Boundaries: University Boulevard, Colesville Road (rt 29), Beltway 495 and Northwest Branch ParkWoodmoor and Indian Spring Village are the largest of the Legal Subdivisions in the Neighborhood known as Woodmoor.  Through his Woodmoor Development Company George J. Moss was the Developer of Woodmoor.   George Moss was said to have personally checked out the lay of the land, trees and placement of the homes in Woodmoor, unlike many developers that do this on paper.  George Moss was a pioneer of this first large "planned community" in Silver Spring, MD.  He took a lot of risk in developing Woodmoor because at the time it was land that was "out" in a sleepy rural farming area of Four Corners which was far from transportation and shopping in the 1930's.  The Woodmoor community is an establish...

  Dear Silver Spring Homeowner, Just because you can, DOESN'T mean you should. Sincerely, Stanley BarschP.S.  Here is why: It's a decision you have to make --- to work with a REALTOR® or not It's a choice you have to live with --- to deal with one professional, or many many many buyers It's a lifestyle --- you will have to show your home EVERY SINGLE TIME, and see EVERY SINGLE PERSON It's availability --- you have to answer the calls, and explain the story to every caller...serious or not It's a business --- you need to trust your abilities to do the job THIS ONE TIME, that we've done hundreds more It's wild --- you will have more respect for what I do as a REALTOR® once you endured the pain It's a risk ---- hopefully you have of ALL the disclosures you have to make, whether or not you'...

  Are you frustrated because your Silver Spring, Maryland home hasn't sold? Did you withdrawal it from the market, did it expire, did it JUST NOT SELL? STOP!!!!!!  Don't pull your hair out, I know why it didn't sell.......let me show you....... Before we get started, turn that frown upside down! There are three things that ultimately affect the sale of your home: 3)     Condition of property - You have 100% full control of this, YOU decide if it's important to get YOUR home up to par for today's market.  YOU decide how good that home is going to look.  YOU decide if you're going to put things in storage for a couple months.  YOU decide if you want YOUR home to look better then any other home on the market. 2)     Marketing -You have 0% full control of this.  Hopefully your trusted agent...

  These are the Barsch Team's TOP 10 reasons your home won't sell....unless you check yourself! This applies to Silver Spring Real Estate, DC Real Estate, VA Real Estate, and everywhere else! 10)     Clutter -  Do you realize when you put a sign on your property, you are now marketing a product for sale?  From unbiased REALTORS®and no pun intended, put that junk in the trunk!  Buyers don't want to walk over mountains of junk, maneuver around furniture, or look at your collectibles.  The buyers are there to BUY your home, not the contents.  Put it away! 9)     Condition - This should be higher up on the list, probably one of the worst complaints buyers have about properties they view.  The condition of the property is not what you deem to be appropriate, but what the buyers will.  Spendi...

  QUESTION FROM A BUYER IN CLEVELAND PARK Question:  "Do you work exclusively in Silver Spring, or do you sell homes in other parts of the area?  My husband and I are looking to purchase in the next couple of months in the Cleveland Park area......" Answer:  Silver Spring is our niche area, however we do focus throughout different areas of DC, Maryland and Virginia.  Stanley is one of the fewest folks in the area that can really say he was "born and raised in DC."  This is a unique situation, because Stanley has lived and/or owned properties in different areas of the city such as Georgetown, Tenleytown, Adams Morgan, and outside the city in Silver Spring.  Here you have a REALTOR® that knows the ins and outs of these various areas, and is a wealth of knowledge to those who have a specia...
