Will it be a Flip or a Flop in LoCo?
A few weeks off from coaching softball and there tends to be a lot of HGTV on in my house. The current programming includes a bunch of renovation shows like Flip or Flop, Rehab Addict, and Fixer Upper. They make it seem easy to find a home in bad shape, spend 2 months repairing it,... Read More
This Goose is Finally Cooked
For as long as I can remember there have been whispers about Goose Creek Golf Club being turned into a housing community. During my 12 years as the golf professional at Westpark Golf Club I think it changed hands 4 times. Every time a new group bought the course we thought it would be the... Read More
Coach’s Corner, Where Everybody Knows Your Name
One of my favorite shows growing up was Cheers, a sitcom about a Boston bar and the lives of the people who frequented it. The theme song and tag line of the show was “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. I think every community yearns for that kind of place and thanks to Rob & Jen... Read More
CarrHomes Hits a Home-Run with Waterford Creek
We’ve always felt part of the reasoning behind having an estate was to feel secluded. Unfortunately most of the new communities we’ve seen offering 3+ acre lots fall short. Don’t get me wrong, rolling terrain is great for a golf course or a farm but sitting in the middle of a field isn’t my idea... Read More

After a strong 2013 which saw sales rise 21% most of us in the real estate industry were expecting a banner year for 2014.

Dreaming of Warmer Weather
I was going to write a post about our awesome school system in LoCo but it was a little difficult to come up with something nice after the way LCPS handled this past Tuesday. Instead let’s think happier thoughts and talk about golf, namely my favorite courses and my realistic bucket list. Back in 2005 I went... Read More
Most Expensive Homes Sold in LoCo, 2014
This is one of my favorite posts to write and always one of our most popular. Only the top seller this year would have cracked 2013’s top 5 but all signs point to a bounce back for the 2015 real estate market. Let’s get to it, here are the top 5 most expensive homes sold in LoCo for... Read More
Tuscarora Football Has Something Special
I’m a firm believer that youth sports are about a lot more than what happens on the field or the court. They are a great way to teach our kids lessons which can last their entire lives. Things like working hard, learning to lead, and being accountable for your actions. Sure there are other ways... Read More
I Know A Guy
I’ve probably said it here before but I am a huge movie buff. When we built our house the only thing I wanted was to make sure we had a home theater. Last week Heather and I watched Two Guns with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. It’s about two undercover agents who are trying to... Read More
It’s Christmas in LoCo
There are a number of holiday activities happening this weekend and it looks like it Mother Nature is going to cooperate. If you are feeling adventurous you could probably hit them all: Purcellville Parade, Saturday, Dec. 13th at 12:00 Jingle Jam, Tally Ho, Saturday Dec. 13th at 2:30 & 8:00 Leesburg Parade, Saturday Dec. 13th at 6:00...

Playing a Round at Creighton Farms Golf Club
I’ve played a lot of high caliber golf courses, Congressional, Pinehurst, Treyburn (that’s Michael Jordan’s club in Durham, NC) just to name a few. It takes more than a gate and a high initiation fee to stand out. Along with perfect conditions the layout must be challenging, the setting spectacular, and the service impeccable. It was...
