Founding Farmers Restaurant in Tysons Opens on February 5, 2015 Are you looking for an amazing breakfast/brunch place in Nortern Virginia?  Founding Farmers restaurant is finally opening its doors on February 5th in Tysons Corner.  Located next to Tysons II mall, Founding Farmers is a "farm to table" restaurant which focuses on "quality and natural ingredients." Now I don't have to trek into DC for a delicious meal.  This is one of the best breakfast/brunch places I have found in the DC area.  Although I haven't tried it yet, many people rave about their chicken and waffles dish.  The last time I was there with friends, I opted for a more traditional route with eggs, sausage, and pancakes that were delicious.  I don't think you can go wrong by ordering any dish on the menu.  In the DC ...

A Playground for Kids of All Abilities: Clemjoyntri Park One of my favorite things about living in Fairfax County is the access to various playgrounds and activities for kids. If you have kids, you'll want to go to Clemjoyntri Park in McLean, VA.  The two-acre playground is one of my son’s favorite places to play outdoors and one of the best ways I know to have him burn off his energy! Not only is it one of the largest playgrounds in Fairfax County, but it was built to allow children of all physical abilities to play as well.  Clemjoyntri features Virginia’s first Liberty Swing, which allows wheelchair users to experience swinging.  Each playground area also has features which help all children play, such as ramps to connect the play structures, rubber surfaces, and wider entrances to t...

Great Falls Park – Mclean, Va Yesterday we were lucky enough to get into the 70’s and I have a feeling it will be one of the last warm days in 2014. I decided to take a little break from the Real Estate world and set off for Great Falls Park. The park is over 800 acres and only 15 minutes from DC. It makes you feel like you’re away from the city as you stroll through the trees and climb over the rocks to get a glimpse of the water.   The park is trash free, meaning everyone has to take their trash with them. No trash cans are found on any of the trails. With yesterday being Veterans Day there was no charge to enter the park but, on non-holidays it $5 per car and the pass is good for 3 consecutive days for the vehicle. If you’d like to visit the park often an annual pass can be purchased...

Cup of Joe Report - Greenberry's in McLean, Virginia I am always on the lookout for a good cup of coffee. Yesterday I arrived to a McLean, Virginia home inspection early so I ventured out and see what I could find. Wanting to find a place I hadn't already tried, I stumbled across Greenberry's Coffee and Tea on Redmond Drive. I used to frequent a Greenberry's in Arlington so I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was that there were a lot of people sitting outside enjoying the great weather, friends and coffee. Upon entering, I was greeted by a friendly employee who showed me where to go to place my order. It was a cozy shop and most tables were full. Many people making selections and several happy employees making suggestions. I'm not into anything fancy, just a "cup of j...

Prediction for Early Spring Real Estate Market Differs from that of Groundhog by Karen Briscoe   Groundhog Day is when Punxsutawney Phil predicts whether the there will be early spring like weather or whether there will be another 6 weeks of winter weather.  On February 2, 2013, Phil saw his shadow which tradition proclaims means there will be 6 more weeks of winter.    Realtors® predict an early spring market by several indicators, the strongest of which is the attendance of prospective buyers at Sunday open houses.   Sunday buyer activity for a new listing is typically in the 10-15 group range.  The Huckaby Briscoe Conroy Realty Group with Keller Williams held a new listing on the market in McLean, VA priced right above $800,000 open on Groundhog’s Day.  There were around 50 groups in...

You have to be in it to Win It! You never know when you will win a contest.  Most brokers will host contests to get the energy going within the sales office.  If you are going to be a salesperson you need to be competitive.  You don't have to be sleazy in the competition, you want to be a good sport.  Working off of straight commission I'm in a competitive battle with myself everyday to determine if my business is a success.  I measure success by two methods: 1) Am I going above and beyond for my clients to exceed their expectations? 2) Was I good enough to be referred to their friends, family, colleagues? ...back to the contest. I was doubting that I should enter the office contest.  At the last minute and after receiving two email reminders I submitted my entry and what do you know I ...

I was on Bravo TV today...at least it felt like it. My broker hired a limousine bus to tour multi-million dollar McLean home sales.  The properties viewed during the tour are our featured office listings.  It was a great educational opportunity to sit back and take in the sights. If I can't get my husband to drive me around I normally take my bicycle; then I don't have to watch the road as much and stop and go as I please. Sometimes bicycling is not always an option; having a limousine bus to tour multi-million dollar McLean home sales is a great alternative. I provide information about properties, communities, subdivision, builders, walk scores, etc. like no other agent.  The internet can be overwhelming or difficult to navigate through to get exactly what you want. Any agent can assis...

Changing Face of Salona Village - the House is Gone!   “The house is gone!” my husband exclaimed as we were riding bikes around Salona Village neighborhood in McLean recently.  Home builders whose specialty is upper bracket “in-fill” construction have identified Salona Village as one of the top choices for  new home buyers that want to live in McLean.  The neighborhood is highly desirable as it is a short distance from downtown McLean, which offers numerous shops and restaurants.  The public schools are top tier preferred for Fairfax County:  Franklin Sherman Elementary, Longfellow Middle and McLean High School.  Franklin Sherman Elementary School and Salona are both located adjacent to the boundaries of the neighborhood.     The neighborhood name is derived from Salona, which is a priv...
