The Best Part Of Ashburn = Redskins Park

This is a Northern VA Real Estate Blog. 

Many of you don’t watch football.  Therefore, I apologize for today’s post.  However, we are only a few weeks away from football season and I can hardly contain myself.  I love the skins. 

Therefore this morning I made my way out to the open practice offered every year by the Redskins free of charge in Ashburn, VA.  I wanted to share a few photos with you.

Rule 1# Know Thy Credit Score

$15 could save you A LOT of money…Many people wait until making a large purchase before checking their credit score.  This can be a costly decision when you are ready to purchase since to a lender your name is only as good as your credit score.   If you are planning on purchasing a home any time in the future it is a good idea to know where your score is at.  Your score can always be improved, but some times you will find that there are issues that you didn’t know about that you can fix rather easily. 

I had a client a few years ago that while applying for a loan found that there was a small $12 dentist bill that she thought was paid years before.  The credit report revealed that it wasn’t ever paid.   Because of this discrepancy, it lowered her score by around 50 points!  After addressing the issue she was able to raise her score and therefore get a better interest rate on her loan which saved her hundreds of dollars over the life of her loan! 

Here are a few sites where you can pull your credit score….

  1. FreeTripleCreditScore.com
  2. FreeCreditReport.com 
  3. myfico.com

Make sure that whoever pulls your credit score shows you your scores from all three credit agencies… Experian, Transuniun, and Equifax since it is the average of these 3 scores that count.

Funny MLS Photos: These Come With The Home

There are many benefits to home ownership, and these real estate agents are quick make sure we recognize them in the photos of the homes they list…….

Momma always said, “If you have it… flaunt it.”  This here my friend is a ga-rage.

Parking Is Important

Mr. Agent, make sure that the purchaser knows that if they purchase OUR home… we are gonna let them keep those logs out in the yard.

3 Rental Tips

3 Leasing Tips1.  If you are looking for a home to move in to over a month out stop…. STOP LOOKING. 

-  Some of you love to look but the rental market right now is too hot for you to not be able to make up your mind.  The homes you like today will not be around a month from now unless you get real lucky.  It is best to wait until about a month to 3 weeks out and then hit it hard unless you are an out-of-towner (new word). 

2.  Double up on your security deposit. 

-  If you are trying to find a place and you have terrible credit or you are coming out of a foreclosure you are going to have a hard time getting a homeowner to trust you with their home.  The best way to comfort their hearts is to double up on the security deposit.  It works.

3.  Don’t lie on your application. 

-  I don’t know what happens to some people when they fill out an application but they think if they fill out an application like a job application that they have a better chance of getting a home.  Bad move.  If a homeowner sees that you are lying after pulling your credit, seeing a fake SS number, a judgement you didn’t disclose, or whatever, they are surely not going to trust you with their home.  It is much better to be honest up front. You have nothing to loose and hopefully something to gain.

Ashburn Rentals Are Going Nuts!

Ashburn Homes For Rent

I have never seen the intensity of people looking for rentals like I am seeing right now!

Seriously.  I have a house for rent and I can’t keep up with all of the people wanting to see it.  Last week I rented out 2 houses!  Most agents don’t mess around with rentals because there is barely any money in it.  However, I have a handful of people that I have sold homes to who started out as renters so it is hard for me to pass up a good opportunity.  I guess I am an unconventional Realtor.  Any way…  Check out these stats for Ashburn.

Ashburn 20147 Rentals… (includes neighborhoods like Ashburn Village, Ashburn Farm, Belmont, etc…)

Ashburn 20148… (neighborhoods like Brambleton, Broadlands, Loudoun County Parkway Center)

Lansdowne and Potomac Station / Crossing Housing Stats

It appears that home sales in Sterling and Ashburn are still much stronger than Leesburg.  However, this is not rocket science since it is a little further out.   It’s too bad since many of these homes are incredible and only within a few minutes of Ashburn.
