As a seasoned Northern Virginia Realtor (hitting 2 decades), many of my mentees have come and gone in the real estate industry. One of the common questions many of these mentees have asked me "How do I get that listing or buyers and have instead pipeline of the business? I am pumped up and ready to sell like HGTV. "As we all know Rome was not built in one day and so will be your business. I was a rookie once and was the envy of my peers who were successful. It sounded so glamorous seeing their volume of business and sales. So, I understand these sentiments my rookie mentees have. It is tough to be empty and waiting on that call or sales to happen. Over the decades in the real estate industry, I have learned: We live in a world of glitter and glamor. And sales are like a Vegas buffet. We... 01/10/2023

The Northern Virginia housing market is a hot topic right now, and for good reason. In recent months, we've seen a significant increase in the inventory of homes for sale in both Loudoun County and Prince George's County. According to recent data, inventory is up by 85% in Loudoun County and 92% in Prince George's County.While some may be worried about such a large increase in inventory, it's important to remember that this is a seasonal trend. Every year, we see a rise in the number of homes on the market during the winter months. This is because many homeowners choose to wait until the busy holiday season is over to list their homes for sale.For home buyers, this increase in inventory is a great opportunity. With so many options to choose from, you can take your time and explore the m... 12/21/2022

Selling a home can be a stressful and overwhelming process, but with a little bit of preparation, you can make the process go smoothly and potentially even increase the value of your home. Here are six things you should do before selling your home in 2023:Declutter the home: A cluttered home can make it difficult for potential buyers to envision themselves living there. Take some time to go through your home and get rid of items that you no longer need or use. This includes things like old clothes, outdated decor, and excess knick-knacks. By decluttering, you can make your home look more spacious and inviting.Finish the unfinished projects: If you have any unfinished projects around the house, now is the time to finish them. This could include things like painting a room that you never ... 12/20/2022

There's always going to be a million reasons why not to buy a home - whether the rates are too high, too much competition, prices are on the roof, the dog eating the offer letter earlier this morning, and so much more.However, you have to understand that real estate investments are for the long haul - which helps build a financial and wealth stability in your portfolio. Sure, some rates and prices can be a bit higher than your liking, but taking care of that property in the long run can give you a high yield in the next few years or decades once you decided to sell that home.In this buyer-driven market, it's all about positioning yourself to take advantage of what you have right now. Play with your strengths - sellers are much more willing to cooperate right now in this market shift. Do... 11/29/2022
