The Next Chapter of Your Life May Include the Word "Dream" In the Title

This morning, I got a little email "love" that made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I sold a home for some neighbors here in Leesburg last spring.  Now they are building their dream home in SC.

I hate getting close to people just as they move out of the area....I miss them so.

But it is thrilling to be able to help launch people into the next chapter of their lives. Even better when the title of that chapter includes the word DREAM!

Congrats John & Claudia - have a fabulous 2011!

As for the rest of you reading this... are you ready to move to the next chapter of your life?  Maybe I can help.  Give me a call!

Because It Is The Thought That Counts!

I just received an email from a client.  I sold an investment home they owned a couple of months ago.  She sent me a lovely card with the kindest words and a gift certificate for dinner out with my family.  I sent an email wishing her and her family happy holidays, thanking her for the gift and card, and asked if she'd like to get together after the first of the year. 

In her response, she mentioned that she was still getting e-cards from her prior property manager..(they parted on less than ideal terms).... "it's nice to know we're still in this thoughts"... she commented sarcastically.  She's not fooled.  She knows that she's in an email list he has that he sends those things to... well, that his assistant sends them to.  He probably doesn't even know he is still sending those things to her.  He may not know he is sending them to anyone.

I look at these automatic email campaigns, and I know that some agents will get your business because they track your email and spam you to death, and I might miss out on your business because I don't.  But, you want to know why I don't?  Because, to me, it is the thought that counts.  Really.  When I send something to you, it is to YOU.  If you're a Facebook Friend my comments are general in nature.  If you have "Liked" my business on Facebook, I send out tips and tidbits there that are for the "likers"... and are general in nature.  But when I am calling you, emailing you, writing you... I am contacting YOU. 

My daughter once described my job to someone.  She said, "My mommy sells houses, helps people and makes new friends."  I love it.  I think all the time about putting that on a business card, but I don't want to cheapen the sentiment.  I do, however, try to approach my business like that EVERY DAY.

So, if you are a "substance over style" kind of person... If you're looking for a REALTOR that truly cares, maybe you should call me..... we might just get along really well.  But if you like mindless emails sent automatically by some server that doesn't have a clue if you are even a real person... well, shoot me an email.  I can provide a list of agents to you that can stick you in their ever precious database.

Painting the Town Red

Hey, there Lo Co Home Sellers! 


It is our plan to hold as many of our listings open on the same day each month as possible, literally painting the town(s) with our red signs.  Imagine the number of showings on your home when that many homes are held open on the same day!

Your home deserves to get the most attention as possible.  This is just one of MANY ways we work to do that.  Call me and find out more.

And friends, January is typically a strong month for real estate sales.  Our first "Paint the Town Red" day is January 9th.  Let's make sure your home is on the tour route that day.  Call me now.

A New Convenience for My Clients and Customers

I am very excited to announce that now my clients and customers will have the ability to approve contracts and other documents via email using DocuSign!  It can even be done on your phone!

No more juggling schedules to try to meet with the REALTOR, no more printing, signing, and faxing or scanning.  That's right!  Just review the information and click a few buttons.  Imagine selling your house without leaving your business meeting or your daughter's recital! 

Finally, a Loudoun County/Dulles Area REALTOR(R) that understands YOUR needs!
