Just Sold in Haymarket:  Rambler on Acreage in Thunder Oak for $645K On April Fool's Day (2019) I remember introducing 5311 Lightning Drive to the audience of Haymarket buyers, and any other interested folks on the internet.  At the time, the grass had no yet greened up on the near twelve acre lot and nothing was in bloom.  We were hitting the market April 4th to catch the early spring buyer rush, but Mother Nature was taking her time.  Nonetheless, we hit the market at $650K with the photos we had.With out of the ordinary homes, sitting on large parcels of land, it's not so easy to gauge how quickly the market will gobble up those listings.  The sellers and I were prepared for a longer ride on the market.  Maybe two or three months.  However, the market surprised us and after four show... 05/24/2019

When a Property Surprises YouOn April 4th (2019,) I had the pleasure of introducing you to 5311 Lightning Drive in Haymarket, VA.  When I first told you about this property some of you sensed my excitement over it.  Primarily I list homes in suburban, cookie cutter neighborhoods.  Getting a property off the beaten path is a breath of fresh air. Of course, not regularly working with unique properties on significant tracks of land, I could look at the comparable sales and see that those properties didn't necessarily move very quickly.  Nonetheless, I did what I do for all of my sellers.  I walked through the home, giving the sellers listing prepartion notes and, before our photo shoot was set, I walked through one more time to make sure that we were putting our best foot forward.  Measure... 04/16/2019

Just Sold:  Active Adult Attached Home in Haymarket for $515,000   Seems like it was just yesterday that I first told you about 5237 Armour Court.   It was the coming soon post on January 28th, two days before the home hit the market, that I got word out.  That same day was when three agents started blowing up my phone see the home.  When I took the listing, we had looked at comps that put the most likely sales price in a rangef rom $465,000-$490,000.  That was not a range my sellers were happy with, and rightfully so. They had improved the property so much.  The sellers wanted to price the property at $530,000 and I was happy to go to market with that price.Once my sellers pick a price, it is my job to justify it.  And the reason sellers hire me is that I'm an excellent salesperson.  S... 03/29/2019

The Business of Selling a HomeOriginally, I was going to title this post, "What is a For Sale By Owner Gaining Losing By Not Hiring an Agent?"  The answer I imagine coming from the lips of a FSBO would be nothing.  Having talked to many a FSBO, I can say that most honestly believe they are gaining by not having to pay a listing agent.  It is short sighted logic and focuses on what listing agents charge vs. what they bring to the table.The business of selling a home is essentially that of running a small business.  You set up shop and have one thing to sell.  Maybe that one thing is 123 Main Street.  Getting Main Street on the market is a task that professional, experienced real estate agents have down to a science.  Take me, for instance, a full-time agent serving Gainesville, Bristow a... 02/07/2019

Regency Attached Home Under Contract Before it Ever Hit the MLS Earlier this week, I shared a Coming Soon listing in Haymarket's Active Adult Community Regency at Dominion Valley.  Whenever I have the opportunity to share a virtual tour of a gorgeous home like this before it hits the MLS, I certainly do.  It was shared not only here in a blog post, but in two other ways.  I shared it in a local Facebook group of real estate agents whose practices revolve primarily around the Haymarket and Gainesville areas.  I also called agents who do most of the business in Regency at Dominion Valley, talked about what the home had to offer and followed up with an email of the virtual tour.  Not surprisingly, I had two or three agents interested before the home ever hit the market on Friday, February ... 02/02/2019

SOLD:  Three Bedroom Single Family in Regency at Dominion Valley How many offers does it take to sell a single family home in Regency at Dominion Valley?  All it takes is one offer, but not in the case of this home at 15569 Legacy Way, listed for $499,000.   The story of selling this absolutely pristine home is filled with buyers with unrealistic expectations and even one misrepresenting their ability to purchase.   What better day than Halloween to tell you the story of the tricks that lead to the ultimate treat of closing on this active adult home?  Pull up a chair.  You won't believe the things happening out there in this market. Before becoming active in the MLS, the seller of 15569 Legacy Way allowed me to let other agents know about the upcoming listing.  The home wasn't listed as... 10/31/2018

Under Contract in Haymarket After a Handful of Cash OffersWhat a whirlwind it has been in the Haymarket, VA real estate market this week.  Just yesterday I was at a settlement for a townhouse in Piedmont, realizing I had never even mentioned that 15569 Legacy Way in Regency at Dominion Valley went under contract on September 23rd.  On September 5th (2018,) I listed 15569 Legacy Way in the gated golf course, active adult community of Regency.  The seller and I had come up with the list price of $499,000.  We were prepared for the home to sit for a while.  At the time that we had looked at comparable sales, which was about a month before it hit the market, it looked like the average days on market for a single family home of this size in Regency was seventy-seven days.   When you are sell... 09/28/2018

Just Sold in Haymarket's Gated Golf Course Community of PiedmontOn August 15th (2018) I had the pleasure of listing 6177 Toledo Place for sale AND for rent.  The list price for sale was $427,500 and the rental price was $2,250/month.  I am not sure that I was prepared for the onslaught of interested tenants.  It felt like I was the only life boat in the aftermath of a ship sinking.  I was getting swamped with calls.  By the end of the first day on the market, we had two applicants burning up my phone.  And that first day, while we had six showings from the rental listing, we had only one from the sale listing.The owner really wanted to get out of the landlord business, so we decided to give the home a month to sell.  We withdrew the rental listing and focused on selling.  At that time, ... 09/28/2018

Should a Cash Buyer Have to Show Proof of Funds With Their Offer?When you have a listing in an active adult community, for residents aged fifty-five or better, you are bound to see cash offers.  What I continue to be surprised by is that the cash offers are more often than not, unaccompanied by proof of funds.  What the......I mean, come on!  If a buyer with a loan rolled up on a listing and said they were qualified to buy with a 5% conventional loan, ninety-nine percent of listing agents out there would not consider it a legitimate offer unless a pre-approval letter had been received.  And even at that, some pre-approval letters will have strong listing agents, like myself, calling lenders to see exactly how much they know about their buyer.  How long have they been at their current jo... 09/12/2018

When a Home Tour in Haymarket, VA Feels Like a Free-For-AllMy Saturday morning started by meeting new potential clients at my office--a couple looking for their first single family home.  Just two days prior, I had spoken with the wife, after she had inquired on our company website looking for an agent.  Her go-to agent had left the business, but had worked for our brokerage.  Having trusted the company, she decided to see what our website would provide.  As luck would have it, that Thursday afternoon, it was me.Our first call was rife with technical difficulties.  So frustrating, as they were on my end.  Once I landed at my desk for the late afternoon stretch, I called her back and got the info she was trying to give me earlier.  She and her husband were interested in seeing two proper... 08/26/2018

 Just Listed to Under Contract in Six Days in Haymarket, VA  On August 15th (2018,) 6177 Toledo Place in Haymarket's gated, golf course community of Piedmont hit the market, priced at $427,500.  The comparable market data told us that the home shouldn't be on the market long.  In July, when I first met with the sellers, the average days on market for a two car garage townhouse in Piedmont was eleven days.  The median days on market was five days.  However, we were about to enter one of the historically slow months in our Gainesville-Haymarket real estate market--August.After only two showings and four days on the market, this gorgeous split level floor plan townhouse had an offer.  A couple days later, after the sellers countered a few items, the buyer made the deal and ratified the con... 08/21/2018
