Thanks for the Offer on My Northern Virginia Short Sale Listing.  Are You Sure You've Done Short Sales Before? Being a Northern Virginia Short Sale Listing Agent has come naturally to me.  I have learned how to navigate the waters with banks facing a mortgage shortfall through actual, real life experience.  And in my neck of the woods, there is plenty real life experience to be had.  As my friend Elizabeth Weintraub points out in her blog on a regular basis, "A seminar doesn't replace experience."  These words were ringing loud and clear in my ears when I got an offer from a Buyer's Agent that had every Short Sale designation under the sun, and many other designations that made her email signature look like alphabet soup. First thing I noticed, was the outrageously low offer price.  Thi... 08/14/2010

Working as a Northern Virginia Short Sale Listing Agent, I have a unique perspective on many of the distressed property situations and the behaviors exhibited by sellers, buyers, real estate agents, banks and investors.  Maybe it's the journalism major in me.  I have a nose for news.  I want to know the ins and outs of every situation in which I find myself.  And the straight arrow in me, that likes holding a real estate license in the Commonwealth of Virginia, takes all the information at hand and figures out how to help my buyers and sellers without risking any of us to an extended stay in four cramped walls wearing orange jumpsuits.  I just have never looked good in orange, or in stripes for that matter. This morning, I received a request from a Buyer's Agent.  They had an investor i... 08/05/2010

It's been a long day.  The slight headache coming on right now is to be expected when you wake up at 2:30am, convinced that one of your furry babies is crying in pain.  Nope.  Checked all of  them.  The cats were sleeping soundly in places like the home office, by the front door, in the formal living room and in my closet.  Must be tomorrow's 40th birthday making me feel doomed and expecting the worst possible thing to happen.  I have a track record of bad birthdays. So not being able to sleep a wink, I found myself channel surfing in the family room.  A Mel Gibson movie I'd seen too many times didn't have me nodding off as desired.   I turned on CNN.  The news was sure to knock me out.   Think again.  I was amazed by the new HD pictures of the oil spill in the Gulf.  At 6:30am I decide... 06/09/2010
