Beginning in January 2010 I implemented Pay It Forward - $150 donation to charity with every closing.

Following the successful closing of 9713 Byward Blvd, Bowie MD I am happy to report that the following donations will be made:

My Choice:

• $50 to the Mental Health Association - The money will be used to purchase cleaning products to donate to the clients in the Adult Homeless Division. These clients are clients who were formerly homeless who are now being assisted to live independently. Cleaning supplies are very expensive and many government assistance programs do not include them on the list of approved purchases. If you are interested in donating some cleaning supplies toward this drive please let me know

The Buyers' Choice:

• $100 to Keep A Child Alive - This fund provides treatment for children infected with HIV around the world. They also provide assistance to children abandoned or orphaned.

This charitable donation is rapidly becoming one of my favorite pats of the real estate transaction. I am excited to be able to make these donations and I look forward to making many more donations in the coming months (and years).

Tomorrow morning at 7am Wegman's will open their first store in Prince George's County at the new Woodmore Town Center right of 202.

The Wegman's store will be the anchor of this newest development that also host Costco, Best Buy (which is already open) and JC Penny coming Feb. 2011. Wegman's is comparable to Whole Foods. It is known as a high end grocery that offers a sushi bar, many delicious prepared or cooked to order meals, & sometimes movie theathers on the second level and much more. There are only 7 in the metro according to the Washington Post. Hope to see you there.

The Neo-traditional floor plan provides a great alternative to either a large single family home or a traditional townhome.

Neo-traditional homes usually offer a smaller lot-size and a rear entry garage. These homes are perfect for people that want the size and floor plans of single family homes but who want to minimize their exterior maintenance responsibilities.

Neo-traditional homes are also called Village homes or Carriage Homes.

These homes have begun to catch on in Prince George's County as they offer the luxury features and space that today's buyers want but at a more affordable price.

Two communities offering this Neo-traditional single family are:
