COMMUNTIY SPOTLIGHT: FAIR LAKES
April 30th, 2009 categories: Nearby Communities
This week we put our “Spotlight” on Fair Lakes. If you like a little urban style as part of the mix you may want to be aware of Fair Lakes. It breaks the suburban pattern somewhat by blending in a city feel right in the middle of suburbia. Not too long ago I helped one of my clients make a move from a traditional suburban home and into one of the condos at Fair Lakes. They are enjoying the change.
Especially if you have a condo or townhouse in mind, it is worth checking out.
This will get you started. If you want to see what foreclosures or short sales are available in this community, please use one of the links below to let me know, and I will get you a current list.

COX FARMS: A CHANTILLY TRADITION
November 15th, 2008 categories: Centreville Area, Chantilly Fairfax County, Chantilly Loudoun Cnty, Community Life, Nearby Communities
Cox Farms is a Chantilly tradition. The familiar sign marquee at the intersection of Braddock and Pleasant Valley Roads, with the occasional humorous message, is a Chantilly landmark in its own right.
In the late winter, after one bad weather day too many, the Cox Farm markee reminds us that Spring is on the way. After a short winter break, the Farm opens to bring in the Spring. During Spring and Summer, drivers passing or visiting the Farm get a blast of color from the many flowers that line up near or under the Farm pavilion.
Then, in that transition period when summer is nearly over but the crisp air of Fall has yet to kick-in, you’ll see the sequential message signs along Pleasant Valley Road, reminding you that the Fall Festival is on the way. It is one of those annual events that punctuate the passing seasons, and it has become a local tradition.
The event is the Cox Farms Fall Festival. It’s a little touch of rural Disney World in Northern Virginia suburbia. Non-stop hayrides, live entertainment, farm exhibits and demos, fun rides that seem to increase in number each year, tasty food treats, all the pumpkins you could ever want, lots of other Fall-type items, and best of all, getting that feeling of open space and countryside ambiance right here in Northern Virginia!
I have gotten to know the owners and staff at Cox Farms over the years. They are an absolutely teriffic team of service-oriented and community spirited people who work their heart out every year to put on a wonderful event.
If you have not brought the kids to this experience, give it a try. They will probably want you to make it an annual event.
This year’s Fall Festival is over but the Farm will be reopening on November 28 with its Christmas Tree and Holiday Wreath items.
Here was this year’s Fall schedule should you want to get a sense of when it starts and ends . I’d guess next year’s event will be similar. You can get more info at the Cox Farms website.
WHEN? September 20 to October 31, 2008 – 10 AM to 6 PM
November 1 to November 4, 2008 – 10 AM to 5 PM
ADMISSION – Monday to Friday: $9 – Saturday & Sunday $15

TOP 25 RE/MAX AGENTS IN VIRGINIA
November 12th, 2008 categories: Centreville Area, Chantilly Fairfax County, Chantilly Loudoun Cnty, Featured Listings, Nearby Communities
If you will forgive us, we are going to do what we don’t do very often. So if you will let me “toot our own
horn” for a moment, I want to mention that we were recognized by RE/MAX International as among the Top 25 RE/MAX agents in Virginia during 2008.
We don’t normally proclaim our awards to the world, because our emphasis in on our clients, not ourselves. But I do share this once and awhile because it does communicate that we are a successful business, and our success enables us to serve our clients all the more effectively.
So let me turn this award into an opportunity to express appreciation to the people we have and will serve.
And if by any chance you happen to be reading this post and you are still in the “undecided” camp regarding your real estate agent, please know that you can carefully examine our business philosophy (click here and scroll down to “Our Values & Commitments” video) to see if we align on the issues. If so, we’d love to have your vote, or at least the opportunity to learn more about your goals!

RELIEF FROM “AUTHENTICITY DEFICIT DISORDER:” HUNTER’S HEAD TAVERN
August 29th, 2008 categories: Chantilly Loudoun Cnty, Community Life, Nearby Communities
If you live in the Chantilly, Centreville, or Western Fairfax area, and you’d like an original dining experience, read about this gem we visited out in Upperville, Virginia. Head west on Route 50, and after you have passed South Riding and Stone Ridge, you come up to the intersection of Route 50 and Route 15. Keep going, past historic Middleburg, and let the stress fade as you enjoy the rolling hills and gentle views along this road.
Before long, you are in the very small town of Upperville. You’ll see a few businesses along either side of the road, and just after you enter the town, on the right side you’ll notice the
We “field tested” – I guess I should say “field tasted” – the Hunter’s Head in preparation for this feature, and it came up with a straight “A”. Occasionally, there is a dining experience that provides not only good food, but a setting that makes the experience memorable. I’d put Hunter’s Head clearly in that category. You can get the historical synopsis of the building, as well as other information about the philosophy and approach of Hunter’s Head by visiting their website.
For anyone who appreciates a space with history on its side, the Tavern is a treat. What is now the Hunter’s Head Tavern, and was previously The Carr House, was a log cabin build in 1750. With a great deal of time and effort, the building has been preserved with much of its original structure intact. Sitting inside this space gives you that unmistakable sense of walking back in time. The Hunter’s Head has any number of “distinctives.” Three are apparent when you discover the interesting background and operating philosophy behind this restaurant: first, the focus on organic food products; second, support and participation in the practice of localized, family farming; and third, belief in and practical application of humane livestock practices. Hunter’s Head and its affiliates, including Ayrshire Farm, are providing leadership around these issues.
But back to the experience of dining at the Hunter’s Head. The food is a combination of “Pub grub” and…I would call it “Fresh American.” The daily specials don’t knock you back with fancy “holier than thou” titles. They are understandable entrees, along with Pub inspired classics, that will put you in the comfort zone of comfort food. We had an absolutely superb dinner, and plan on returning.
The Tavern’s General Manager, David Stephens, is passionate about both the quality of the food and the philosophy behind its production. His dedication is apparent in the results.
So..if you’d like relief from the ADD (Authenticity Deficit Disorder) that plagues much too much of the food service world these days, you will definitely want to put Hunter’s Head Tavern on your list.
And if you do visit, let us know what you think.
