I LOVE SPRING TIME.  The Landscaping Comes Alive.  Sadly, Much Was Lost Due To An Extremely Harsh Winter. Spring is everywhere in the air in Lovettsville.  Bulbs are blooming.  Just drive around on weekends and observe the Lovettsville home owners tending to spring landscaping needs and making repairs to their homes.   Outdoor chores we attended to at my Lovettsville home this past weekend include: 1.  First grass cutting of the year.  It wasn't too tall, about 4.5-5 inches.  We cut it back to 4 inches.  I'm hoping that the generous length will discourage weed growth without the use of chemicals. 2.  Removing dead shrubs from the landscaping.  This is a cause of real sadness.  I lost many lovely shrubs due to the extreme and extended cold, windy winter.  If I had had just a few wonderfu... 04/21/2014

GEESE SPOTED IN LOVETTSVILLE VIRGINIA. I've seen a few gaggles recently, but always around water or flying over.  That wonderful and distinctive "V" that clearly identifies geese flying over never fails to impress.  I realized long ago that the goose is a lot smarter than we often believe.  Of course, that applies to most wildlife, as any hunter or fisherperson can attest.  SPOTTED IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY HOME IN LOUDOUN COUNTY THIS MORNING.   Courtesy, Lenn Harley, Broker, Homefinders.com, 800-711-7988, serving home buyers in Loudoun County Virginia.             HOMEFINDERS.COM HELPS HOME BUYERS. 04/17/2014

On My Planet, There Will Be No "Agents".  AGENT:  Of or pertaining to the relation between a fiduciary and his or her principal: a fiduciary capacity; a fiduciary duty.     Why No Agents? A better question is Whom does the "agent" serve? AGENT:  A person or business authorized to act on another's behalf.   For years, in continuing education classes about agency, I've been taught that: 1.  Before we can be agents, our position as an Independent Contractor must be formalized.  This is done with an Independent Contractor Agreement between the agent and their employing broker.  Without an employment agreement, we are licensees in limbo and probably in violation of the tax law.  2.  As an agent of our employing broker, our employment agreement will, or should, identify the duties and respons... 04/02/2014

My First Real Estate Experience!  I Thought It Was Always Going To Be Easy. Many years ago, before I knew any better, my first real estate transaction(s) was memorable.  My first sellers/buyers were dream clients.  That experience was truly memorable.  It also influenced how I relate to buyers all these years.  Be willing to give the clients, buyer or seller, the attention required to get the job done.  Pay attention to details and listen to the clients.Be willing to work hard no matter how easy the first experience is. It was my time for telephone duty one Saturday afternoon when a lovely young couple with two children dropped in.  So, they were mine to work with.  That's the way it worked.  I loved them the minute they came in an said the magic words:  "Will you help us find a home?" ... 04/01/2014

Housing Materials of Choice.  In My Area, the Mid-Atlantic States, Housing Exteriors Begin With Brick.  Alternatives to brick are numerous.  Some good.  Some not so good. First there were many homes with clapboard siding.  I remember them well.  However, the painting every 4-5 years was time consuming and costly.  What to do? Build homes with asbestos siding.  No painting needed.  However, the risk of particles of asbestos invading the air and our lungs was frightening.  What to do? Easy, cover the asbestos siding with aluminum siding.  No toxicity.  No painting.  However, after a while the panels would fade and deteriorate.  What to do? Easy, use fiberboard/Masonite.  No toxicity.  Rarely repainted.  However, after a few years, it would deteriorate.  What to do? Easy, use EFIS, better ... 03/13/2014

Ramblers for Sale in Loudoun County. One Story Homes. ALL Active Listings. I've had two calls this week from folks interested in Ramblers in Loudoun County, VA.  They were attracted by my ActiveRain blog post of October 2013.  Problem is, that post was for new construction for Ramblers in Lovettsville to be delivered in March 2014.  The home must have been purchased by October of last year to be delivered by March 2014.  The new Ramblers are worth waiting for.  The home sites are large, 1/2 -3 acres and the views of the Blue Ridge are spectacular.                                                                                      I explained this to the buyers.  We'll see if they want our help.  There are other Ramblers for sale in Loudoun County, see below. ___________________________... 03/07/2014
