Condo Available in Fox Chapel

I am pleased to announce a great little listing that all you investors need to look at closely!

It's a two bedroom, two bath condo on the second floor in Fox Chapel in Leesburg, VA.  It's 925 square feet, and has a balcony overlooking the pool!  The address is 106 Fort Evans Road, SE, Unit D

Each home here comes with a reserved parking space and since visitor parking is right beside this building, you'll never have parking nightmares here.

What makes it a great investment property?  The numbers work here.  We're selling for $99,000; and rental comps are $1200 a month, easily.

Why is it priced so low?  It needs a little TLC and it's a short sale. 

Really, I suspect it just needs carpet and paint, but even that is a "fixxer upper" for most people looking to buy a new place to call their own.  The kitchen is dated but fully functional, and all mechanicals are in great shape from what I can tell.

This home is a short sale, and has two loans with two banks.  So, I also need a patient buyer.

If I have described you and you'd like more information, give me a jingle and let's get the ball rolling.  If you, on the other hand, are looking for a condo for yourself, I am happy to talk with you about this home.  There are limitations... you'll have to know what your financing/lender requirements are.  The owner occupancy at Fox Chapel is 47% with a 15% delinquency rate.  This means the project does not qualify for many types of financing.  If you're financing plan allows you to purchase at Fox Chapel, I am happy to show you this or any other condo or home that might meet your criteria. 


If you're looking for a buyer's agent who can help analyze options for your personal circumstance, hire someone who really knows the local real estate market.  Hire me!

Playhouses that ROCK!


I saw this article this morning, and all I could think was....

Dear Daddy,

When I asked for a playhouse and you gave me the shed you'd previously kept the mower in (because you bought a newer bigger one of those)... Well, perhaps I should have been more specific.

From,
Your Loving

341 Lake View Way, NW Leesburg, Virginia


The road name is a little misleading, as there is no view of a lake from this home.  But, the neighborhood (Old Waterford Knoll) is still one of my favorites inside the Leesburg town limits.  It's walking distance to Morven Park, Ida Lee, Rust Library and Downtown Leesburg.

This is a large home, including the basement it has about 3500 square feet of finished living area.  It offers 4 large bedrooms and 4 and a half baths, a study and a 2 car garage. It's got a two story family room with a lovely gas fireplace as a center focal point. It backs to a rather steep hill ... a great "sleigh riding" hill we're told.... with a heavily treed area at the top.  While I am sure it's a little difficult to mow, the privacy it affords is fantastic.

Interested in learning more?  Contact me to arrange for a private showing!

Taste Test Tuesday

It's Taste Test Tuesday!

OK, I will admit that I am stealing the "game" from Zillow.com, but I liked it.  Every Tuesday I will post pictures of 2 or more homes and ask for your favorite.  I might shake it up a bit just for variety, but in this case, I have posted 2 pictures of Single Family Homes, both in Loudoun County, both currently for sale, and both priced the same.  So, which do you like? 

Like "The Real Estate Whisperer" on Facebook and let us know!! Tomorrow, I will post details on the facebook page, and you'll learn the price location and other such fun facts about both homes.


If you are looking for a home like these or any other, I'd love to help!
