Alex Bounan- Realtor w/ Long & Foster Real Estate

This isn’t a red flag. But it is a sign that pricing it right from day 1 is your best bet. Just know that the market’s been shifting fast enough this year that sometimes even a well-priced house can fall behind within a matter of weeks.

Price cuts are turning up everywhere right now, and they read very differently depending on which side of the deal you’re on.

There’s something especially meaningful about receiving a 5-star review from the agent on the other side of the transaction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Real estate is about advocating fiercely for your clients while still communicating well, solving problems, and keeping the transaction moving forward.

Different clients. Different sides of the table. Same goal: a professional, communications, smooth experience for everyone involved.

Grateful for the kind words and always appreciative of the great agents I get to work alongside. 🤝🏡

Long and Foster is widening its footprint in North Carolina, BUT no matter where you want to buy or sell, I’d be happy to pre-screen and connect you with a high performing, service-oriented REALTOR!

Forbes Global Properties announces the brokerage is increasing its presence throughout the state into Charlotte, the Triangle, the Triad and the Outer Banks.

🏡 SOLD! 🔑

This one feels a little different… because it was ours.

Today, I officially sold our condo and closed another chapter. It’s always interesting being on the other side of the transaction—preparing the home, getting it on the market, navigating the process, and finally handing over the keys.

Grateful for the memories made here, excited for the new owners, and even more excited for what’s ahead for our family.

On to the next chapter. 🏡🥂

🏡 JUST SOLD | Multiple Offers + $20,000 Over List Price

Selling a longtime family home is about more than putting a sign in the yard—especially when siblings are navigating the sale together.

My sellers trusted me and my partners to identify the updates that would make a meaningful difference, while avoiding unnecessary improvements that wouldn’t provide a return. With the right preparation, thoughtful presentation, and strategic pricing, the home hit the market ready to stand out.

The result?
✨ Multiple offers
📅 Under contract in just one week
💰 Sold for $20,000 over list price

Sometimes maximizing a home’s value isn’t about doing more—it’s about knowing exactly what’s worth doing.

Congratulations to my sellers on a fantastic result and the next chapter ahead. 🥂🏡

Who doesn’t like the look of a sleek, high-tech kitchen? It sure helps to sell a home on the market. But once someone’s actually cooking, ease of cooking is what counts.

Good looks are one thing, but when it comes to actual cooking, kitchen appearance takes a back seat to being able to do what's needed.

🏡 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Helping a family purchase a home is always meaningful—but helping friends, a military family, relocate across the country comes with an added level of responsibility.

From virtual tours and honest feedback to navigating deadlines from a different time zone, my goal was simple: make sure Sherry & Chris felt informed, confident, and well represented every step of the way.

I’m incredibly grateful for their friendship, trust and for these kind words. Most importantly, I’m thrilled they love their new home here in Maryland! 🔑🏡

Welcome home, Sherry & Chris—and thank you for allowing me to be part of the journey!

And I couldn’t have asked for a better testimonial… I wonder who wrote it…

Capping off a rollercoaster of a week with a reliably enjoyable drink! Absolutely love Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series. Had to scoop up one of the last bottles at The Perfect Pour
