Alexandria, VA

What better way to tackle snow removal in Del Ray than with an impromptu "block party" on East Howell Avenue.

The bright sun and crisp clean air brought out the neighbors to lend their collective efforts in clearing sidewalks and driveways. As a secondary road we won't see snow plows for several days so right now it's a do it yourself affair.

But with neighbors like this it's not bad, not bad at all . . .

River Towers a condominium development surrounded by 26 acres of parkland. River Towers is a commuter's dream, near everything, but away from it all.

Relax at one of the many park benches where you can watch the birds sing and the squirrels frolic. Enjoy a lonely walk along the surrounding paths. Jog the Potomac Bike Trail or just sit back and relax at the private club room. Dock at the nearby boat slips or rent a boat from the marina. (Residents have access to boat parking and kayak racks.)

Old Town Alexandria Real Estate Listing Agents Set Records At McEnearney Associates |
Why Use Our Listing Agents Because Results Matter

Whether you're selling Old Town Alexandria VA Real Estate, or real estate outside of Old Town, make sure that a McEnearney Associates, Inc. listing agent is at the top of your list of candidates to interview.

In the second half of 2009, McEnearney Associates sold the properties we marketed in less time and for a higher percentage of the original listed price. (By the way, we started tracking this performance in Northern Virginia in 1999, and we have sold our listings in less time and closer to list price in twenty-one of the last twenty-two semi-annual periods. Since we opened our first office in Washington in 2007, we have added DC, Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties to our evaluation.)

We looked at the results of the ten largest real estate companies in the Metropolitan Washington area as measured by the number of listings settled. These fine companies encompass a wide variety of business models and an equally wide variety of company size. This includes the two largest independent real estate companies in the United States and the local arm of the largest real estate company in the world. And we found what we have always known: size doesn't matter in obtaining the best price in the shortest time.

Market conditions have varied widely in the eleven years we have been tracking these numbers, from balanced markets, to sellers' markets to the current buyers' market. And we have adapted to these changing conditions, outperforming the market regardless of what the market conditions are. My company's carefully assembled team of the most productive Sales Associates in the Washington area makes all the difference for you.

Highest Average Net Sales Price*

Generally speaking, more expensive properties take longer to sell and typically sell at a deeper discount to the original list price. That makes it even more remarkable that our listings sold, on average, more rapidly and closer to the original list price than the listings of these other fine real estate companies.

So, if you're in the market to sell your Alexandria VA home, consider listing your home with McEnearney Associates, because Results Matter. *

This information is based on all resale home listings that went to settlement between July 1 and December 31, 2009 in Washington, DC, Montgomery and Prince George Counties in Maryland, and in Virginia - Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties and the Cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas and Manassas Park. Only those companies with at least 350 settled listings were included. Data derived from the MRIS® Multiple Listing System, and are believed reliable but not guaranteed. Some Re/Max, Jobin, Fairfax Realty, Keller Williams, Century 21, ERA and Coldwell Banker offices are independently owned and operated.
