Open House? Who Benefits?
2007-07-16 00:08:00 So as I sat at my open house today I pondered the age old question of who benefits from an open house? Many sellers believe that open houses are necessary components to a well-rounded marketing plan. I say, “maybe.” The jury’s still out on that. I guess it can’t hurt, but it’s actually a very ...

The Apple iPhone comes home to? ME!!!!
2007-07-03 14:46:00 Yes, it’s true – I did it. I couldn’t help myself.

Build or Buy? Tough Choices
2007-06-27 04:32:00 This seems to be a favorite topic of discussion these days around Arlington.

2007-06-25 23:39:00 Yep, it’s pretty much a done deal – not “officially” but the word I’m hearing is that the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority has all but put pen to paper to pass the bill that will allow local authorities to increase the sellers grantor’s tax from what’s now $1/$1000 of sales price to a whopping $5/$1000 of ...

How much is too much?
2007-06-11 14:59:00 Pricing…. Not a scarier word has ever been spoken. In this market, whether you’re a seller or a buyer, pricing is the key. Is this house/condo overpriced? Is it priced right? Or better yet, is it “priced to sell?” Are comps valuable? Do statistics tell us anything? There are so many items of intangible value — ... More About: Club
