Pushed off land by soaring housing prices, Clay is one of a growing number of Washington area residents making their homes on barges and schooners from the District’s Southwest waterfront to Chesapeake Bay inlets in Southern Maryland, marina managers say. Our region is running out of land … some of those in the D.C. area have more options. Story here.

Poor service
I met a nice couple today who are in the process of acclimating themselves to our market. Planning to send a few properties that meet their basic needs/wants in the Crozet area, I am sending them some active and under contract properties…. There are 44 properties active and under contract in the Crozet area that meet their basic needs…. Two questions – why do Realtors not put at least one picture in the MLS and two, why do Sellers not insist on better service?
New basketball coach at UVa.
Interesting comment today from Dave Leitao in his first press conference at UVa. He said that in deciding whether to accept the position, he took the, in his words, “virtual tour†of Grounds. We design and implement these every day. Useful tools, these Visual Tours!
A tough loss
My daughter played a great game today – scored the goal! My phone was ringing like mad in my back pocket, but I have learned that it is important to schedule out family time. My daughter’s soccer games and practices are non-negotiable appointments. I hope that my clients and customers respect that.
Great marketing plan
My mom and I went on a listing presentation this evening for a corporate relocation of a State Farm employee…. It felt good to be able to match some awards and accolades with her; she has been in the business for most of my life and I am finally building my own referral business and accolades. When asked whether we have a website besides the basic MLS, I was able to rattle off our main website, Jduncanrealestate.com, this blog, Century 21 Manley’s site, Century 21’s site … I forgot to mention the links through Visualtour’s site, Homegain’s site and Yahoo’s listings.
The saga continutes
The wife is on the phone now with the Great Wolf Lodge, home of quite possibly the worst customer service ever. Not only did we have a host of problems, they overcharged us! Three phone calls later (and at least three different managers), they have removed (supposedly) the incorrect charges have been corrected.
