Equal Housing Opportunity

President Lyndon Johnson lead a vigorous campaign through the halls of Congress that lead to Fair Housing legislation. The Republican Party members in Congress backed Fair Housing, while most of the congressional Democrat Party members opposed Fair Housing. Johnson, a Democrat, worked the phones day and night, calling congressional Democrats, calling in favors that persuaded enough Democrats to cross party lines and vote for Fair Housing, and against their party leaders.

Real Estate News Woodbridge VA The BEST Website You Can Search For Homes For Sale

Woodbridge Home Buyers Like You Can Get Easy Access To All Homes For Sale On Beta MLS Database

Traditional Real Estate Salespersons Have Blocked Consumer Access To MLS By Controling Realtor Board

Young Computer Savvy Agents Convince Old Fogies To Allow Consumers Access To MLS Beta Website

Countless agent websites promise you, "Full access to MLS" but cannot deliver on their promise.

Consumers ASSUME Realtor.com has ALL homes listed for sale. WRONG!!

Realtor.com is advertising-based.

Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR) has refused to allow full consumer access to our MLS.

Why?

Here comes the truthful answer that shall likely dump lots of hate-mail in my email inbox from traditional, old school real estate sales people...

Traditional old-timers who have time to serve as officers of NVAR typically don't like computers, the internet, fax machines... they FEAR empowering YOU, the consumer with full access to MLS.

The old-timers don't "get it".

When I say old-timers, I mean folks whose definition of high-tech real estate tools are typewriters, carbon papaer, snail mail, and one-page contracts.

Their knee-jerk reaction to new ideas is "No!!".

They suffer from FUD...
Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt

Especially when tons of positive data from cities across the fruited plains that have given full consumer access to MLS proves that Realtors and consumers both benefit when all have full access.

(Okay Erick, get to the point!)

Our dear colleague, Frank Llosa (Handsome guy in photo below), convinced the old-timers to test the concept of full consumer access to MLS with a Beta (Test) website called FranklyMLS.

FranklyMLS gives you more than just homes for sale.

FranklyMLS tells you which listings are short-sales, foreclosures, bank sales, and normal sales.

FranklyMLS also shows you listings of homes that recently SOLD so you can see the list price, plus the actual SOLD price.

Go to FranklyMLS RIGHT HOW and find out how easy your home search can be.

While in Manassas last week a member of Rolling Thunder was passing out flyers regarding a toy drive the mortocycle vets conduct to collect toys for local military families. As you can see, this is the program's third year. My husband and I intend to participate and we urge as many people as possible to do the same.

There is a very large contingent of military families in the area who are struggling with deployments to two wars in addition to the high cost of living in Northern Virginia. It is our privilege to provide as much assistance as possible.

COMMUTING

• Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
• Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
• Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge - the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - win win!!
