The pics of artwork Iām sharing here were painted by Billās grandmother. The pics of some of the furniture Iām sharing are from the 18th & 19th Centuries. I learned today that at the time of the Civil War, Loudoun County voted 2 to 1 for secession from the Union, but Waterford voted to support the Union. This house is a true example of ābrother against brotherā during the civil war, as the couple who owned it (Ash & Aurena Brown) did NOT agree on their politics (sound familiar???) Two of their sons joined the Confederate Army, while one joined the Union. A local miller, Samuel Means, organized the Loudoun Rangers, the only organized VA unit to fight for the Union. They fought one battle in Waterford in 1862 and lost, which resulted in a decline in Ranger recruitment; the Loudoun Rangers never had more than 120 men in their ranks.
Since the Civil War, there have been many more updates to this home, with the most recent renovation in 2020, the year the current owners gutted & remodeled the kitchen.
Do YOU like old homes? If YES, the @waterford_fair is a great way to see several up close and get architectural & historical lessons from cool š people like me & Will!

I *love* their choice of paint color throughout the home (Alabaster White, Sherwin Williams), as the owner had a lot of different colors and wallpaper in the home previously that would not have translated well to professional pictures.
The property is also *professionally staged* - some furniture and artwork belong to the sellers (example - the SAFE in the library used as an end table belongs to the seller) and much of it belongs to the listing teamās stager and was selected SPECIFICALLY for this home.
I *learned* something NEW from them today - if you notice, the books in the library (which belong to the current owner) are all turned around, so you canāt figure out what they are. Think this is a BRILLIANT idea - it adds texture to the room but leaves the mind wandering - instead of a potential buyer wondering āwhat IS the owner reading????ā and then getting lost down a rabbit š hole, they are instead IMAGINING how THEY would feel in the space with THEIR favorite books - which gets them excited about writing an offer.
The point of working with a great listing broker is tell a compelling story (with pictures) to as MANY potential buyers online as possible - and that is accomplished if the buyer can SEE THEMSELVES living there once they take a step through the front door š

Scooped Ice Cream š¦ w/Dave at our neighborhood pool and hung out until the thunder made the lifeguards get the swimmers out of the water. š¦ (Maybe it was just an airplane though because I donāt recall any rain coming downā¦ ). Hung out at our neighborhood fireworks š„ display that evening, which was SPECTACULAR!
Got periodic texts from kids on travel (son in Iceland š®šø & daughter in San Diego) - which made me SUPER happy!!! ā¤ļøāļø
Officiated at a local swim meet (Exeter Eagles š¦ )š¦
Held a couple OPEN HOUSESā¦
Got a listing UNDER CONTRACT & then met with my favorite photographer to get pro pics & video for a new listing. I brought my dog to the shoot and am hoping his contribution helps with the sale!!! š¾š¾š¾
Holding OPEN HOUSES at each of them!
In Saddlebrook, Iāll be working with local lender Steve Miller on 6/15, from 12-2 pm. This home just went on the market TODAY and was custom built by local builder Paul Reimers in 1997. In Selma Estates, Iāll be hosting an OPEN HOUSE at 41628 Montacute Lane, June 15, from 3-5 pm. The owners of this home are super motivated and just improved their price $100k. In Stafford County, Iāll be holding an OPEN HOUSE at 1032 Joshua Landing Court on Sunday from 2-4 pm - this property is BETTER THAN NEW & is READY for the next owner to move in & love!

This week I helped one of my OLDEST clients celebrate his 86th birthday š at @tuskies - where we frequently meet up for lunch. This time we shared some champagne. š„
I also helped one of my newest clients sell his motherās house. Thanks to @karenekofo and @ekkotitle for doing such a fabulous job handling our side of the settlement, which was a little complicated bc my client was using his power of attorney to help out his mom. This was my first sale ever in @thebelmontcountryclub but hopefully š¤ not my last!!!
Finally, I want to recognize @dave_goodrum_music who is my partner in crime and really helps out all of my clients, no matter what the task. He installs light fixtures, fixes broken window screens and even hauls out large filing cabinets from home offices.

Many thanks to todayās sponsors for providing a terrific lunch, @bbdmoving @fivestarpainting_loudoun & @thehomelenderforyou - who are all terrific companies in their own right, offering buyers and sellers great services (lending, painting & moving) locally.
Best part of today was the training was held within walking distance of my office in downtown Leesburg, so I got to stretch my legs and enjoy a stroll on the W&OD trail to & from the session!

Kevin was the āonly dogā in our household for about 6 years and during this time, he would chase tennis balls, go swimming in the ocean, and even ride the occasional surfboard when we would go to the OBX. As a terrier, he had a big instinct to chase down smaller creatures and would occasionally kill birds, baby bunnies and attempt to even get groundhogs and beavers who would venture in our yard.
In 2018, we got our golden doodle, Charlie, as a 6 week old puppy. š¶ Although Kevin wasnāt exactly nurturing, he grew to love his playmate and they became fast buddies chasing balls and catching waves. We made it a priority to teach Charlie how to swim and both Kevin & Charlie loved the beach.
About a year and a half ago, Kevin had minor surgery for a tumor. His hair was greying and he really started to slow down. We continued to take him to the beach and he would swim, but he could no longer go for regular walks. We attempted to push him in a stroller, but it didnāt take.
We said goodbye to our little terrier this week. We hope he is chasing after Maggie May and swimming at the beach.

According to US VAN LINES, in 2023, the
Top 6 States people moved OUT OF (shaded in RED) include:
š Illinois
šCalifornia
šPennsylvania
šMinnesota
šWashington
šNew Jersey
ā¦. And, the top 6 states people moved to (shaded in Blue) include:
šSouth Carolina
šTennessee
šNorth Carolina
šArizona
šFlorida
šIdaho
Many of the states people move to provide affordable housing, lower taxes and a higher quality of life. šø
(Virginia, by the way, had more people move into the state than move outā¦ and the most popular place people have moved to within the state from Northern Virginia has been Richmond). ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Real Estate is a wild and wonderful business & I love working with great professionals to help my clients with their big moves as they transition to care for loved ones in other locations.
Looking forward to many more adventures in real estate in 2024!!!
