carpenter's home).

Kitchen Safety and Firehouse Fun

October 24, 2013 By Emily Yosmanovich

Vienna VA VFD

If you add baking soda to your baby’s bath water, it will cure even the most stubborn of diaper rashes.  Cleaning your ceramic cook top?  Baking soda and vinegar will cut through all the grease!  Your potty-training toddler Continue Reading

Viva Vienna 2013 Virginia

The phone rang and it was Craig in Texas who has been getting daily email updates from me, "Doug, what's going on in your market up there?" Again, my phone rang and it was Pat in L.A., "so Doug, based on our research things look a little "heated" over there in those Vienna real estate prices. What are your thoughts?"

Fun with a new Contributing Writer

June 1, 2013 By Doug Francis

It all started when I stopped into Chipotle for lunch and did some searching on my iPad for blogs in Vienna or Northern Virginia.

But there was one blog that caught my attention, twowaystreetblog.com which is written by Emily Continue Reading

Vienna real estate agent Doug Francis

Everyone has a different reason for moving. Helping people focus and put a life plan together isn’t what most people think of when they hear “Realtor”.

Where you are in life today will be our starting point, from first home, marriage, kids, cross-country relocation, retirement, divorce, to estates. Yes, I’ve helped people navigate happy and difficult times.

All conversations are confidential, and helping my clients achieve their unique goals is my mission.

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 of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Let me help you: Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 to discuss your plans. Cheers!
