It doesn’t matter what price range you are searching if you are looking for a foreclosure in Fairfax County you can find it. There are properties on the high end of the market and there are properties on the low end of the market.
If you are looking for a high end home and money is no object then perhaps one of the properties listed for over a million dollars might be your ticket.
Better yet if you are an investor looking for a property to use as rental property then perhaps you want to look on the lower end of the dollar scale.
However no matter what price range you are looking for the requirements for purchasing a foreclosure property are going to be the same. The third party mortgage holders expect a buyer to submit a letter from a reputable lender stating they are qualified to buy the home. Some properties, for example those listed by Countrywide Mortgage or Wells Fargo require that you are qualified according to their specific guidelines and by one of there mortgage consultants.
This is a critical step in submitting an offer for a property in foreclosure and one that you should undertake before you even begin to look at properties. Just as with buying any property knowing how much you can afford not only to buy but how that purchase may impact your lifestyle are important. When you are looking at foreclosure properties you also need to consider your finances for repairs. You may find a new property in pristine condition or you may find a property that will require considerable “sweat equity” to bring it up to livable condition.
So as you weigh your options and research whether a foreclosure property may be right for you, make sure you have talked to a lender so you understand and are comfortable with your financial situation. If you need assistance in connecting with a lender let me know and I will be glad to pass on some names for you to contact.
Before you make the decision to buy a foreclosure property make sure you work with an agent who has experience in handling foreclosures evaluations for third parties and understands the process of making an offer and negotiating with a third party.
If you are interested in receiving information on any of these Fairfax County foreclosure properties or in other areas give me a call. I’ve successfully negotiated with third parties to help my clients buy a foreclosure and REO properties.

With the press and television continually talking about Fairfax County foreclosure and REO properties buyers keep asking me where to find the best deal. Yes, there are some houses that are worth taking a closer look at and others that are easy to pass by. However deciding to buy a Fairfax County foreclosure is not as easy as 1-2-3. In fact buying a foreclosure property takes time and patience. It may mean waiting weeks for answers from the various third parties involved in the transaction and it generally means you are buying a home in “as is” condition.
“As-is” means “as-is” and some don’t understand the implication of what that means. As buyer you can inspect the property, many do not have utilities turned on so the inspection can’t look at some of the major systems, but even if you do find a problem the third party owner of the property is not going to make repairs. In addition the usually standard of “broom clean” does not apply either. So if you find a home you like and it still has some of the previous owners belongs in it you will be responsible for cleaning them out.
Now all of this isn’t meant to scare a buyer away from a foreclosure or an REO property, I’ve had buyers who have found a good home at the right price but to let you know right up front that if you decide it is the right property for you then you need to be prepared for the process.
Currently in Fairfax County there are 385 properties listed as REO or foreclosure properties in the MLS. They break down to 153 detached homes, 162 townhouses and 70 condos. There are also another 104 properties identified as “short sales” which means that the owners currently owe more than the mortgage than the home is valued but the mortgage company has not taken the title to the property,
The following is an example list of Fairfax County townhouses identified in the MLS in the areas of Burke, Lorton and Springfield as foreclosure properties.

Deciding whether to buy a foreclosure property in Fairfax County is not as easy as walking in to the house and saying “I’ll take it.” Foreclosure/REO properties require more time and negotiation with a third party than buying a resale home. When you are buying a foreclosure property you are buying the property “as is” with inspections only for information purposes.
The question of whether a foreclosure property is a good deal will vary and doing the research to compare the properties is a key piece of making an offer. In one neighborhood you can find new homes that were purchased by real estate speculators that have never been lived in and properties that have been left in deplorable condition by the previous owners.
Currently in Fairfax County there are 385 properties listed as REO or foreclosure properties in the MLS. They break down to 153 detached homes, 162 townhouses and 70 condos. There are also another 104 properties identified as “short sales” which means that the owners currently owe more than the mortgage than the home is valued but the mortgage company has not taken the title to the property,

As with so many military bases in Northern Virginia the need to improve older base housing often means tearing down outdated housing to make way for homes that meet the needs of today’s families. At Quantico that meant getting rid of the largest collection of pre-fab Lustron homes found in the US.
Unlike a stainless steel refrigerator, owners and residents of Lustron homes could hang their children’s art work with magnets. In fact you could use magnets all over the house because the homes were entirely pre-fabricated out of porcelain enameled steel. The other unique feature of these homes was their exterior colors. Unlike typical military housing which is fairly bland (loads of brick) Lustron homes came in maize yellow, dove gray, surf blue, desert tan, flamingo pink, sea blue–green.
Over the years families who lived in the Lustron homes either loved them or hated them. They were originally thought to be the answer to the post war housing booming by creating pre-fab houses that could easily be built on a poured slab foundation. Built-ins were a big component of the houses with built-ins found in the living room, dining room and bedrooms. All of the houses had sliding pocket doors to save the room that swinging doors needs. Since the houses could be assembled in just a few months the military with a need to beef up base housing as quickly as possible after WWII purchased 58 of the Lustron homes at Quantico MCB.
In the early 1990's while running education programs for the military I spent one day a week on Quantico. A couple of the Marines I worked with invited me over to take a look at their unusual Lustron homes. They were small but as a fan of mid-century modern and unique homes they were an interesting example of how an idea to use left over materials from WWII might have changed our entire housing industry. Unfortunately the idea failed and instead of 25,000 Lustron homes rolling off the assembly line the plant only turned out 1500 before it closed down.
Fortunately when the decision was made to build new housing at Quantico the developer realized that the Lustron homes should not just be razed to make way for the new houses. In mid-2006 applications were taken from interested parties who might want to dismantle one or more of the homes and relocate them to another site. A few of the homes were dismantled to be used for Katrina housing and at least two of the homes will remain on Quantico as part of the National Historic Register.
So with the change in housing needs of the military a little piece of history leaves Quantico but at least many of the homes will find new lives to house another generation of young families.

If you have ever watched the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery, seen the silent precision rifle team or listened to the Marine Corp Band playing Hail to the Chief then you have seen some of the Marines stationed at the Barracks. Every Friday evening at sunset during the summer in DC the Marines from the Barracks put on a parade with all of the pomp and circumstance that you would expect and more. Thousands of people sit on the lawn in absolute silence watching and listening and it would be hard to find a dry eye in the crowd by the end of the evening.
The Home of the Commandant’s located on base has been home to all but two of the Marine Corp Commandants since it was built in 1806. The house was not destroyed by the British when they attached DC in 1814 and it is thought to be the longest continuously occupied building in DC. The home has grown from a small four room home to a 15,000 square foot Federalist style home with over thirty rooms.
The Marine Barracks DC is listed as a National Historic Landmark and though it is not open to the public tours area available at 10 am on Wednesdays or you can make private arrangements through the Public Affairs Office at (202) 433-4173. If you are making a trip to DC in the near future make sure you put this little know part of Marine Corps history on your itinerary.
If you are a Marine with PCS orders to the Marine Corps Barracks, Military District of Washington, Pentagon or Quantico give me a call. I’ve lived through the best and worst military moves and know how to help your family learn about the area and find a neighborhood that you will want to call home while stationed in the area.

What is the single most basic element of my job? Helping people. More specifically, I help people realize their home ownership dreams. I love what I do. I have the privilege and fun of helping people find a home that’s just right–one in which they can live, love and laugh. I also consider it an exhilarating challenge to help people sell a home-getting the property ready, highlighting its features and bringing the right buyers to see it. Education is a major part of keeping abreast of the real estate industry and local market. I have earned my Virginia Brokers license (180 hours of real estate education plus national and state exams) and I am Certified Residential Specialist , something only 4% of Realtors® nationwide have the production and education requirements to do. I never stop at just getting the required hours needed for license renewal I exceed them so that I can stay abreast of what is happening in the industry.
Prior to becoming a full-time Realtor® I worked in both the higher education and educational technology fields helping to build new programs and integrate technology on universities campuses world-wide. With an MBA and professional coursework in Conflict Negotiation and Resolution I know what it takes to write winning contracts, work through the details and end up with a win/win situation for both buyers and sellers.
I believe this background, combined with my real estate experience gives me an edge to help me get the best deal for my clients. You will never hear me say I am #1 because if I don’t get the job done for YOU, the most important person in the real estate transaction, then it doesn’t matter what else I might have accomplished.
Testimonals Cindy thanks again for helping us find a place to rent while I am stationed at the Pentagon. A number of other agents blew me off but you took the time to listen to what my family needed and found us just the right neighborhood to call home during my tour here. You can be assured I'll tell everyone else in my command about how you went the extra mile to help a military family. Col Jim Sheradan USA
"I attended the Home Buyer's Seminar, and as a prospective first time buyer, I thought the seminar was extremely informative, personable, and comprehensive. We were able to get thoroough information from everything on what to look for in obtaining a mortgage, red flags in home inspections, as well as the contract signing process. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone who is a first time buyer, or someone who would like the latest information out there."
