"Glad to be back!"
"We had our home listed with The GOLD Team. We switched to another agent. What a nightmare! We ended up with the agent's broker representing us because the agent was helping the buyers against us! Now, we once again leverage the professionalism, contracts expertise and negotiating skills of The GOLD Team for our family's Virginia purchases and sales."
R.M., Woodbridge

You have a story to tell about us. You've worked with us, and we've helped you buy or sell a home. We need your feedback. Others need your feedback, too! Please take a moment to fill out this form and tell us how we did...
Here is a scenario for sellers to avoid. You contact a real estate agent to list your home and the agent suggests that you might get more for your house than comparable homes on the market. The agent assures you that it only takes finding one person who is willing to pay your price!
Some agents approach a listing appointment as if they are bidding for your home. The unfortunate result is that you start out with an unrealistic opinion of your home's value. There is often a strong temptation to work with a person who says what you want to hear. An experienced, reputable real estate agent will back up their opinion of your home's value with hard data. The agent should give you information about the listing price of homes that are currently on the market, and recent selling prices of similar properties in your immediate area.
Even the most heroic marketing efforts won't work on a property that is obviously overpriced, (except in the most exaggerated of seller's markets.) Even if you find a buyer who is willing to pay more than your home is worth, the sale could fall apart when the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price. Listen to everything, but be careful!
