Finally! Finally, we can announce the sale price of our listing at 605 Manor Drive in Vienna. Multiple offers & some good, old-fashioned negotiating drove our contract price up $75,000 over list price and our client settled at $1,175,000. See the full video here if you haven't seen it before.

Work continues at our townhome listing on Allspice Court with the selection of paint colors, flooring, and counters. A crucial step to keeping our projects moving on schedule is to consider what products are available so we hopped on the phone with our flooring contractor (Barry Azimi 703.675.6752) for intel and based our choices around quickly available Luxury Vinyl Planks. Super-talented interior designer, Autumn Riley, met with Jackie and Diane to finalize selections. It looks like they picked one of my favorite paint colors--Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers. Can't wait to see it come together! Onward!

Q: Hi Cathy! My mom has a townhome to sell and it's in need of some work. I know you work in Kings Park West but do you work in areas outside of KPW? ~Anita

A: Hi Anita! Thanks for reaching out! Yes, we LOVE our work in the 'hood but we do sell houses outside of Kings Park West. In fact, in 2021, we sold sixty-four homes, twenty-six of which were in KPW, and thirty-eight of which were not. The map above shows most, but not all, of the houses we sold in 2021. You can see that we do focus on the Robinson area, especially within the 22032 zip code, because we feel our clients benefit from our knowledge of the area...plus, who wouldn't want to work so close to home!?!

Fortunately, our business model travels exceptionally well and has resulted in the same successes in those other NOVA zip codes in which we had the privilege to work this year. The teams' average list price to contact price ratio is 108% (low of 98% for an "as is" teardown sale in Clifton to a high of 120% for a colonial in Herndon). I am so proud of our team! So let's sell your mom's home!

This middle aged lady has had quite the globe trotting adventure before settling down in Virginia where she’s a proud KPW resident! Macy was found abandoned in the village of Yigo in northern Guam in 2017 with a wire puncture through her back paw. We decided to take her in and give her a new home!

 When it came time to move her to Virginia, it couldn’t have come at a worse time for large dogs. United Airlines was the only US based carrier serving Guam at the time and their policy had changed to not shipping dogs that required an extra large crate. Macy ended up with a very long itinerary….flying on an Asia Pacific cargo flight out of Guam to Hawaii, spending the night in the Honolulu Airport, and then taking Hawaiian Airlines direct to JFK. She stayed with our family in New Jersey for a few months before we all reunited. She thinks her forever home in KPW is the best and was worth all the traveling to get there! I agree. ~Mary Afton-Tarr
