“Stephanie was so professional, but also warm and personable from the moment she walked in our home. Not only was she very familiar with the current market and highly knowledgeable … of our neighborhood and area, she was the most detailed agent I have ever worked with. Unlike other agents we'd worked with in the past, she made sure that we reviewed and discussed every possible part of our home that could potentially be raised as an issue in the sale and discussed her recommendations with us. We agreed on a plan to prepare our home for market with the goal of a quick sell at top dollar. She definitely delivered! We had a high price offer the first weekend on market. Her services didn't stop there. She was very helpful with us during the moving process and even made arrangements for cleaning services as well as for the trash to be collected after we were gone. Stephanie provided top of the line, full service from beginning to end! I'd definitely recommend working with Stephanie!” Read More ▾

How Do Tariffs Impact the DMV Housing Market?
Tariffs on materials like lumber and steel can raise construction and renovation costs, which means:
• Fewer new homes
• Higher home prices
• More expensive remodels
In a competitive market like the DMV, even global trade decisions can hit close to home.

One our favorite places to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather is the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail (GCCCT). The Cross County Trail (CCT) spans 40 miles and connects the county from the Potomac River in the north to the Occoquan River in the south end of the county. Have you enjoyed this fantastic trail?
