Incorporated some summer clips from 2024 to show how awesome 😎 this neighborhood is! Hosting a few OPEN HOUSES this weekend in Raspberry Falls at one of my favorite listings! It’s not just a home, it’s a community! Looking forward to the weather warming up so I can play more golf ⛳️ here, too! #huntcountrysir #sothebysinternationalrealty #loudouncountyrealestate #virginiarealestate #golflife
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ 2 days early (but really… procrastinating filing my taxes… heard no one is at the IRS anymore 😆). Supporting my husband’s music gig in Western Loudoun at one of the prettiest Breweries in the county, Harvest Gap. The Brewery owners here are super chill and welcome customers with four paws 🐾 to come inside & listen to live music 🎶 Not pictured is any of the food we ate! Dave was worried about his voice because he had stayed up playing poker with friends last night. ♥️ ♠️♣️♦️Pam said she thought he sounded better after 3 cigars!!!! 😆Charlie got a few new friends 🐾🐾🐾 and I got an IPA! 🍺
Introducing an amazing & elegant home built by Marquis Custom Homes, the luxury division of Van Metre, 41741 Raspberry Drive. This property resides in the heart of the Raspberry Falls neighborhood, a community in Loudoun County, just north of the incorporated town of Leesburg. With over 8500 sqft of finished space, a 3-car garage, and a finished basement, this beautiful home has ample room for owners & guests alike to relax, entertain & recharge. Mature trees and thoughtful landscaping adorn this picture perfect colonial. The fenced in backyard includes a well built and maintained deck, leading to a picturesque stone walkway, offering visitors a relaxing place to sit around an outdoor fire pit. Inside, the home’s finishes are elegant - crown molding, luxury hardwoods, and gleaming tile welcome you. The gourmet kitchen includes top shelf Viking appliances, two sinks, and abundant counter space ~ perfect for the most ambitious home chef! The current owners have made sure to keep this amazing property in top shape during their tenure. As an owner in this community, I have a great deal of pride representing my clients here and frequently hit balls on the driving range of the golf course, Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club. Buyer Appointments are welcome beginning Friday, March 21, 2025, and open houses are scheduled for Saturday & Sunday, March 22-23, from 2-4 pm. #hcsir #sothebysinternationalrealty #luxuryhomes #leesburgva #loudouncountyva #golflife
Getting a “perfect” video is not easy! I wrote a script and collaborated with my digital media guru to showcase a few of my favorite small business owners who help my clients with their real estate transactions. I have a new appreciation for professional actors. It is REALLY HARD to memorize three lines of script, let alone speak without saying “um” or “like” or “you know”. And, my collaborators in crime also had their own challenges. Karen, for example, is virtually BLIND when she takes off her glasses. Carla wanted a very large box to stand on because we are not the same height. Buddy told me afterward that he should have taken his sunglasses off because we were inside 😎🤪 Love ❤️ that they had fun with me & just rolled through the bloopers and ended up with some good content… on my YOUTUBE channel, but not here 😜#sothebysinternationalrealty #luxuryhomes #leesburgva #virginiarealestate #bloopers😂
Carla is in my business networking group (BNI) which meets weekly for breakfast on Wednesdays in Ashburn. She’s one of the owners of BB&D. Originally from Chile, she is bilingual (English & Spanish), is super smart, and loves French Bulldogs. She hates public speaking and was a total trouper to do this video with me! She loves to help people transition to the next chapter of their lives and is one of the NICEST people I know! BB&D moves clients across town, across the US & around the world! #loudouncountyrealestate #huntcountrysir #virginiarealestate #sothebysinternationalrealty #luxuryhomes #downsizing
One of the reasons I like working for my brokerage is the truly collaborative culture the owner, @janeenmarconi has created. She’s an amazing business woman who got her real estate license right out of high school and has represented some of the largest farm & land deals I’ve seen in Loudoun County. I inspired @reed.realtor to get his Virginia’s real estate license last year and he has been so fun to work with! We look forward to hosting an open house 🏠 in a few weeks of my favorite neighborhood, Raspberry Falls! ⛳️#huntcountrysir #sothebysinternationalrealty #loudouncountyrealestate #luxuryhomes
Introducing my favorite title attorney, @karenekofo with @ekkotitle 🤓 I met her many years ago at the Dulles Area Association of Realtors. She was a music major in college and then went to law school. Her professionalism and can do attitude are simply terrific. She also goes to clients homes in the event that they are unable to drive to a settlement. I love how smart she is & how her office keeps me informed as to what is happening with title matters as soon as I get a ratified contract on a listing. She also loves to cook & her hubbie and boys are pretty amazing people too! #girlpower #loudouncountyrealestate #huntcountrysir #sothebysinternationalrealty #luxuryhomes
The @loudountimes reported this past week that 19 Loudoun Wineries received gold medals 🎖️ in the Virginia Governor’s Cup! If you’re wondering what it would be like to own a winery, but not really ready to spend all of your time and money… do the next best thing: get an AWESOME HOME in Loudoun County with 22 acres of land just off the Potomac River, where @fabbioliwines harvests 5 acres of grapes 🍇 for THEIR wine production! This opportunity is located in Big Spring Farm, a community located just north of the incorporated town of Leesburg & across from the really cool neighborhood of Raspberry Falls ❤️ I’ll be on site holding an OPEN HOUSE on 3/2/25. The cigar room and wine cellar are worth seeing in person!
I created a longer video showcasing my appreciation for a few of the awesome small business owners I regularly refer to friends, neighbors & clients to make their homes look terrific. Buddy is a Loudoun County native who has been helping residential and commercial clients with their flooring needs for decades. He’s installed hardwoods & carpeting in my own home & has consulted with my relatives about water damage to their floors. It’s great to work with people who care about what they do, not just how much money they make (being profitable is important - don’t get me wrong…) The reputation of a business owner is not made by one deal, but by their client service approach, industry knowledge & integrity. #leesburgva #huntcountrysir #flooringsolutions #loudouncountyrealestate #luxuryhome
This is awards season in real estate. I’m not a huge fan of awards, as I think the REWARD of hard work is the satisfaction of doing a good job and making people happy… Nevertheless, customers like to know when they are working with you that you are GOOD. When I first joined my current brokerage, one of the big reasons I joined was Lisa. Her reputation as a great agent is beyond dispute. She has an amazing work ethic and is adept at showcasing her clients properties. And, she is the Queen of Proper Protocol. Now, I am responsible as the compliance broker in our office to review contracts (in addition to selling real estate). Lisa continues to impress me with her attention to detail, professionalism, work ethic and common sense. We both qualified for the “Platinum” award through the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors for our individual production in 2024. Neither one of us really wanted to hang out very long at the awards ceremony, so after an hour & a half, we decided to get dinner together at a pretty good French restaurant in Great Falls (IYKYK). It was probably the best French onion soup I ever had! And - a terrific evening with one of the best agents I know!
Painting a room for some people can be a lot of fun & a great way to transform the look & feel of a space. BUT sometimes, it is difficult to tackle multiple rooms in a short time period, or to touch up settlement in ceilings and corners. For more complicated projects, I recommend a professional painting crew. Stuart & Tina Nokes are the owners of Five Star Painting based in Loudoun County. I’ve been referring them to clients, friends & neighbors for 8 years. They work inside & outside homes, will fix drywall and wood rot issues, paint kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and also install wallpaper! Painting is truly one of the lowest cost projects homeowners can embark upon to transform the look and feel of their homes!#sothebysinternationalrealty #huntcountrysir #luxuryhomes #paintyourhomebeautiful #returnoninvestment
This is my 10th year selling homes 🏠 in Virginia. I’ve learned a few things in that time period - and made a few mistakes too! One of the BIGGEST mistakes SELLERS can make is to NOT seek guidance from an OBJECTIVE third party about their home. Of course your mom or best friend is going to validate your design choices (hey - I’ve painted a few rooms red and purple in my life, too! As well as marked up walls measuring my children’s growth year over year). Leigh is one of my FAVORITE vendors I regularly hire to help my sellers showcase their homes. She has a very non confrontational/non judgmental approach in her consultations and then I get to help my clients prioritize, budget, and execute on the action items we believe will make the biggest impact once their home goes on the market.

My colleague, @lisathompsonproperties has an extremely discerning client who renovated this Leesburg property within the past 2 years... and they are SELLING it! This listing went ACTIVE on Friday, 1/24/2025, and as of right now (one day later), more than 18 buyers toured it through individual appointments and several more buyers stopped by this afternoon for an OPEN HOUSE. I stopped by too because I'll be holding TOMORROW'S OPEN HOUSE. Know what - the home looks even BETTER in person!
Hawaii is EPIC! Visited Oahu 22 years ago and didn’t spend enough time exploring. This year, we ventured to Oahu & Maui as a family of 4. Went sky diving off the North Shore of Oahu. Took a snorkeling trip off Maui by the Molokai crater. Ventured on a few difficult hikes with water falls. Ate poi at a luau. Got sunburned. Read a few books. Love these islands! Feel very fortunate to be able to visit here at this time of year with family. ❤️
What an amazing day with friends, family, colleagues, runners, and wine lovers! Ran in a jingle bell 5k this morning with Mr. @peterleonardmorgan.realtor and shattered the previous record held by our brokerage (there was none - we set the baseline!!!) - since no one TOLD me dogs couldn’t race, I brought Charlie with us and he finished in first place for Golden Doodles 🐾🐾. Next up: OPEN HOUSE in Big Spring (that’s just outside of the incorporated town of Leesburg). Since it’s a large property (23 acres!) I like to make sure I have a partner for safety. I got not just one but two mortgage lenders out, @pjwarrior and Colin Wauchope, who shared some amazing renovation ideas that highlight guns & bourbon. Finally, got a table for 8 at @bluemontvineyard to see the lighting of the vines and experience a 4 course dinner with @dave_goodrum_music , @cateygoodrum , @willoughh & @wcgoodrum . Definitely RECOMMEND this experience!!! Will make it a Christmas tradition moving forward! 🎅🎄❤️
@cateygoodrum, @cschorr02 & I shopping today at THE BOOT BARN, quite possibly the most fun (and best smelling!) store in Leesburg. Could spend hours in here and take a different friend or family member to entertain on each trip! 😁💕❤️👢🤠
Very excited about this STUNNING brick colonial I’m listing in Raspberry Falls! It goes ACTIVE tomorrow. Tons of amazing updates throughout - the home looks like it fell out of someone’s HGTV playlist! Open houses on Saturday & Sunday, 2-4 pm, with lenders on site. Many thanks to my fabulous clients and the amazing team of vendors I get to work with to pull out all the stops - especially @stagedbydesignva , @skybluemediatours , @tdiviney2019 & @huntcountrysir
It takes teamwork to make the dream work!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Great week! Thank you to @jakegaddis_realestate and the fabulous brokers and agents at @ttrsir who hosted a @ninjasellingofficial 🥷Ninja Installation in our Nation’s Capitol 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 this past week. Stayed at @lyledc in Dupont. Fabulous hotel - left my reviews here in the screen shots. Ate dinner one night at @lediplomatedc - both the food & service were ON POINT! Met so many amazing realtors & gained so many great insights. Look forward to another stay in DC soon. Many thanks to @melaniejfrank who was impeccable as an instructor. Hope to see her again in Montana!!! Tagging as many classmates as possible so they consider going again to an installation!!! I’m not GREAT at Instagram - but one of my goals is to get better! So I’m following all of you peeps!!! 😘😘😘😘 @miami__realestate

Halloween 🎃 fun in the neighborhood. Got @wcgoodrum to dress up & mingle for a bit! Amazing costumes! 🤡🤡🤡
Thanks to @olp_of_nova for installing holiday lights to my house last week - under the roofline & above the front door! This is permanent lighting that can be turned on/off/changed for different occasions, like Christmas 🎅, Independence Day 🇺🇸, Halloween 🎃, etc.!!! I wanted to put these on my house during COVID to add some cheer… finally found a reputable vendor to do it! So excited about the results! 👌❤️😌
Met a fellow WAHOO today in Waterford, VA! @milonethepreservationist and I wound up volunteering as docents (tour guides) at the Waterford Fair! We were stationed at the Ephraim Schooley House, built in two different times (southern house built before 1827; northern half added around 1851). We met the current owner, Bill (he’s in the picture with me & his chihuahua Roxy), who bought the home in 2020, after deciding Waterford seemed a lot cooler than Arlington, VA.
The pics of artwork I’m sharing here were painted by Bill’s grandmother. The pics of some of the furniture I’m 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 “brother against brother” 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 😎 people like me & Will!

Sharing I phone pics I took this afternoon of a home my brokerage has listed in Hillsboro. The home is NOT new, but my colleagues (Eryn Appell, Colleen Gustavson Brownell & Lucy Roberts Campbell) prepped it with the seller to make it look as contemporary and TIMELESS as possible.
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 team’s 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 can’t 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 “what IS the owner reading????” and then getting lost down a rabbit 🐇 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 😉

This week I’m helping the owner of two beautiful townhomes find new tenants, for townhomes located in THE VILLAGE AT LEESBURG. If you or someone you know is looking for a BEAUTIFUL townhome with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two balconies, a two car garage, and the convenience of shopping, dining, commuting and the W&OD bike trail, there are TWO homes available right now to rent. Message me for pricing & availability. Pets considered on a case by case basis. Commission provided to tenant agents.
Attended the Sotheby’s International Realty global networking conference this week in Nashville, TN. Met lots of interesting agents from all corners of the world, and just inside of the beltway, too! Brought @dave_goodrum_music along so he could hang out at various honkey rinks and try out guitars while I was in class. Love working for a company with great people and a luxury reputation. It’s not the price of a house that matters when we sell, it’s the quality of the service we deliver to our clients that matters most!!!
Happy birthday! @cateygoodrum is FINALLY turning 21! Love 💕 her sense of adventure & can’t wait to see how this next year unfolds as she finishes her last year of college!
