Now, if you're reading this because you're expecting some tips on where to take the kids for a little Halloween thrill this weekend, I have to disappoint you.  Rather, I'm talking about the real thing.  Opening the Zillow "PRO" newsletter today, I got pointed to an apparent new service they offer...

This is the day I made half the agents in my office happy because I showed them that they can use Zipforms, the flash-based contract-generating service we use--on their iPads after all.  (iPad acquisition has been highly contageous at our firm; all generations of agents have been equally affected...

I felt awfully tired and beat up when I walked into the office this morning, but it was worth it. I’d been to a late-night screening of Waiting for Superman, a chilling feature-length documentary on the state of the American public school system. How we got to where we are now, where we’re headed...

Earlier this month, we examined the 3rd Quarter market statistics for the upper DC neighborhood of Colonial Village. Today, we will take a look at Shepherd Park. The two neighborhoods, divided only by 16th St, are often seen as a unit, as they share many characteristics as well as a very active ...

A total of four houses closed in the Rock Creek Forest Neighborhood in the month of August. While August traditionally is one of the slower months in the DC area real estate, this number is a bit of an improvement over August 2009, when only three homes closed. Even more favorable is a comparison...

The McLean Gardens community is unique in DC.  Built during World War II for employees of the Department of Defense, the flats and duplexes were converted to condos in the early 1980s.  Situated on 35 acres of green land with mature trees and bordering public parkland, the development is situated...

Mind you, this is the master bathroom of an old, architecturally amazing "upper brackets" home in Washington DC's most expensive and exclusive neighborhood. If you want to make it in this world, you must never lose your focus. Not even here. Instead of pouring money down the drain you’d better si...

My jaw dropped when I started reading. This was not what I had in mind when I was looking for some cool old stories or trivia around the house. I had just come back from a listing appointment with smart and pleasant sellers. The “subject” was an old house, and--as always—it tickled my curiosity. ...
