Haymarket Virginia - Homes for Sale - Foreclosure and Short Sales - A Tale of Two Sellers   This past spring I went on two separate listing appointments. Both clients were behind on their mortgage payments and I explained to them how a short sale works and advised they speak with a lawyer before they proceeded so they were fully advised on their situation. Client 1 opted to go ahead and list the home for sale and price it right. Client 2 talked to a lawyer who advised to have the home go to foreclosure. Client 2 felt that they would just wait for the bank to foreclose and that would be the end of it. I advised Client 2 that based on their situation that I felt that Short Sale was the best way to go as you are showing the bank that you are trying to work something out. Client 2 did not w... 10/21/2009

The annual Haymarket Day was held today, September 19, 2009.  And, believe it or not, this was the first time I was able to attend.  Usually Haymarket Day conflicts with the Dulles Aviation Customer Appreciation Picnic, but not this year!  Haymarket is a town within Prince William County with a very small town feel.  On Haymarket Day the main thoroughfare is shut down for a parade and vendors.  I missed the parade (and the pancake breakfast that preceded it.)  I did make it in time for fun festival food and crafts.  I LOVE crafts. While walking up and down the main drag my friend and I noticed kid friendly Thomas the Tank Engine shuttles and a Trolley style shuttle.  It was a lovely day so we decided to walk the mile or so stretch on our own. First stop?  Well, I ran into my favorite ve... 09/19/2009
