I personally have sold six homes in The Village Of Idlewild in the past twelve months. Why, because I love the small home town feeling community. If you've been searching,yearning for a community where the residents actively get together for socials, movie night, summer BBQ's, yoga, yard sales, meet your neighbor pot lucks, and keep each other informed. You are going to LOVE, I mean LOVE the Village of Idlewild. Many homeowners who have owned for years in this community have sold their smaller homes an upgraded within the community. That is a true testimonial to how nice this community is. It is the only amenity filled community in the City of Fredericksburg Virginia area.           "So that is why I am shocked this stunning like new home has not gone Under Contract yet."

      Property Appraisal VS. Home Inspection   Many people wonder about the difference between a property appraisal and an inspection, and how each is used during the home buying process.   An appraisal is a formal assessment of the value of the home or property. When you are financing a property, the lender will typically need an appraisal to determine the value of the home to insure the loan amount does not exceed the actual value. Some appraisals depending on the type of loan may be some what more in depth. My experience  with buyers that may be purchasing a home using VA Financing I have noticed that VA Appraisals are very detailed and may notice more than others.     An inspection of the home is to determine the condition of the structure and systems of the property. The inspection...

As the summer months draw to and end and all the kiddos head back off to school - life slows back down just a little for all of us. Mortgage interest rates have really gone crazy over the last few months and now remain low but not as low as they had fallen. The real estate market appears to be picking up in many of the major markets - and my area, being just down the interstate from Washington DC - is really seeing the stability returning to the market. There are many new and ancient mortgage loan products still available - now is still a very good time to take advantage of the market while you can!   There are conventional loans available with low down payments (such as  3% down) with NO mortgage insurance for qualified buyers. This is a huge asset to the current loan product portfolio...

The market continues to trend upwards. This is GREAT NEWS! However, it does appear that the "seller's market" is returning slowly as well. This is good and bad depending on what side of the fence you are on. Also, mortgage rates spiked greatly in June.  They appear to be stabilizing at this time but you never can tell what will happen in the long run.   Here is a report I pulled off Trulia for the Fredericksburg Market:   Fredericksburg Summary The median sales price for homes in Fredericksburg VA for Apr 13 to Jun 13 was $250,500. This represents an increase of 11.3%, or $25,450, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of 16.1% compared to the prior year. Sales prices have depreciated 3.7% over the last 5 years in Fredericksburg. The average listing price for Fredericksburg homes...

Another big mistake that could blunder your Social Media efforts is forgetting to HAVE FUN! Don't get so caught up in being politically correct that you forget who you are, where you live, or what makes you smile. Sure, everyone needs to know about your great product or service.  BUT don't forget the most important part of every day.  Otherwise your social media can become plain, boring and just like everyone else in your industry. Try off topic posts, events, humor.  You don't have to do it every day but once a week is a good goal. Keep people engaged, and interested.  Make them smile and give them a reason to come back to your site again and again.   Its your chance to show your individuality, your own creative side and connect to your friends and sphere of influence.

Social media has become the TODAY of marketing in any business or trade.  Any professional not using social media to market is really missing out on the band wagon. The biggest mistake myself or any professional could make is NOT using social media. Social media is a FREE platform for online marketing. There are so many tools that can be utilized for so many different audiences but it is by far the most effective tool available. If you are not familiar with social media you need to do some research, explore other professionals pages and even take tutorials on YouTube to learn! Here is a great link that helps explain SM and also provides some guidance for those that are not so familiar.   http://www.businessinsider.com/social-media-advertising-set-to-explode-2013-55     Good luck and hap...

First Time Homebuyers Guide | Fredericksburg, VA Short Sales The life-changing event of buying a new home can be both exciting and irritating. With home buyer issue reports of homes afflicted with structure, leaking rooftops or worse, it's no wonder some house buyers get cold feet. Prospective home buyers can save themselves from troubles by working with their designer on these helpful improvement do's and don'ts: Help avoid structure issues before it begins. Ask your designer to use steam retarders in addition to insulating material in your house's surfaces. Smart vapor retarders like CertainTeed's MemBrain allow wall cavities to "breathe" so excess wetness within the walls can evade. This inhibits the development of fungus. Other steam retarders can snare wetness in your surfaces, cre...

The  homeowners who own this very pretty yellow home with a front porch in The Village of Idlewild, in Fredericksburg Virgina have decided to sell. They are buying a move-up home and it will be ready at the end of September. This home oozes street appeal. The light yellow siding, white trim, black accents and black iron like fencing, courtyard and patio.       Even better, this is one of the most private lots in The Village of Idlewild. When the owners purchased this home originally they paid an additional twenty thousand dollars just to get this lot. That's because no one can build in front of the house or to the left of the home.
