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. Most were pretty pathetic and were/are written in a style similar to a Washington Post classified ad. Boring! But there was one blog that caught my attention, twowaystreetblog.com which is written by Emily Continue Reading

A Trove of (mls)information

March 12, 2012 By Doug Francis

MarketingCharts.com

It might as well be said by someone, so why not me? Everyone looking to buy a home is using the Internet. 100% = everyone. Whew, that feels good. After reading this morning’s real estate article in The Washington Post where they regurgitated a National Association of Realtors statistic that only 90% of buyers are using the Internet, I Continue Reading

Fire Safety at Home

October 4, 2010 By Doug Francis

As I sat reading The Washington Post with my fresh cup of coffee about a dozen years ago, I came across an article about a townhouse fire in Falls Church VA on Dominion Way. It had been the evening before, and I thought about the fact that some of my real estate clients lived on Dominion Way. "Jeepers, I wonder if they saw the fire?" I Continue Reading

House Hunting Fiction?

September 28, 2010 By Doug Francis

Frreman House along W & OD Bike Trail Vienna VA

I have joked for years with home buyer clients about watching too many episodes of HGTV's House Hunters, and that our home search isn't going to include a film crew (read an actual client comment). Most of them recall an episode or two, or how they seem to look at three homes and buy one of them paying market price. Well I almost fell over Continue Reading

Helping my clients add value to their home has always been important to me. My step-by-step recommendations are intended to increase market appeal, return more then invested, and help net more when selling.

Beyond just sellers, I have helped many new homeowners make smart design decisions when remodeling. We gutted our house and totally remodeled it, and I pass that experience along because living in a nice house is simply better.

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.

Transitioning Into Retirement | Your Real Estate Plan

Maybe it was the gray hair, the years of experience, or just being in my late 50’s that helped introduce me to clients who are transitioning into retirement and are downsizing. The baby-boomer retirement plan was accelerated by “Covid-19” as long time owners found the old house was just too big. The retirement dream became […]
