Happy Thanksgiving



Happy Thanksgiving! I want to wish you and your loved ones a great and safe holiday.

As we enter the season of giving, you may be asking yourself: how can I give? I found a Gallup poll that measured the degree of one’s charity. How? They measured charitable acts.
  1. Donate money to an organization
  2. Donate time to an organization.
  3. Help a stranger or someone in need.
If you want to give back, think about one of these three ways. Thanks for watching and Happy Thanksgiving!

How to Choose the Best Listing Agent



Welcome back to my video blog. Today I wanted to continue with our series about finding the right listing agent. When you are looking for an agent, it’s important to work with someone who knows the market.

A good listing agent knows the condition of the market; they know statistics. When we look at listing your home, there are three important statistics to consider.

1.    The number of active listings. This is your competition.

2.    The number of homes sold in the past month. With this information we are able to figure out the absorption rate, meaning at what rate homes are selling.

3.    The number of new listings in the past month. This helps us determine if we are in a sellers or buyers market.

Another important part of knowing the market is determining which price ranges are selling and which are sitting.

These are just a few questions you should ask your next listing agent. If you would like a form with all the questions listed, give me a call at 703.915.1377 and I can send it to you.
Thanks for watching!
