A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words – And a Sniff?
With a quick read of the MLS listing, you will know – it’s bank owned, being sold “as-is,” it’s vacant, has an unfinished basement, says you will need cash or a “rehab” loan and to look in the document folder for information about the septic system. The document folder has 21 pages that discuss the […]

The owner’s goal was to create the “perfect condo,” and they did.
It all started with a fourth floor, corner location that is bright and airy due to the two balconies; one on each side. The rising sun comes in from the side and finishes the day with a peaceful sunset off the main balcony. The spacing between buildings is maximized while the building fronts the expansive […]
The Curb Appeal Says, “Welcome Home”…
…and after visiting, you will say, “I’m home!” After turning into the cul-de-sac, my first thought was about how nice the houses all looked. My next thought after parking in front was how nice the house and the new driveway both looked. After selling houses as long as I have, you get a feeling when […]
One of the Best Locations in Potomac Green?
The fourth floor means that no one is above you, and the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance with incredible sunsets means total enjoyment of your balcony. It’s also nice to feel connected to the community with the view of the grassy common area. You will never feel isolated wondering what is […]

The forecast has remained fairly mild all winter. However, it’s better to be informed before you’re staring at the shelves in a home improvement store debating your purchases. If you are thinking of putting salt on your icy walkway, you should read this first. When the snow comes there may be the temptation to use […]
Someone Who Comes Highly Recommended…
Are you, your friends, co-workers or neighbors thinking of buying or selling real estate in 2017? If so, the first step is to find a great real estate agent to work with. While that seems obvious and something that should be easy enough, unfortunately, it can be pretty hard. There are a lot of great […]
Don’t Call Me When You Want to Sell Your House…
…call me 2-3 months before you want to sell. Scheduling a yard sale is something that can be done last-minute: check a few days prior to see what Saturday’s weather is going to be, and give it a go if the forecast is clear and dry. Selling your house, however, requires more planning, as the […]
