NEW HOMES IN STAFFORD COUNTY VA.  Getting To Know New Homes Agents. On our tour of new home communities in Stafford County on Tuesday of this week, I was pleased to see a very familiar face in the model home for Augusting Homes.  Augustine Homes is one of our favorite builders.  They have always had a good presence in Stafford County and offer wonderful luxury homes in lovely communities.          WHEN WE WALKED IN, the site agent said in a very friendly voice, "Lenn, what are you doing down here". I recognized him immediately from a new home development (different builder) in Loudoun County.  "Bob.  What are YOU doing down here?"  Fact is, new homes agents, unless they are with a large builder with multiple communities in an area, will often be employed by other builders in a nearby ar... 11/08/2013

New Home Construction in Stafford County, VA.  Cost Effective Upgrades. As experienced Buyer's Agents specializing in new home sales, we've learned a few things over the years.  For instance: The resale value of popular upgrades may not add to resale value.  In fact, we've seen problems with very expensive upgrades appraising.  One thing for sure, previewing a new home builder's model definitely will almost always "WOW" a serious new home buyer.  Buyers may have thought about what they would like in their new home, but that may change when they understand that some upgrades can add significantly to the bottom line when their home is priced out with their desired upgrades. ELEVATIONS:  The first surprise may be the exterior selections.  Most builders will have a selection of exteriors (e... 11/07/2013

Kitchens in New Homes in Stafford County VA, Beautiful and Functional. We work with a number of new home buyers each year.  Everyone has their individual preferences for the interior design, floor plan and amenities.  However, one thing is constant. THE KITCHEN IS THE FIRST ROOM MANY BUYERS WISH TO SEE! No wonder.  The GOURMET KITCHEN in new home models today are spectacular.  Of course, they are often upgraded by the builder for the model home.  However, popular builders today in Stafford County in the $400,000 to $700,000 price range offer many standard luxury features.  Stainless Steel appliances, contemporary lighting, granite counter tops, back splashes, islands and wood flooring are quite often standard.  What is a "gourmet kitchen"?   Builders generally refer to kitchens with cen... 11/06/2013
