Does The Buyer Fit The Neighborhood?  Can You Say Anything? This past summer, I sold a home to a young couple who I was not sure would fit in the neighborhood.   Not because they were of a different race or culture, but because I knew the ilk ( I know the people - very good people) of the neighborhood, and I had gotten to know the family fairly well.    I felt in my heart of hearts that they were wonderful people and they had bought the very best house in the price range in the town they were looking in.   But the neighborhood was not going to be a good fit for them.    I could not figure out what to say, so I said nothing.   It will probably work out, as they are a very quiet and good family, and do mind their own business, but I really was hoping they would find a neighborhood where t...

Lately, I've learned that if you can keep the parties talking, you can get many "apparently" hopeless deals to work out. I'm in the midst of one right now. The house is listed right at the max it would sell for in our market. The buyers are qualified to buy, but the sellers need to have a near full price offer to continue their purchase of the home they have under contract.  The buyers of course made their initial offer well below the list price. A parent has been advising them from the bleachers, and their initial offer was met with irritated sellers who almost didn't respond at all. That's where the conversation comes in. I met with them at their kitchen table and we talked, and talked and talked. They finally realized that the buyers are first-time buyers with zero experience. They f...

  Nothing better than white board fences enclosing paddocks lined with autumnal glory eh?   Northern Virginia extends from Arlington across the Potomac River from the Nation's Capital to the City of Fredericksburg 40 miles north of the gateway to the real South at Richmond. If a person served more than 15 years in the military, odds are that they called The Pentagon, Ft. Belvoir or Quantico their duty station for a stint or 2.  The FBI, CIA and all the places where people work but cannot say so....are here. But, no need to be afraid...these are the same folks who play music in the pubs, paint water colors for the fairs and bake cookies for the swim meets.  With a population larger than nine US states, Fairfax county is the economic driver for the region yet Fairfax and its sister counti...

    Can you believe it?  It’s time to “Fall Back.” It's important that you remember to turn your clocks back one hour.  We certainly don't wish to miss out on a gifted extra hour of sleep, which occurs just once a year. So, didtch daylight saving time tonight, or early Sunday morning.  Let's welcome the approaching winter months! The page of the calendar for 2014 have fallen more swiftly than the leaves of autumn.  It's difficult to believe the holidays will soon be here!

A seniors reflection - a re-blog post by Conrad Allen Seven years ago I became a Senior Citizen and can totally relate to what this Senior is expressing in his writing. A few quotes below that I enjoyed. "Broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect."  "MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!" "Good friends are like quilts-they age with you, yet never lose their warmth."  I am forwarding this to those on my Seniors email list because it is so well written.  I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.  Whose business is it, if I choose to re...
