  When I listed this vacant Manassas home I put an artificial plant in one corner of the living room. That plant has been part of my marketing strategy in vacant homes for years.  If I have a need to request feedback I refer to "the vacant house with the artificial plant".  It works like a charm in refreshing an agent's memory  Of course, there are those who have ridiculed it, but the home sold quickly and will settle the end of this month.  No 6 or 7 month unsold listing when my little plant goes to work My marketing strategy includes much more than that little plant.  All of the following are provided at no cost to you It will be featured on Trulia Professional photography to maximize your home's visual impact in the MLS Online flyers with slide-shows will be syndicated to major sear... 05/13/2014

Avoiding Costly Housing Mistakes in the Midst of a Divorce Divorce is a tough situation which opens up many emotional and financial issues to be solved. One of the most important decisions is what to do about the house. You have 4 basic housing options when in the midst of a divorce: ❶ Sell the House Now and Divide Up the Proceeds –As you work to get your financial affairs in order, make sure you understand  what your net proceeds  after a sale will be - i.e. after all selling expenses. Then you can determine what your split of the proceeds will be. The split may not be 50/50, but rather may depend on the divorce settlement, the source of the original down payment and property laws in your area. ❷ Buy Out Your Spouse – This may require you meeting with a lender to determine how much you... 04/24/2014

You may not resell it readily without offering the buyer a "fantastic deal".  I took this photo sitting on the shoulder of a busy 4 lane highway.   OK, it's noisy and that doesn't bother you.That may be the least of the considerations a buyer will have when it's time for you to resell the home. Would you let small children play in the yard without supervision? Of course, you'll need a fence if you have children or a dog Will you plant trees to create privacy?  They won't minimize the noise. Once you put in  trees you won't have much area left for children, deck or dogs Did you investigate to determine what else may be planned for this major thoroughfare? If the the community doesn't have a pool or tennis courts that could have a negative impact with many buyers. Did you come out to the ... 04/21/2014

This unique 1930's waterfront cabin took longer to get a contract than normal. A home like this is not for folks who want a new house and no up-keep. Fish ponds, detailed plantings and a gravel road leading to the property scares potential buyers who are unfamiliar with old style country living.     However, the reward is an amazing one of a kind opportunity for a waterfront lifestyle close to the employment opportunities available in Northern Virginia, for the price of a small townhouse.       Jan and Steve Bachman of RE/MAX Gateway were the listing agents.

I will admit it, I am addicted to real estate. Always have been most likely always will be.  "That's one reason people hire me to help them buy and sell houses. They know I know the Prince William County Virginia area well." Take for example today. It's Sunday my self proclaimed day off due to the cold wet raining March weather we are having. Seriously, no one in their right mind wants to go out in this cold weather.  However since it is my day off, after doing the laundry, and the floors, and general housework my husband took me to lunch! Love this guy.On our return home, I asked. Bill  would you mind heading in a different direction?  He said "What's up?" He is such a good sport! I said. I would  like to check out a few subdivisions and photograph some of the homes on acreage lots. So... 03/30/2014

Prince William County Sales 2013, Standard, Short Sales, Foreclosures. Real estate activity in Prince William County Virginia is entering the spring market and folks are beginning to come out to look.  Many sellers, on advice of their agent, will advise waiting until spring to list a property for sale.  While I don't agree with that strategy, after all, there are more buyers but seller competition is vigorous. No matter, we sell homes throughout the year.  That said, there is a "bump" in buyer activity beginning about March and we're ready to help home buyers find the home to buy in Prince William County.  We are ready to help for 2014.Contact Lenn Harley, Broker, Homefinders.com, 800-711-7988, serving home buyers in Prince William County, Virginia.
