AVOID THESE MORTGAGE MISTAKES   This all may seem like common sense, but you’d be surprised the number of people who ask these questions, or even worse don’t ask and inadvertently lose their mortgage approval. Many seemingly simple actions can hurt your chances or disqualify you from obtaining a mortgage or delay your closing while you clear them up. You must assume that the lender will re-verify your employment, re-check your credit, re-verify your rental history to see if you’ve paid everything on time while under contract. They may also ask for updated bank statements, so make sure any money you told the lender you have is still in the same account. If it’s your first mortgage or your tenth, review these common mistakes to learn or refresh your memory.  Here’s what every potential h... 01/17/2016

What kind of neighborhood do you want to live in? A neighborly place may seem rare these days, but we’re seeing a sense of community becoming more and more important to home buyers.  Here are some tips on HOW TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR1. Be open and welcome new comers It can be awkward starting a conversation with a random stranger, especially if you’ve been neighbors for months, or possibly years. Would you be upset if someone showed up to introduce themselves with a bottle of wine or a plate of brownies? Probably not, so go for it! It doesn’t mean you’ll be best friends for life, but at least you’ll know who you’re waving good morning or good evening to.2. Strike up a conversation When you see a neighbor doing yard work or walking their dog, strike up a conversation. Keep it light and avoi... 01/14/2016

TRIO Grill in Falls Church, Va 22042I recently had dinner at TRIO Grill in Falls Church and I cannot wait to return. TRIO is located off of Lee Highway and just a few minutes from the Mosaic District in Merrifield. Both their food and service were top of the line.The menu has something for everyone, beef, chicken, duck, lamb, pork, and eggplant. The drink menu is extensive and I found the wine list to be very impressive. There is a great bar section with plenty of seating if you don’t want to have a formal sit down meal. There is also a nice covered outdoor space that I look forward to returning too this summer. From the moment we walked in we couldn’t have asked for better service. The atmosphere is upscale and inviting.We started off with the Arancini; fried hand rolled Risotto is fil... 01/06/2016

After many years in a home it’s no longer just a property or a “thing”. It’s part of your life, it’s part of your life story. It can be an extremely difficult decision to part with a place in which you’re not only comfortable, but which also holds a lot of memories. Even a wonderful home can start to be a burden and difficult to keep up with. After many years most homeowners start deferring maintenance. There are several things at play. The most common is you just get used to it. I know in my house we have a two missing thresholds. They’ve been missing since we got the floors refinished years ago. The contractor was supposed to come back and install them, but we simply didn’t follow up to ask him to come back. We unconsciously decided to just live with it. At least once a month I think ... 11/04/2015

 I met with some wonderful new clients last week. They’re excited, motivated first time buyers, I feel like I could have pushed them into writing a contract if I directed their excitement and got them involved in the art of the deal.But, something told me they weren’t ready. They were kind of all over the place with their motivations to buy, wanting to create an investment portfolio, make a lot of money of fixing up a place, finding a neighborhood where they’d like to have a family, maybe rent and hold a property. We found a property that fit all of their criteria. We parted and I said “How about you take some time to think about it before we do anything. If I don’t hear from you by next Wednesday, I’ll reach out and see where you are. Keep in mind this property may not be available the... 10/06/2015
