My blog covers whatever is on my mind. It travels the spectrum from Real Estate in Northern Virginia, local events, market reports, neighborhood data, business profiles and personal stories, and once in a while just some random craziness. I hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to drop a note.

We've all had that client that looked and looked and looked at houses until we began to think they were just lonely and enjoyed our company. A few years ago, I had three in a row. It makes me wonder if there isn't something about me that attracts that kind of buyer. I'm not a naturally patient pe...

I've always heard that when you lose one of your five senses that the other ones become more intense. Recently I was resting my eyes (taking a nap), and I heard a commercial on the radio that has a TV counterpart. When I heard it on the radio I recognized it right away. Only this time, it was dif...

I have been privileged to have had some of the greatest mentors a person could ask for. Each time I've entered a new phase of life, a mentor or two has appeared, and the missing parts of my understanding have been filled. That has been true of every event in my life. The often quoted saying, "Whe...
