Just Sold in Manassas Park:  Immaculate End Unit Townhouse in Belmont Station for $240,000 The townhouse my Buyers purchased in Belmont Station was like digging up a buried treasure.   After having their hearts broken with another Belmont Station townhouse(an undisclosed Short Sale) just one week prior to settlement, we continued our home search throughout Manassas Park, Bristow and Gainesville.  The Buyers really wanted to live in Belmont Station, but it seemed that every townhouse we saw listed was either too small or needed too much work. With the deadline to move out of their apartment looming in near future, I pulled the tax records for the townhouses in Belmont Station that were most like the one my Buyers had originally intended to purchase.  I started to mail out letters to the ...

How Do You Find the Perfect Manassas Park House When Nothing on the Market Fits? Less than one month ago, a newly engaged couple that I am representing to purchase a home had their hopes and dreams smashed.  They'd been under contract to purchase a regular sale that turned out to be a Short Sale.  The Seller didn't have the money required to make it settlement since there was a shortfall between the balance owed on his mortgages and the amount of the sale, but hadn't even attempted to get bank approval.  The Buyers and I got a notice from the Seller voiding the contract one week before our scheduled settlement.  Talk about a punch in the gut. The weeks following that sucker punch have not been fun.  The Seller seemed unsure as to whether he wanted to try a Short Sale.  We gathered this ...

Belmont Station Home Owners:  Do you Want to Sell?  I Have Buyers. Belmont Station in Manassas Park, VA may not be a very well known community, but it is exactly where a couple I am representing want to live.  Unfortunately, they were under contract to buy a Belmont Station townhouse listed for $219,000, scheduled to settle on August 31st (2011), but the Seller was unable to bring the shortfall of the mortgage payoffs and his other obligations to the table.  As a result, he voided the contract one week before their settlement. If you own a Belmont Station townhouse, and are interested in selling, let me know.  My Buyers would prefer a one car garage townhouse in Belmont Station, but they are open to the idea of a townhouse with no garage.  The location of the Belmont Station community i...

Warning:  The Benefits of a "Regular Sale" in the Current Northern Virginia Real Estate Market May Be Absent There is no doubt that the economy has had it's effect, in some way, shape or form, on just about everyone you know.  In the Northern Virginia real estate market, the effect is obvious when you hear of a Short Sale or Foreclosure hitting the market.  I'm here to tell you that even the "regular sales," the home owners with equity, have been hit by the economy.  And what that means to a Buyer may not be readily apparent. Right now I'm representing first-time Buyers who found the home of their dreams in Manassas Park.  And it was a blessing to hear that it was a regular sale.  Despite the disclosures by the Listing Agent that the toilet and sink in the second level hall bath were le...

When a local Lake Ridge Virginia couple called to ask questions about selling their townhouse and buying a move-up home, they were full of questions. Three weeks ago, I sat with them in their home to discuss their options. During our meeting this particular couple had already talked with a lender over the phone and were told what they could afford to hold onto their current home and rent it since they owned more on the townhouse that it was currently worth. So after discussing how I could assist them with renting out their current home, what all the fee's would be and how long I felt it would take, we set up a time to house hunt. All was well until they found the perfect home! Long story short, their offer was not accepted, not because they made a low offer, but because they were not ab...

A Positive Mental Attitude in Manassas Park A few weeks ago I noticed a house that burned down a in Manassas Park. I stopped by the house and walked around. It's obvious that the owners lost everything. The yard was strewn with children's toys blackened by smoke. The next day I caught up with the owner at the house. I offered to buy his house as is and save him the headache of rebuilding. He declined my offer saying he wanted to rebuild. Although he lost two dogs, his family is safe. The owner had a positive mental attitude and is looking to the future expecting great things. It is always refreshing to meet people who are optimistic in the face of tragedy and hardship.
