Northern Virginia had another absolutely wild week.

The Eataly rumor at Tysons Corner just got a lot more real after new permit activity surfaced at the old American Girl location. If this happens, it could completely transform that side of the mall and add one of the most anticipated food destinations in the DMV.

Meanwhile, Sonic is scouting Washington, D.C. for a brand-new concept with no drive-thru and no drive-in. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about that one.

In Prince William County, Manassas-based Electra unveiled futuristic aircraft concepts developed with NASA, American Airlines, and Lockheed Martin. The company says the design could be 17% more efficient than today’s commercial airliners and already has a reported $10 billion backlog.

The Historic Route 11 Drive-In Theatre in Stephens City is celebrating its 70th anniversary this weekend, proving that some things never go out of style.

Arlington’s A Modo Mio was named one of the Top 50 pizzerias in America and is the only restaurant from Virginia or D.C. to make the list.

And finally…

A house across from the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., known locally as the “Spy House,” just sold for $3.45 million after a major renovation. The property reportedly played a role in U.S. surveillance operations for decades and even includes hidden design features inspired by its history.

If you had to pick one story that surprised you the most, what would it be?

Northern Virginia real estate is still strong… but it’s not forgiving anymore. 🏡

The biggest danger right now isn’t the market — it’s what people *aren’t* telling you.

In this video, I’m breaking down the harsh truths buyers and sellers need to know right now:

✅ Overpricing can cost sellers big
✅ More inventory doesn’t mean buyers have it easy
✅ Your net proceeds may be lower than you think
✅ Buyer agreements actually matter now
✅ Location, schools, commute, HOA, and resale value can make or break the deal

The market has split in half.

The right homes are still selling fast. The wrong-priced or poorly positioned homes are sitting. 📉

If you’re buying or selling in Northern Virginia, you need real advice — not fluff.

Watch the video and let me know what you think. 👇

The new space is expected to feature:
🍿 Private screenings and premieres
🎭 Theater space
🤝 Reception and event areas
💻 Traditional office and coworking space

As part of the agreement, Netflix will also host community screenings for local groups and contribute $25,000 to Women in Film & Video D.C.

The location sits just a few blocks from Capital One Arena and adds another major name to the ongoing transformation of downtown Washington.

Would you like to see Netflix open some of these screenings to the public? 👇

I’ve been getting a lot of messages from people asking about Wi******er, Virginia lately…

And honestly, I get it.

The same money that gets you a townhouse in Ashburn can sometimes get you a detached single-family home with a yard in Wi******er. 🏡

That is why so many buyers are starting to look farther west.

But here’s the thing — and this is what I try to do differently in my videos…

I’m not just going to tell you the pretty stuff.

Yes, Wi******er can give you more house, more land, a slower pace, Old Town charm, mountain views, Skyline Drive, and a lot more breathing room in your monthly budget.

But there are real trade-offs too.

The commute is real.
The car dependency is real.
The distance from DC and Northern Virginia is real.
And if you’re used to Ashburn, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, or Loudoun County convenience, Wi******er is a very different lifestyle.

I’ve helped a lot of people move all over Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, and the people who love Wi******er are usually the ones who understand exactly what they’re getting into before they buy.

That’s why I made this video.

I’m breaking down the honest pros and cons of living in Wi******er in 2026 — who it’s perfect for, who should probably avoid it, and what most buyers don’t think about until after they move.

If you’re thinking about Wi******er, Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William, or anywhere in Northern Virginia, my team and I would love to help you figure out what actually makes sense for your lifestyle.

Watch the full video and let me know…

Would you trade the Ashburn townhouse for the Wi******er single-family home with a yard? 👀

🚨 6 things happening in Northern Virginia right now:

💻 Micron is expanding in Manassas and bringing more high-tech manufacturing jobs to Prince William County.

💰 Virginia just ranked #1 in the nation for income, thanks in large part to Northern Virginia’s economy.

🚗 Waymo is officially mapping parts of Alexandria and Arlington, putting driverless technology one step closer to NoVA.

🚲 Haymarket residents packed a public hearing over proposed e-bike and scooter regulations, including speed limits and fines.

🛍️ Tysons Corner continues its transformation with new stores, restaurants, and experience-based attractions on the way.

🥇 And in one of the wildest local stories of the week, a former CIA official from Ashburn was arrested after authorities reportedly uncovered hundreds of gold bars, luxury watches, and millions in cash.

Northern Virginia never seems to have a slow news week.

Lowest weight I’ve been at in 17 years.

Almost out of the size 40 jeans club.

One thing I’ve learned along the way: it’s a lifestyle, not a goal.

I don’t count the days since I’ve had a drink anymore. I just don’t drink alcohol.

This month our team is on pace for 39 closings, and it’s a reminder that taking care of myself isn’t optional. To show up for my family, my team, and the people who depend on me, I have to be at my best physically and mentally.

Still a long way to go, but grateful for the progress

🐍 Copperhead season is arriving early in Northern Virginia.

According to 7News, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge has already treated four copperhead bite victims this year, with doctors saying warmer temperatures may be causing venomous snake activity to start earlier than usual.

If you encounter a snake:
✔️ Keep your distance
✔️ Take a photo from a safe location
✔️ Never try to catch or kill it

And if bitten:
❌ No tourniquets
❌ No cutting the wound
❌ No sucking out venom
❌ No ice

Medical professionals say the best treatment is getting emergency care as quickly as possible.

Have you ever seen a copperhead in Northern Virginia?
