With a unanimous vote yesterday evening the Senate passed another value add stimulus to buying a new home. Combined with lowered interest rates and amazing inventory a new law allows for better tax advantages.

The old law allowed for a $7500 tax credit to first time home buyers the year the bought their first residence. The new law should help stimulate a new surge of buyers. ALL home buyers will now get a tax credit equivalent to $10% (up to $15K) on new or existing residences.

See USA todays article here: http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2009-02-04-taxbreak-homebuyers_N.htm for more details.

Lets get out and find you a new home ..Now is the time to buy!

Today I received an email from headquarters that Keller Williams Mclean Virginia is growing and that like many others, I got to be a part of that. If your considering a career (part time or otherwise) in real estate this is a great year to move or get your license, learn the ropes, and practice the craft. It is my humble prediction that in 2010 the surplus of inventory will have maxed out and buyers will start showing up to take advantage of great rates and choices in new homes or investments. Below is the email I received for headquarters today- Keller Williams Mclean is a great place to hang your license!

If you're planning a trip to Northern Virginia and you want to enjoy all that Reston has to offer you must consider staying at the Hyatt at the Reston Town Center. www.reston.hyatt.com

For years my wife and I have enjoyed the many benefits of the Reston Town Center. From the ice skating rink, gone sound studio in the summer (hosting bands like Hootie and the Blowfish) to the many shop and restaurants of today's main stream shoppers. In addition the Hyatt, RTC's flagship hotel, is one of the finest. I have had many guests stay there for my children's christening to Thanksgiving holidays and more. I have even recommended my clients stay there to nothing less than rave reviews the next morning. One of my guests was so thrilled she described it as, " One of the nicest hotels shes ever stayed in!"

If you re planning a trip to our area and you need some additional information please dont hesitate to give me a call, especially as it relates to your future Northern Virginia real estate needs!

Today I received a call from a Virginia licensed real estate agent wondering if I could help their client with the purchase of a condo in the Wooster -Mercer building in Arlington Virginia. While I was flattered to be referred to as clearly "THE ONE AND ONLY ARLINGTON CONISUER", (he had read through this blog and determined we were the ones to call)! I had to explain that I was actually his competition and did he really want to hand his client over to me for the sale. We had a chuckle over the semantics and continued with a few minute discussion over additional information I happened to know about the building.

Short and long is, PLEASE, please, please dont ever hesitate to call to get any additional information you can about the real estate in Northern Virginia. I am licensed because I love the industry and will be here to serve for many years to come. My hope is that buyers, sellers and agents alike all feel comfortable with what my team and I can offer. Call today if we can help you!

Thanks for you continued support!

Located in Arlington Virginia this high tech looking, contemporary condominium building has terrific view of the DC skyline, especially from the rooftop pool and exercise room!

It is just a few blocks from the Courthouse metro and boasts and amazing décor throughout its hallways and lobby. Even the details of your private front door leaves you feeling like it's your entrance into your private secluded sanctuary despite being one of roughly 300 unit. I have toured this building a few times with clients and found each of them awe struck over its floor plans and amenities. Once you gain access through the security doors the front desk security guards ensure safety for all visitors. The Odyssey was built in 2005 and offers unit for sale today. There is excellent dining and easy access to stores and shops by simple walking out your front door.

To schedule a showing or learn more about the properties, please call or write us today.
