Does your real estate search have you looking at homes for sale in Del Ray, and know you don't want a condo? Maybe for your lifestyle, a single-family detached homes may be way too big and out of your price range. The townhomes or attached row-houses are ok, but you really don't want an interior unit and you crave that extra yard that comes with an end unit. Well, don't be a middle-man, widen your search criteria to include duplex homes.
There are many pros when it comes to describing the benefits of owning a duplex. For starters, every duplex is an end unit. That means instead of having a back yard that runs parallel to your home like that of an interior unit townhouse or rowhouse, you have yard space around your home from front to back.
Alexandria VA homebuyers love natural light, and with a duplex you'll likely have more windows because of one additional exterior wall.
You won't have to feel sandwiched because with a duplex home, you'll have only one neighbor sharing a common wall.
Is outdoor entertaining at the top of your list? Well, with a duplex home, you'll have the option of creating more outdoor living space for you and your guests.
The home pictured here has a side screened porch. This is usually not an option when it comes to interior unit townhomes because of the limited outdoor space.
We all know that parking can be an issue, and many homeowners appreciate the added convenience and security of parking closer to the front door.
This beautiful duplex home offers in-front parking. Some duplex driveways can fit up to two cars, leaving the street parking to guests.
If you've been excluding duplex styled homes in your Del Ray home search, you could be missing out on extra privacy, a larger back yard, more windows, and in-front parking. Reconsider and expand your criteria, don't have a complex with a duplex.

 Helping JMU Seniors Enter The Real WorldI recently returned to The Burg and went back to my alma mater, James Madison University, to speak on an alumni panel. |
|
Fellow alum Rich Gallagher ('01) and I were able to share our real world experiences and talk to students about writing resumes, what to expect on the job interview, how to network with other area alumni, professionalism during and after hours, housing expenses, and managing finances. |
|
I just couldn't pass a chance to pick up the latest copy of The Breeze on my way to the campus bookstore. I wanted to read the current Pats and Darts! Man I miss those juicy editorials and opinions from the campus newspaper. |
|
What a beautiful campus! I had forgotten how breathtaking fall is in The Burg and on campus. Northern Virginia and Washington DC area alumni can stay in touch by contacting the MetroDukes chapter for volunteer and social events. We will be hosting the annual Job Fair in January, which is open to the public! Area employers who are looking to hire top notch recruits (aka JMU alumni) can post job openings online at the JMU Alumni Professional Network's website. |

We've helped our clients through one of the most stressful times of their lives...buying a home. It's good to celebrate closing by inviting friends and family to come and say CONGRATULATIONS!
Closing celebrations help you create a warm and relaxed atmosphere where you can help your client show off their new home.
If your business is mostly based on referrals, it's a great way to meet your future clients on neutral turf, and get to know them and find out what's important to them.
Closing celebrations (also known as Housewarming Parties) are a lot of fun. If you work with great people...odds are, they'll have great friends!

Alexandria VA real estate buyer agent and listing agent. Helping distressed homeowners with short sales. Specializing in the areas of Old Town, Del Ray, Kingstowne, Manchester Lakes.
After consulting and software/database programming, I decided to pursue my real estate career full-time...and never looked back! While there are days that I sincerely miss programming, it can never take the place of the satisfaction I feel when I help a family find their new home. I have always had a fascination with houses. Before I was licensed, I would often spend my spare time visiting model homes in the area and going to home-buying seminars. My education and previous experience as a consultant is the foundation for my success as a Realtor. My business degree laid the groundwork for real estate. I have extensive knowledge and training in Economics, Accounting, Computer Technology, Marketing, Finance, and Management. Transitioning from corporate/government consulting to real estate consultant was very smooth. I have always been in a ‘people' atmosphere, and my technical skills help me when I work with both buyers and sellers! For over eleven years, I have helped many families in Northern Virginia buy and sell homes. Locally, I have helped renters become first-time homebuyers, and then move-up buyers. And I have helped sellers with their cross-country moves when the time came for them to leave the area. My past clients continuously reward me with referrals of friends, neighbors, family members, and other co-workers. That is the greatest compliment that I can receive. Designations & Affiliations: NVAR Education Advisory Committee Member RE/MAX Platinum Club 2004, 2005 RE/MAX 100% Club 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 Associate Broker Accredited Buyer Representative Graduate, Realtor Institute Certified Residential Specialist Certified New Home Sales Professional e-Pro Licensed in Virginia and Washington DC
For the past twelve years, I've been helping first-time buyers move up from renter to proud homeowner. I've also helped many military families with relocation and take advantage of the military benefits such as the VA loan, with ZERO money down. As a Certified Relocation Specialist, I also help government and corporate transferees make a smooth transition to the area. My clients are also moving up as a result of different life stages, and when they need help selling a current home and buying another, I'm able to offer a high-impact marketing strategy that showcases their home on multiple websites to a wide audience of buyers.
When it comes to listings and homes for sale in Alexandria VA, my areas of expertise includes condos, townhomes, and single-family homes in Old Town (22314), Del Ray (22301 and 22305), Kingstowne (22315), Manchester Lakes (22310), Greater Mount Vernon (22306, 22307, 22308, 22309), and the nearby surrounding areas.
Here's what some of my past clients had to say...
I look forward to her unchallenging commitment.
I look forward to her unchallenging commitment in our quest to purchase another home and am confident that she will be there every step of the way with the kind of professionalism we have come to expect from her.
K. and G. Pollard, Woodbridge
I was made to feel important during the entire process.
" I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and tell you how pleased I was with the great service you provided. Starting with our first contact through closing, I was given expert advice, information, suggestions, and constant support.
You understood exactly what I was looking for in my first home purchase and with this understanding; you worked hard to find a house which met all my needs and desires. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you in the future. Because of the great service and professionalism you exhibited, I will not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and co-workers looking for a truly professional real estate agent."
C. Nunley, Lorton
We would definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in Northern Virginia.
We would like to extend a warm and heart-felt thank you for all of the hard work you did for us. It's amazing when I look back at the timeline, how quickly everything happened. We met for the first time around mid-July, you put my condo up for sale and got a contract around mid-August, then you found us the exact type of house we wanted and we settled mid-September! That's amazing! And thank you so much for the beautiful pictures on CD of our home!
K. and Z. Walker, Alexandria
Thanks for all your help!
It was a pleasure to work with you again. As usual, your professionalism, compassion, and enjoyment in your work, makes your clients feel at ease.
J. Fisher, Woodbridge (Repeat Client)
We can't thank you enough for all that you've done!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and generous house warming gift. You have been an integral part of our homebuying experience from start to finish, and we can't thank you enough for all that you've done!
L. and T. Hynson, Woodbridge
Your professionalism was super!
I always knew what was going on because you supplied complete lists of what to expect. Your estimate of my proceeds was accurate and you handled all problems with a wonderful calm. I will definitely recommend you to everyone.
C. Rodriguez, Dumfries
I look forward to helping you 'Make That Move'!
