In 2007 I helped 2 bachelors purchase a 2-bedroom condo in Americana Finnmark in Silver Spring, MD. 16 years, weddings, beautiful babies, and a few years as landlords later, they were ready to let it go. A fresh coat of paint and new carpet were needed, and, of course, staging. I'll have to post before and after pictures of the latter to prove once again, what a difference the right staging makes! We hit the market in June and received multiple offers so quickly that I didn't even get the chance to blog about it. This lovely condo with a mid-century modern touch just SOLD to a cash buyer with no contingencies and for 8K above list price. Another Happy Closing Day is in the books! Americana Finnmark is a condominium that offers many amenities: an outdoor pool, BBQ areas, tot lot, dog par...

Don't ask a REALTOR® how experienced they are, but how many times they've renewed their license. That's advice I stumbled upon during my morning news hour - and, I like it! It's a good point. When the market is hopping, it tends to be easier for (newer) agents to find/be assigned business. The definition of success in Real Estate, however, is not necessarily how many transactions someone closed this year, or last, but the ability to weather different market conditions, to survive and thrive for many years. Ask an agent how many times they've renewed their license, and you'll better understand their level of experience. In Maryland, we are required to satisfy 15 hours of continuing education per renewal period (that number should be much higher but that's a different topic) which is ever...

I have one of the prettiest drives to the office. Along the winding road of Oak Hill is a collection of custom homes on sprawling homesites: from historic farmhouse to timeless center-hall colonials, from not-your-average rambler to 1940s bungalows, from brick Cape Cod to expansive Manor homes, from Victorian influence to American foursquare. As diverse as the architecture are the values on Oak Hill, ranging from 400K to 2 Million. Oak Hill Road is off Rt. 198 in the Silver Spring, Spencerville, and Burtonsville triangle. Since our office - we share a building with Oak Hill construction which specializes in site development and custom home construction - is a good ways down the road, I get to enjoy the view of vintage houses and gorgeous estates every time I go in. Oak Hill Road was des...
