3/24/09 JW's been in continuing education courses all day. Good classes. Here's the best of what was taught: 1. Get the best accountant possible 2. Make certain your client is well taken care of-don't hesitate to recommend a Real Estate Attorney when questions are out of a Realtor's "paygrade"
And the most important item was: We have chosen this profession and we want the best education possible to help our clients. If we forget to ask for your business, then ask us "Do you want our business?" We are NEVER too busy for your referrals. If we forget to ask you to refer The JOHNandJOHN Team to your friends, co-workers and relatives, please know we want to help them, and work with them to help them achieve their goals.
If any one of the Team; Carter Hagen, David Lausier, John Meyer or John Welch asks for your business and the business of your people who want to move anywhere in the world, then we're doing what we should!!

3/19/2009-Blogging class today for John Meyer and John Welch. We learned that www.Parkfairfax.com and www.johnANDjohn.net get more hits that most every local Real Estate blog or website in NVAR. One of the reasons The JOHNandJOHN Team has been in the Top 20 Realtors in the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors since 2000. We sell properties in the detached home communitites of Jefferson Park, Beverly Hills, Braddock Heights, Aurora Hills, Lyon Village & Lyon Park where multiple offers continue. Go to www.JohnandJohn.net and view the photos of our new listing on Taylor Ave. listed for $749,999.
Condominium Communities in the Shirlington area are selling well. EZ commute to DC yet far enough to enjoy the greenery that spring (starting tomorrow) will bring. We specialize in the Condo communities of Parkfairfax, Fairlington, The Arlington, & Courtbridge. Since the Feds pumped new money into the monetary system yesterday, interest rates went down AGAIN. Add low interest rates with $8000 off your tax bill this year or next for buying a home this year (Dec 1. is the cutoff date). This should help buyers feel more comfortable with purchasing. Interest rates WILL increase. And since the stock market has gone up 1000 points from the low, smiles are brighter and spending is back. This evening The Settlement Group and Keith Livingston of Bank of America gave a wine and cheese party for RE/MAX Realtors.
Tuesday night we saw A Chorus Line at The Warner Theatre after eating dinner at Marc's Central Kitchen on Pennsylvania. The food was delicious, service professional, but the sound level was jacked up too loudly. Get the west coast raw oysters, any main course & bread pudding for dessert.
What do you think about a member of the House of Representative's proposal to give one $3500-$700 for your 8+ year old car if you buy a new car that gets 28+ miles per gallon?
For those of you who know John Meyer, he's progessing in physical therapy. The rotator cuff surgery will help him put those signs into the ground at a greater velocity! He's back at work and looks forward to helping you sell or buy your next property. Carter Hagen has just returned from showing a Parkfairfax home that we have "under contract". And David Lausier, our other Broker/Realtor is preparing an offer on a Parkfairfax home in the morning.

March 11th we had lunch with a new client from Denver at Willow on Washington Blvd. in Arlington, near N. Glebe Rd. Maybe we should have chosen another entree, but the substitute tuna sandwich for cod wasn't great.
Today, The Settlement Group, our preferred title company invited Bob Fredricks, their attorney to talk with the creme-de-le-creme RE/MAX Realtors from the Alexandria office, about contract language. I learned that when a foreclosure is sold, (like the one in Parkfairfax we put under contract) all liens are paid or forgiven, like taxes, condo fees, etc.
Look at johnandjohn.net for a new detached home listing in fashionable Jefferson Park. Rarely does one find a 4 bedroom/2baths upstairs home coming on the open market for sale. Sunday, March 22nd we'll have an open house.
