Bristow, VA Listing Appointment Options During a PandemicThere are probably a lot of folks wondering if sellers are still selling and buyers still buying in Bristow, VA in the days of COVID-19 and the ensuing lock downs of businesses.  Fortunately for buyers and sellers in Virginia, our Governor has stipulated that real estate is an essential business.  That means we can still list and sell property.So how does a listing appointment work these days?  That depends on the comfort level of the sellers.  While I have offered to video conference with a couple of sellers to virtually tour their home and go over comparables remotely, sellers so far are preferring to have me come over in person to tour their home and go over comparables.  When meeting in person, I also offer to wear a mask and ...

Why is the Real Estate Industry Considered Essential?A couple days ago, Governor Ralph Northam gave orders for no-essential businesses to shut down as Virginians shelter in place to try and stop the spread of COVID-19.  Essential businesses that were allowed to remain open and working, with amended practices to allow for social distancing and sanitizing surfaces, were banks, grocery stores, pet stores, insurance companies and liquor stores.  Is real estate considered an essential business under the Governor's orders?  Yes. Many people in the real estate industry itself fail to realize how important our industry is, especially at times like this.  There are many buyers relocating to our state for jobs.  In fact, I have a listing  under contract right now with a buyer that is relocating t...

What's Going on in the Bristow Real Estate Market Since COVID-19?Wondering what is happening in the Bristow and surrounding real estate markets since COVID-19 made its appearance and put us into self-isolation and social distancing when in public?  When our daily lives change and take us into uncharted territory, we tend to get nervous and fearful.  Fear not.  Your Bristow Real Estate Professional is here to ease your mind.Buyers and sellers are still out there.  This past week I've signed up two new listings, a large single family home in Bristow and a condo in Haymarket.  Of course, already in the pipeline and preparing their homes for sale was a Bristow townhouse owner and owners of a single family home in Culpeper.  My buyers are anxiously waiting for their settlement in early April...

Fearless or Selfish?There's a wide division between the panic and poo-poo existing around COVID-19.  There are some that are so panicked that they are probably stocked with supplies of toilet paper and water that will take them well into winter.  Others are poo-pooing the impending epidemic because they are very low risk of anything major happening from contracting the illness and feel the cautions are too severe for something that they deem to be less threatening that the flu.Social distancing is being recommended to help contain the spread of this virus. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't taking it seriously.  Let's talk about worst case scenarios and exponential growth.This virus is suspected to be most contagious in the period before someone is symptomatic for seven to ten days. ...

Just Sold in Saybrooke:  5 Bedroom Home for $555,000On January 28th (2020,) I had the pleasure of introducing 12181 Cheshire Court to the market.  It was priced at $549,000, had five large upper level bedrooms, three finished levels, a walk up basement and a cul-de-sac lot.  The factor we weren't sure how to account for was the lot backing the busy secondary road, Linton Hall Road.  Years ago, Prince William County had put in a sound barrier wall, so there was no view of the road, but we knew that some buyers were going to have issues backing to the sound wall.After fifteen showings and a very busy open house, the sellers and I reviewed three offers on Super Bowl Sunday.  Real estate does not shut down for the day of the big game.  It took only seven days for this rare five bedroom home...

Thoughts on Open Houses as the Coronavirus Becomes a Looming Concern Watching the news or scrolling through Facebook,  it is clear that the coronavirus is at the very least, a legitimate concern for our communities.  A highly communicable, novel virus is on the loose.  The risk of believing this to be true is a knot in my stomach and paying very close attention to how often I wash my hands and touch my face.  The risk of not believing it is possibly spreading this virus to my mother and others in an assisted living facility by poo-pooing this public health alert.  There is no question that a flu could be life threatening to my mom.  A severe respiratory virus would kill her.  So I chose to believe this is a legitimate risk.  As a real estate agent, my job puts me in contact with a lot o...

If a Listing Agent Isn't Willing To... Let's talk marketing.  It is the single most important element to getting the absolute highest price and best terms for a seller.  As a Top Bristow Listing Agent, the first step to great marketing is having an honest conversation with my sellers about listing preparation.  In most cases, it doesn't take too much elbow grease to polish a home for market.  Decluttering, cleaning and touch ups are essential to setting the stage for listing success.  Of course, not all listing agents are ready to "tell it like it is" and get the importance of listing prep across to sellers.  Then again, maybe there are agents that just don't understand the importance themselves.  The thing about a seller's market is that even crappy marketing goes under contract rather...
