Low inventory is still the headline. The days on market are calculated differently now, as number of days from listing to sold, so they look higher than they used to. The “Amazon Affect” caused a jump in contract activity in November, as new pending contracts saw a huge jump after the big announcement. I can…
Jennifer Bush-Lawson 5K & Family Fun Day

Coral Gundlach Homes was the official food trunk sponsor! YUM! The Jennifer Bush-Lawson Foundation carries on the legacy of Jennifer Bush-Lawson, a dedicated mom and…
Neighborhood Spotlight : Crystal City
Crystal City as a neighborhood has not necessarily been a “hot” place to live in Arlington in the time I’ve been a Realtor, since 2004. Many people think of it as all the generic high rises you pass on the way to National Airport and Costco. Those who are “in the know,” love it for its great…
National Landing? Crystal City? What is happening?
The big news that was late last week became official yesterday: Amazon is moving 1/2 of its HQ2 to Arlington. What is now known as Crystal City will morph into National Landing (along with parts of Alexandria too) and will look something like this model the Washingtonian put out yesterday. I definitely have mixed emotions…
Selling Your Home During the Holidays
Conventional wisdom steers us away from selling a home during November to January. The reasons are people are too too busy and the weather is too bad to think about moving. However if you want to sell, and the time works for YOU, there are some advantages. More serious buyers = Less time wasted. The colder…

The Little Condo That Could in South Arlington
In August, my Arlington 1BD/1BA condo listing sold at asking price {$182,000}! This was the little condo that could, but not before bringing it out of its 80s formica, almond color shell. Two years ago, we tried selling this condo without any success. The seller came back to me this year wanting to give it…
0 Days on Market in Westover!
One of my latest listings went under contract a day before it went live in the MLS. We’re all doing a happy dance! However, it doesn’t really take zero days to get this result, even in this “seller’s market”. We started prepping this home for sale back in January, first by having my super handyman come…
Maximizing Exposure Using Conventional and Social Marketing
When a home has a strong marketing strategy, maximized exposure and is staged to highlight its best features, it has a better chance of selling. Williamsburg Blvd was a listing that combined conventional and tech-driven efforts. We realized quickly that this home shined the brightest during open houses. In fact, the ultimate buyers of Williamsburg…
