By Cindy Jones on January 11th, 2012
It’s winter, it’s cold and the thought of putting your home on the market when it gets dark before 5 PM seems daunting.  It’s a conversation that is repeated many times during the winter months with prospective home sellers in Woodbridge VA.  Let’s just wait until the spring when there are more buyers looking for ... [Continue Reading]

By Cindy Jones on October 25th, 2011

How much is that Realtor® in the Mirror?

By Cindy Jones on September 22nd, 2011
Kudos for this post goes to a fellow Realtor® in Scottsdale Arizona, Paul Slaybaugh.  He beat me to the punch on his tongue and cheek post “Realtors Stop Photographing Themselves in Bathroom Mirrors”.   A few months ago I had written a post “MLS Photos-What’s Up With the Toilet Photos” about agents who seem to ... [Continue Reading]

This post isn’t about bashing any brokerage it’s about how the world of real estate continues to evolve. Many of the big brand brokerages work hard through TV advertising, the Internet and print to convince consumers brand recognition will bring more buyers to your home.
