There is way more to success in selling a home than just saving on commission. Here are the top 8 benefits of using a realtor to sell your home.
The little tenant vs the big builder
I recently had a client contact me with some urgency. I had helped her rent a home a couple of years ago. Her landlord told her they were selling her home and had offers from builders coming. She was given just 3 days to submit a bid. My client needed help, and the landlord wasn’t…
The power of momentum
In a market like we have in 2019 in Arlington, and basically all of Northern Virginia, you see many houses sell immediately for over asking price with no contingencies and multiple offers. And some you see, just sit. What’s the deal? What’s the difference? Why do some houses get all the love and attention? And…
Are you a buyer? Listen up.
Are you a serious buyer in Northern Virginia? If you want to buy a house, condo or townhouse under 1 million in Northern Virginia, the following things need to happen first: Have an intrepid full time Realtor ready to hit the ground running.

Client Movie Day 2019
Can’t stop smiling! So grateful for an incredible 100 person turn out to my client appreciation movie night! I have the best people in my life and business. Thank you all for coming. I love to reunite with them and spoil them for all the support they’ve given me, as often as possible. One perk…
Community Spotlight : Chill Zone Cafe
There’s an alternative to the Lee-Harrison Starbucks. I’m looking at you, north Arlingtonians, there’s other coffee out there. Chill Zone is located on Harrison Street right nest door to Safeway in the former Mother’s Macaroons (RIP) space. It’s fairly unassuming from the outside, but walk in and you immediately want to take a seat with your caramel cinnamon…
Compass Concierge NEW in 2019!
Happy New Year! I’m ready to hit the ground running in 2019. I joined Compass a year ago for numerous reasons, but mainly for their continued commitment to innovation and purpose in the real estate industry. Our mission to help everyone find their place in the world is at the heart of what I do. I’m incredibly…
Coral’s Nov 2018 Local Market Recap
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
I was honored to get a little team together for the 4th annual Jennifer Bush-Lawson 5K & Family Fun Day! It was a chilly, but great morning with some fun friends! 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…
