MARKET CONDITIONS: The inventory of homes for sale in our region is still high while interest rates are low. It's a great time to buy real estate! Read more about 10 Big Reasons to Buy Now.

BUYER and SELLER TIPS: We maintain an extensive library of both written and audio-visual materials that are available to assist our buyers and sellers. For information on our available booklets and DVDs with tips on buying a home, pricing a home to sell, or preparing a home to show to its best advantage, please Contact Me.

BUYERS: Are you aware that the real estate agent whose name and phone number appear on a For Sale sign actually works for the seller? When we work as your Buyer's Agent we will represent you, not the seller, during your home search, your contract negotiations, and the closing process.

We can show you any property in the area Multiple Listing Service -- that's thousands of properties -- and the sellers have already made provisions in their listing agreements to provide compensation to us as your Buyer's Agent when we sell their property. That means we're working for you for FREE!

This applies to New Construction as well. Sales personnel at new homes projects work directly for the seller, not for you. Since there is no charge for our assistance in buying a new home, it makes good sense to have us working on your behalf. Just remember that for us to represent you, one of us must go with you on your very first visit to a model home and register us and Long and Foster Real Estate as your agents. We can also help you buy or sell a building lot.

FIND A LENDER: Before you begin your home search you should already have selected a lender and started your loan pre-approval process. If you need help finding a lender in the Culpeper area, Contact Me for a list. Or, for your convenience, a representative of Prosperity Mortgage, a Long and Foster Real Estate affiliate, is located in our Culpeper office.

SELLERS: When we work as a Seller's Agent you'll appreciate how our in-depth Marketing uses the latest technology to expose your home to the most buyers. Your property will appear on numerous regional and national real estate websites as well as the MLS system that all of the real estate agents use. We believe in maximum online exposure for your property.

Excellent photography showcases your property including a virtual tour from Visual Tour. And, Rosanne's e-PRO designation assures that you will benefit from her training as an Internet professional in the real estate industry.
