If you have never made it to the Herndon Festival, I encourage you to block out some time next weekend and make a date with yourself and some friends. The Festival begins Thursday Night (May 29) and continues though Sunday (June 1). This large community festival, held in Old Town Herndon, offers something for everyone; great food, live music, crafts, rides and even fireworks!
We have found that parking at Herndon High School and taking the shuttle is a breeze...parking can be an issue. You will find that the shuttle buses run regularly and it is an easy and stress-free way to get back and forth. There is another shuttle bus location at Worldgate Shopping Center. More information can be found on the website.
For more information on this year's festival, check out this link:

See you at the Festival!
If you are in or around Reston this weekend, make it a point to drop by the Reston Arts Festival, at the Reston Towncenter. This is an annual event, held in May, and sponsored by GRACE. The weather is great this weekend, so go by and check out some great exhibits by local, and not-so-local, artists.
If you need more information about the location or hours of the festival, you can go to this link:
http://restonarts.org/Festival/FestivalWelcome.htm
Hopefully, you will get a chance to go by. In years past they have had a great variety of displays and art for sale in all different mediums. They also have children's workshops which makes it a great destination for the whole family.

An experienced Associate Broker working in Reston, VA the Northern VA area. I work with with buyers and sellers, specializing in Staging and preparing homes for Sale and helping buyers 'buy green.'
I come from a corporate background; I spent a number of years working in consulting and project management. What does this mean to you? It means that you will receive my undivided attention and that details, large and small, will not fall through the cracks. It means that I value you your business and look forward to having you as a repeat client. My focus is on becoming your permanent REALTOR. You don't regularly change accountants or dentists--you shouldn't have to find a new Realtor for each real estate transaction!
I also believe that continuing education is a critical component of good service. I am an Associate Broker, an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), a Graduate of the Realtors Institute (GRI), an EcoBroker (specializing in buying and selling GREEN homes) an e-pro (technical training to meet the needs of my clients) and an Accredited Staging Professional--Realtor (to assist you in preparing your home to sell quickly and for the most money).
I work throughout Northern Virginia, from Arlington to Leesburg, marketing homes and assisting buyers with their purchases. Let me help you find both a house that suits your needs and a community that you will love. Not only do I live in the area (specifically in North Reston), but I grew up here, too!
If you are looking for a Green home, take advantage of my EcoBroker training to learn how to identify those features that will help you to save money. As a seller, my assistance and advice in helping you to prepare your home for sale is second to none. I am an Accredited Staging Professional Realtor, but I also have keen eye for what is important to buyers. My husband is a builder and works with me to provide contracting resources for my clients to get their homes ready for marketing economically and quickly.
1. "Holly Weatherwax is an outstanding REALTOR®. She was very supportive during the sale of my home and my transition to a new state. She is extremely creative, determined, and responsible in all facets of the home sale process. She even made me feel calm at times which says a lot considering selling a home is one of life's most stressful activities. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Holly to be our REALTOR® again in the future. You get the "best" when you have Holly working for you."
Delight, Middleton, WI
2. "My husband and first met Holly by looking at a single-family home she had listed. We inquired about the home, met with Holly and were very impressed by her. Soon we realized, we not only wanted to buy this home, but also have Holly sell ours! We chose not to bring in another REALTOR® putting Holly in the unique situation where she had to wear multiple hats in representing her existing clients and now us. She handled it flawlessly and in a very professional manner. She made herself available to us at all hours, made checklists with timelines to get everything accomplished for closing and most of all, made us feel at ease. Every detail was taken care of we had complete trust in her from our initial meeting, which carried through to the end of our buying and selling experience. I think this is what makes Holly exceptional."
Catherine D'Reaux,
3. "We were so pleased with the way in which Holly Weatherwax completely handled every detail involved in the sale of our Reston home. The way is which she packaged our home to get it ready for the sale, marketed our home, handled open houses, offers for sale and even the closing was professional thorough, attentive and caring. Holly handled every aspect of this sale so completely that we were never overwhelmed or stressed. She made the sale of our home easier and more enjoyable than we could have imagined."
Stacey and Ray T., McLean, VA
4. "I wish to provide a reference for Holly Weatherwax, whom I retained as our REALTOR®. To begin, a written reference cannot express strongly enough the satisfaction my wife and felt through our house purchasing process. It was a privilege to have Holly represent us with exceptional service and integrity.
I have purchased many different homes in the last 20 years in 4 different states. Having used a different realtor with each home purchase, I have had a chance to see many different styles and approaches. While some of the realtors were good...I never felt a strong commitment to use any REALTOR again, until now. Without a doubt, I would use Holly Weatherwax again to sell and or buy another house in the Northern Virginia area."
Clifford Samodurov, Principal, Innovative Benefits Solutions
5. "Holly was a great resource for me in buying my home in Reston last year. She was patient, prepared and thoughful, carefully considering my situation and family needs before showing me a house, responding to my inquiries or suggesting alternatives. Holly was great to work with, wonderfully experienced and possesive of a great blend of real world practicality and shrewd business sense. Whether she was helping you negotiate a transaction or discussing a homes potential (or, importantly, lack thereof), Holly was there for me as a great resource and I am most grateful."
Don Caron, Reston, Va
