❤️ HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS ❤️

Congratulations to our wonderful seller on the successful closing of her beautiful Annandale home!

This transaction was quite a journey for her, and we're so grateful for the trust, patience, and confidence she placed in us throughout the process. Real estate can have its twists and turns, but together we stayed the course and made it to the closing table.

Even more special, this charming home is beginning a new chapter with a lovely family who instantly saw all the warmth and character it has to offer.

As a sweet reminder that home is truly where the heart is, this property even features a beautiful heart-shaped shrub welcoming visitors from the front yard. 💚

Thank you for allowing us to be part of this important milestone. Wishing both our seller and the new homeowners happiness, wonderful memories, and many years of joy in their next chapters.

Is the Northern Virginia real estate market still hot?

The honest answer: it depends where you are.

Not all markets are moving the same way right now, and that is exactly why having a local real estate strategy matters.

In areas closer to Washington, D.C. — like Arlington, Falls Church, Alexandria, and parts of Fairfax County — we are still seeing strong buyer demand, multiple offers, and in some cases, homes selling well over asking price.

But as you move farther west into areas like Loudoun County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Warrenton, Haymarket, Gainesville, and beyond, the market can look very different. Some homes are still moving quickly, while others are seeing longer days on market, more negotiation, and occasional price corrections.

Same region. Very different markets.

That is why pricing, preparation, and local knowledge matter more than ever.

Beth and I cover a wide area across Northern Virginia and Virginia, and we are constantly watching the shifts — from showing activity and buyer demand to pricing trends, offer terms, and neighborhood-specific movement.

If you are wondering:

“Is now a good time to sell my home in Northern Virginia?”

“What is my home worth in today’s market?”

“Are buyers still paying over asking?”

“Why are some homes selling quickly while others are sitting?”

We would love to help you get real answers based on your specific area — not just the headlines.

The market is not one-size-fits-all, and your real estate strategy should not be either.

Thinking about buying or selling in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Fauquier, or surrounding areas?

Reach out anytime. We would love to be your trusted Northern Virginia real estate advisors.

Comment “MARKET” and we’ll send you a quick snapshot of what’s happening in your area.

🏡 JUST SOLD IN ANNANDALE! 🏡

Some home sales are especially meaningful, and this was one of them!

This loved family home came to us through a trusted friend who referred a member of their own family to our team. Being entrusted to help the family of someone we know and care about made this sale particularly special.

We are out here living our best Realtor life. 😂

2 active listings, 3 under contract, 2 off-market opportunities... and two vehicles packed to the brim with signs, posts, welcome mats, staging pieces, open house supplies, and probably a partridge in a pear tree.

Today was all about the behind-the-scenes work that helps every listing shine before a buyer even walks through the door.

Her Tesla? Full.

My Jeep? Full.

Our to-do list? Also full.

But honestly, this is one of my favorite parts of the job—making sure every property feels polished, thoughtful, and ready for its moment.

Real estate may look glamorous online, but some days it's signposts, welcome mats, staging runs, and crossing your fingers that the trunk actually closes. 🚗🏡✨

And we wouldn't have it any other way.
