Congratulations To Our Grads!
In the midst of one of the busiest spring markets in memory (a record twelve closings in May alone) we have bigger news to share this month - THREE of our five girls graduated from college! In order below:
- Eileen Nalls (with proud dad) Virginia Tech, BS Business (accounting) Magna Cum Laude (!)
- Adele Carnemark (with mom) James Madison, MA Exceptional Education;
- Madeleine Carnemark (with big sisters Callie and Adele) Tulane, BA(s) Philosophy and Environmental Studies, Cum Laude.
Just so darned proud of all three of them - actually tearing up again while I type! You GO girls!!

Our Clients of the Month are two of my very favorite people, Bob English and Caroline Watler. (They certainly deserved a better picture - note to self, clean the lense on humid days!) Bob and Caroline contacted us to list their home in Rock Creek Forest well in advance of their planned move to Florida. Because we had time, we were able to work together to declutter, repair and stage the home so that it showed to it's very best advantage - and time the sale perfectly to the absolute peak of our spring market. We wish them great good luck in the Sunshine State!
