We do business where you do business. 💯 With 7 offices conveniently located, and the staff, and ability to do remote closings all across the DMV, we’ve got you covered.
Have you seen all of our offices? Should be do office tours? 👀📍
Now when you’re scheduling closings, know you have options for where your clients can close. Give us a call to learn more information! ☺️📖
🔐
Send this to someone going to closing soon. 👀🏡
In order for closings to happen, every moving part needs to fall into place at the right time.
Securing a contract and then getting to closing is no small feat. The last thing you want is to show up to closing thinking everything was squared away, only to find out the wire didn’t go through 😱, or the numbers changed at the last minute and the check is now $200 short and you don’t have your checkbook. These tips will help you get through closing successfully and with the best experience possible. 💯🥳🏡 See you at the table!
Just enhancing our brand one closing, one client, one review at a time! 📈
We make it our business to be exceptional partners in the business of real estate agents and exceptional service providers to the clients they refer to us. 🤝 And that’s on building a brand. 💯
Getting feedback like this never gets old. 🤩

🐊 An alligator for an emotional support animal seems a bit “death wish” to me, but raises an interesting question of what constitutes an emotional support animal (ESA)? 🦨🦚🐒
And while these examples seem outlandish, they’re actual court cases and if your neighbor wants to keep a skunk for a pet, wouldn’t you want to know whether or not they have a right to do that, and what your housing rights are as well?🏡
The thing about real estate, is that anything can happen and you never know what you’re gonna get. Enjoy this latest blog on emotional support animals and housing rights, written by Keith Barrett and Laura Tubridy. Find the blog posted on our website linked below. 🥳✨

Here’s your Market Update 🏡📈
Why do stats matter? They help you prepare for the market each year, and know what to expect. It’s impossible to predict what the real estate market will do at any given time, but when you look at stats regularly you start to see the trends and position yourself and your business to thrive in months and years to come. ✅💯
Things are changing. We always strive to be a resource for our agent partners, and when the industry is going through changes our stance stays the same. 📈💯
Keith will be leading a discussion on the NAR settlement and we have five opportunities in five locations for you to attend.

Every month we send out a newsletter with one lead generation idea. One quote. And one question to ponder, for both personal and business growth.

Buying a home in WV? Here some thing you want to keep in mind…keep reading! 👇
Did you know that the tax class category on the tax record is very important to your loan qualification? You are looking for it to mention Class 2.
Some properties that are being sold aren’t owner-occupied, vacant or were rented out. The tax office charges a higher real estate tax on those properties, and it takes about a year for the county to update it after the sale.
When shopping for your home, your agent and/or loan officer can pull the tax record up and check that out in advance, so no-one is surprised during the process when the title report comes back! ✅💰🏠📈
It’s no secret that Keith is an attorney, but did you know we have a fully staffed lawfirm to handle legal services? 👀
This allows us to:
• handle seller side only closings for your sellers that want to do a split settlement
• contract drafting and negotiations
• deep preparation
• and be available for whatever legal questions agents or their clients might have when it comes to their transaction!
We want to come alongside you and be partners in every way; this is just one of the ways we strive to be an exceptional partner.

Want to build a reputable brand? After 13+ years as a business owner, Keith knows a thing or two about building a brand. And while it’s not glamorous, or shiny and definitely not gimmicky… keeping your promises and showing up is some of the best advice to get you results. If it was easy, everyone would do it. It takes hard work. But you wouldn’t get into real estate if you weren’t willing to put in the work right? 📈Stay tuned for more nuggets from Keith’s class on Building a Brand 💯🔥💪
Pre-class performance by Keith! 🤩👏🎹
What is a brand? And how do you build your brand over time?Brand is one of those words that’s easy to throw around, but harder to define. There are countless gimmicks out there, but if you want to really grow and establish your brand, you have to be willing to put in the work. Keith defines what brand is to him, and how he’s been able to grow a reputable brand, by focusing on the details, and over time leaving a positive impact.

‼️Disclaimer 🚨 This is just ONE way in which you could have issues in title that come up after closing. There are multiple ways that you could end up exposed and liable to cover other peoples mistakes. No one wants to pay for someone else’s mistakes, and especially not when that payment has a hefty sum attached to it. 💰💰💰Whether it be legal fees, a lien that didn’t get recorded before the transfer of property, or a mis-recorded deed in the line of title, there are countless ways that a home owner could end up liable. If lenders won’t let a deal close without lender insurance, why should buyers be taking that gamble on owners insurance? 🏡If you’re interested in learning more about title insurance, why a buyer should get it, and what it covers, comment “TITLE” below and we’ll send you a one page document explaining the importance of title insurance. Whether it’s to educate yourself to have those conversations with buyer clients or to have something tangible to share with your buyer clients, this is something you want to have in your library. 💯📖📈
Do you celebrate the wins? Big or small. The burnout is real, and if you don’t take time to reward or congratulate yourself for the little wins just as much as the big ones, it can be a hard industry to thrive in.

So when you’re explaining to potential buyer clients your value, explain what you’re really providing. And it’s not just finding them a home. You are their path to simplicity.😌 Embrace the coming changes, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for clarity if you have questions. 📈 703-288-3333 📲
