Informative video showing how the Northern Virginia area finished up 2011. It’s going to be a GREAT 2012!

I like to advertise in my local school directory. My wife works at Sangster, my kids have gone or go Sangster. The advertisement includes a picture of Linny of “Lunch with Linny” fame. A contest to win an actual lunch with Linny will be on my main page shortly.

Neighborhoods that feed to Sangster include: South Run, Somerset at South Run, South Run Forest, Orange Hunt Estates, Orange Hunt Square, Lakewood Hills, Longwood Knolls, Shadowalk, Foutainhead and several others. It’s a great school!

Slideshow giving an overview of the home buying process in Northern Virginia.

This video has been updated for 2011. It is also why most of my marketing efforts are Internet focused. A home seller absolutely requires an online real estate marketing plan to help get their home sold. The old days were a little easier. Postcards and cold calling. Now it’s blog, Facebook, YouTube (and/or Vimeo), Twitter, LinkedIn, Craigslist and militarybyowner primarily. It’s a lot more work but being a tech guy in a former career, I prefer it. It’s also more productive, in my opinion.

Gary Vaynerchuk wrote The Thank You Economyand was recently interviewed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Definitely applicable to real estate marketing of self and homes.
