Finally March is here. Another 8" of snow since I last blogged. We've seen alot of shrub, tree and property damage. God bless those people in Haiti and Chile. We've had problems, but those people have had disasters!! Let's start thinking about warming breezes and outdoor evenings. But I just heard from a relative who lives in Tampa. They're having our future "yellow dust" season! You remember, your car, shrubs, patio furniture or outdoor seating is COVERED with yellow dust.

Parkfairfax Condominums continue to sell well. As of this writing there are only 7 units for sale. Call The JOHNandJOHN Team at 703-820-9723 to discuss them. With the $8000 buyer Tax Credit.....the closer we get to April 30th, the more people will be ANXIOUS to buy. Also please remember (for those of you who want to move to another home) $6500 tax credit can be yours!!! Call us now. There are so many good properties in the metro area that are available for sale. You may think $8000 or $6500 isn't alot of money. When is the last time you heard of the government giving a tax break (cash) to purchase property-never!! Why NOT take advantage of this gift.

We've recently found properties for clients on Upland, Harvard & Columbus in Alexandria, and N. Vermont in Arlington. And there's the couple who bought a bargain, completely renovated Hollin Hall area of Alexandria, Fairfax County. Alot of you have told us you think we work only in Parkfairfax and it's our job to let you know that about 1/2 of our annual sales come from Parkfairfax; although we are BY FAR the most productive Realtors for Parkfairfax.

In 2009, we were named the 100th top Team out of all the 85,000 Realtors in all of RE/MAX! In the Northern Virginia Board of 13,000 Realtors, we're in the top 10 again for the 10 year in a row. What does this mean to you, our client or customer-our listings attract buyers from the other top 19 Realtors. Those Realtors know us and our professionalism and WANT their buyers to procure one of our properties. For our buyers, this means we're usually advised of listings before they go public and can therefore let our qualified buyers see them 1st. Or we know when a bargain has appeared and can let you know immediately.

Thank all of you who have referred us business in 2009/2010. We continue to be able to give our clients/customers the ultimate in service working 7 days per week, 365 days per year. All 4 of us appreciate YOU.

Carter, David, John and John
