Introducing The Reynolds Team's

Tour of Homes

 You Can View Several Homes In One Afternoon!

The Tour of Homes is a quick and easy way to preview several homes in a couple of hours without any pressure or hassle.

The Tour of Homes is a great way to get an overview of what homes and features are available in your price range.

Here's how it works: Each Saturday or Sunday, we conduct one or two tours of 4-10 homes each. The tours run between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, and you can meet us at any home on either tour. Feel free to drive by the homes before their scheduled tour times, but once the tour starts, don't be late for the one(s) you want to preview. There will be lots of other buyers on the tour, and show times are exact.

Our Tour is Very Different Than a Traditional Open House

Traditional open houses are sometimes uncomfortable for both buyers and sellers because you've often got a hovering agent watching your every move. Most importantly, they're NOT very effective at selling homes either. In fact, according to industry statistics, less than 1% of homes are sold as a result of a traditional open house. That's why we don't do them.

In contrast, our well-organized and efficient Tours are much more convenient and productive for both buyers and sellers. We found that most buyers can determine within a very short time-frame whether or not they're interested in a home they've previewed.

If you see a home on the tour that you're interested in, a second private showing can easily be scheduled for you (often later in the same day). Our first Tour of Homes will be held Sunday, February 19 from 1-3pm! See you this Sunday! The schedule for February 19 is as follows:

Meet and Greet- 1:00-1:15

42065 Greenstone Drive, Stone Ridge, VA 20105- 1:15-1:35

25438 Bright Court, Aldie, VA 20105- 1:45-2:05

25604 Summerall Drive, Aldie VA 20105- 2:10-2:30

42041 Porch Light Drive, Aldie, VA 20105- 2:40-3:00

 Lenah Run, Aldie, VA 

Congratulations to our most recent client, Susan McGregor on the sale of her home in Lenah Run! It was truly an honor to work with you!

Thank you for your kind words:

 “I gave The Reynolds Team a call because of their focus on our local neighborhood and their track record. I was discouraged after being listed with another agent, and no offers. Sarah and The Reynolds Team had their stager and photographer come in and I could automatically tell a difference in the level of service and marketing that they offered.  They ended up selling my home in 30 days for 99.7% of the asking price!  If you need an agent to sell your home, give  The Reynolds Team a call today!”

Congratulations to our wonderful clients, Sylester and Shirley Twine on the sale of their home! We are so happy for you!

 We want to congratulate our wonderful clients, Bobby and Peachy Choochan on the sale of their townhouse in Aldie, VA. We are so honored to have been able to help them in their transition to a larger home.

We were able to get them 99% of their asking price! We also helped them in the buying process and it was certainly a difficult and stressful time for them. They had found the home of their dreams and were under a ratified contract contingent upon the seller closing on the home they were purchasing. Then the deal fell through and their dream home was no longer for sale. The Choochans were very disappointed and my team and I were frantictly trying to find them a new home that they would love just as much or more! We are so happy to say that we were able to get them under contract again within 6 days with one of our own listings in the same area. This is what the Choochans had to say about their experience working with us:

"We absolutely loved working with Sarah Reynolds and her team. They were very professional, knowledgeable and understood our requirements. They brought in several people to help stage, photograph and list the home. The brochures and web listed was excellent and showed well. We sold our home for 99% of our asking price and could not be happier in this market. Sarah and her team also helped us on the buying side as well. After our first choice of home was withdrawn, we were quite disappointed but Sarah reassured us that we would find a home that met our needs. While Sarah had a listing that would become our new home, they also sent out targeted mailers to homeowners in our neighborhood. Sarah's team went the extra mile to ensure us as many possibilities in our short timeframe. An added benefit was that they sold our home for free since we were purchasing one of their listed properties. We highly recommend Sarah and her team and would use their services again and would recommend them highly to friends and family!”

This past month we just sold a short sale in Ashburn Virgina, the lender was Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.  This was an interesting one because the first trust (also Wells Fargo) was getting a full pay off, so only the second was being shorted.  The short sale took about three months to get approved and closed.  The owners owed about 100k over what the home was worth.

We got an email from the owner last week thanking us for getting the short sale sold and said "it was the best experience I have had with selling real estate!".   

If you know anyone that is having trouble with paying their mortgage, or must move and they owe more than what their home is worth, give us a call!  You can reach us at 703-297-4251 for a FREE consultation on how we can help you!

 The 20105 zip code is one of the fastest growing zip codes in Northern Virginia. We are so excited about the possibilities for growth in this area!

                 Inventory levels have increased in the 20105 zip code in this last quarter.  We currently have 121 homes for sale, which is the highest we have had all year.  We have 44 homes that are under contract.  With  inventory levels that high, we would really like to see more homes under contract.  We have also had a slow down in showings on active listings, which is a little bit discouraging.  This is the first time this year that things have slowed down to this level.  Staging and price are now more important than ever to compete in today’s market!  The good news is that buyers have a good amount of homes to choose from; there are some great homes on the market right now! If you are looking to buy or sell give us a call today for a no obligation consultation! 

 Below are a list of ALL homes that sold in 20105 in September:

The Reynolds Team just listed this home in Annandale, VA and successfully put it under contract in JUST 2 Days!!

7702 Thor Drive, Annandale, VA

Congratulations to the buyers, Hai & My-Hanh Trieu and the seller, Rod Horner. We are so happy for all of you!  Not only were we able to get it under contract in just 2 days but for 96% of the asking price!

We want to remind you:

It is extremely important that both buyers and sellers pick the right real estate professional to assist them with their real estate needs.

BUYERS

Make sure your agent can not only help you find the home of your dreams but also find you professional assistance with all aspects of the transaction (mortgaging, title, etc.)

SELLERS

Realize that your agent must sell the home twice:

1. to a qualified buyer
2. to the bank (through the appraiser).

The second sale may be more difficult in this market than the first.

Bottom Line

It is imperative in this housing market that both buyers and sellers use a true real estate professional to guarantee that the deal will actually reach the closing table.

On Friday we closed on a Chase Short Sale in Aldie, Virginia and were able to get the deficiency fully waved as well as get our clients a 3,000 dollar relocation fee. This was our fasted approval since we have started doing short sales.  We got it approved in 30 days from start to finish.  The largest hiccup was the first buyer on the property could not get financing, so we had to put the house back on the market.  We were able to get a new buyer, new approval within a week, and we closed on Friday.  Chase was the only lender on the home, and the negotiator that was assigned to this file was great to work with.  Here is the break out of how much was owed versus the approval: 

$412,000     Balance Owed

 - $290,000     Sold Price         

      $122,000        Deficiency Waved

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mortage, give us a call at 703-297-4251!  We can help!

This wonderful note popped in our email today and we just had to share!  Thank you to Joy Hunter for the kind words! 

TO:  The Reynolds Team

I want to thank you once again for your outstanding services.  I'm still beaming over the fact that my home sold in only four days and near my asking price!

This was my fourth house to sell so I entered the experience well educated on the process and how very critical the seller-realtor partnership is to success.   The current housing market made my quest for the right realtor absolutely essential.   In my initial phone call to the Reynolds Team, Sarah hit a home run with my tough interview questions.  Every subsequent step in the entire process was equally stellar.  I credit this to true team play and high standards of customer service of the Reynolds Team.

--Katy was not only always timely in her responses both online and by phone, but genuinely interested and supportive regarding my questions and information needs. 

--The professional stager offered crucial and helpful suggestions to give my property the competitive edge over other condos in my complex simultaneously listed.  The cost for her suggestions was only "elbow grease" and a little paint on my part.  The professional photographer beautifully captured the results of the stager's advice and my work.  Friends who knew my home well could not believe the transformation.   The family purchasing the home noted the overall appearance and cleanliness of the home was a major factor in their decision to buy.

--Sarah knows how to select and lead an all-star realty team.  While everyone was involved in the effort to sell my home, there was no doubt that Sarah was quarterbacking the overall strategy.  She was quite knowledgeable regarding current local and national real estate trends plus on the cutting edge of web based computer marketing strategies.  

In closing, the Reynolds Team truly delivers!
