A word from Brandon Green…
With 100+ degree heat baking the real estate market this month, and snow measured in feet only a few short months ago, I’m frequently asked - does the weather impact the real estate market? The short answer is yes. The engine that drives the real estate market are buyers who physically are touring homes - many of which are only moderately motivated in today’s environment. Therefore, weather conditions can definitely cause buyer traffic to change and therefore the sale can be pushed down the road. My advice to my seller is to focus on what you can control - which is property condition, and price. The weather will change eventually and the buyers will be back out looking at property so “chill” and you’ll see a change soon. If you’re not sure about your particular situation, contact me and we’ll go through the particulars. brandon@brandongreen.com or 202-318-1623.

Featured success story…
David Neveu and Eric Hester just bought a wonderful new home in Alexandria and their home in Arlington is currently under contract. This is what they had to say about Brandon Green:
“Brandon is simply extraordinary. This is the second property that I have purchased with Brandon’s assistance, and he always makes it seem effortless. His advice is invaluable. His attention to detail is amazing. He perfects just the right balance between toughness and diplomacy. He listens to the client, never loses his patience, and he really knows the market. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.”
Just for fun…
Recently, Brandon took the team to the Washington DC Trapeze School for a little team building exercise. Now that’s some high flying fun!
