You don't see this everyday in our area of Lake Ridge Virginia. We have a homeowner who had reduced their home price less than the tax assessment. Why? They want to relocate plain and simple, it is time.These folks had a contract on their home earlier this year and the buyers pulled out. Since then the owner neutralized the home more, most of the furniture is gone, the house can be turned over to a new buyer as soon as their loan is processed.So with that in mind, the seller asked me what will it take to get someone to come see my house this time of year. I said " Money!"  I explained you are already priced under the tax assessment ( unheard of by the way) so the next best thing is to offer up Closing Cost Assistance. So they agreed."Let me ask you? When is the last time someone offered...

Westridge has had good sales so far this year. That said resale inventory is increasing as we head into the summer months. So far twenty three homes have SOLD and Settled, five homeowners have completed all the required inspections to sell and are heading to settlement and two homeowners just received offers on their homes.. More good news. Westridge sales are a big stronger than 2013. By this time last year only 20 homes were Under Contract or SOLD. However by the end of the year 50 homes listed and sold in 2013. The big difference is in 2013 the market time to list and sell your home was less than 30 days. That has changed as inventory increases. NOTE:Patty and I found  the buyer to the home on 4111 Trevor Lane off Darnley Road  (technically on a Crestridge Lot) and that home is now u...

    It was December 2nd 2012 when I listed Chambord Lane for sale in the Westridge Subdivision near Lake Ridge Virginia. I had just  helped the owners buy their move up home in the area. Once the move was completed, it was time to get the  Chambord Lane home on the market for sale. "Just placing a sign in the yard, and a lock box on the door and praying to the heavens above that it will sell is not what I do. When a seller hires me to help them sell their home I go to work. " With the use of Social Media sites such as Active Rain, Google+, Facebook, Twitter and Craigslist we can typically get information that your home is For Sale quickly. We do not just rely on the MLS. To make things more challenging on this one, the holidays were upon us. No Pressure! LOL! Traffic was good however we...

Westridge Subdivision is one of my favorite subdivisions to sell homes. Why? Because I live there,I am a homeowner, neighbor and I am passionate about the community and what it has to offer. Westridge Subdivision is a mixed use community of detached homes, town houses and condo's. The community has it's own Elementary School and two community pools a club house that residents can rent out for a nominal fee for large parties or events. I can share personally, it is a great place to live. With shopping and services in either direction of the the main entrance make life a whole lot easier. Commuter options are car pool,van pool, and a short drive to the local communter lots at Tackett's Mill and Telegraph Rd area's Maybe that's why so many Westridge Subdivision homeowners have chosen me to...

Many of you who in live in the Lake Ridge Virginia area know Pat. She is a long time original owner in Westridge Subdivision. Well on Friday, her journey of selling her large Westridge home and downsizing to her smaller home was finally completed. She settled on her new home! This is the smile of woman who is very happy and tickled to be buying a brand new home! Now she gets to do all the fun stuff. Nest! Below is the home that Erick and Company sold for Pat just a few months ago. It was located at 12291 Tilney Ct, Woodbridge Virginia.  It was early in February 2011 when she had grown frustrated with trying to sell her lovely home in Westridge. She had been on the market for months with no offers. When she asked me if I could help her sell her home, I said "Of course I can sell your hom...
