This past week we found and ratified a contract for a townhome for one of our clients in Fairfax County (Annandale)and attracted a buyer for our Washington Model on Gunston. There are only 6 units for sale in Parkfairfax......since the interest rates are so low, call us to get one of them. Or if you're moving out of Parkfairfax, call us to get a good deal this Holiday Season, the best time to buy of anytime of the year.

November 21st, 2008.

John and I were in Continuing Education ALL DAY yesterday in Silver Spring, MD, to retain our Broker License in D.C. This is interesting: did you know there's a 3 business day right of recission to void your contract on condo documents in DC, 3 calendar day right of recission in VA?

It took only 40 minutes to get to the instruction site from Parkfairfax, but took an hour to get back home after the classes ended at 4:30. However, gasoline (premium) was only $2.32 per gallon. The least expensive price around here (for us) has been $2.46 per gallon.

We ratified a contract on 3383 Martha Custis yesterday, a one bedroom Garfield. Our clients' properties ARE selling. Come see us this weekend. We'll be on Gunston, Ravensworth and Coryell.

Have a great productive weekend.

JohnandJohn Team

Good weekend. 4 open houses in Parkairfax produced a total of 120 visits. We love bringing new people into the park. The number of people attending that saw our signs at Parkfairfax's entrances amazes me. And the nice people that used to live here, now out-of-area, that bring back their friends, childrens, acquaintenances. I met a lady the other day who bought her father's apartment when he lived here 30 years ago. He moved away when the apartments went condo, and the unit became available as she was looking for a new home. What a small world.

Have you ever been overseas and met people from Alexandria. It happened to us in Italy in 2007.

Went to a belated birthday party for a current Parkfairfax resident and a past resident on Sat. night. 4 of us now live in Parkfairfax and 1 had visited friends here for 20 years. We met in a Madison model on Gunston, had the windows wide open to take advantage of the nice cool air. If you walked by, you probably heard us until about 10:30pm.

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week. If you travel, be safe!

Oh, b4 I forget, for those of you who want a practically fat-free dinner, try buffalo. There's a vendor at the Arlington County Farmers market every Sat. It costs more than beef, but the taste is good....and almost NO fat and it's all natural.
