When Spending $669,995 For A 3-BR Property Like 1221 Powhatan St, Is It Possible To Keep The Golden Rule?

Photo of 1221 Powhatan St When you're deliberating the possibility of buying a residence in the City of Alexandria, is it possible to think about the seller? If so, is it wise to consider the seller's needs? It is my sincere effort to treat others as I wish to be treated, both in business and in my personal life. But how does that apply to a seller in the City of Alexandria when you're a home buyer scraping together $669,995? It doesn't mean that a home buyer in Northern Virginia needs to take every representation on faith. It doesn't mean you have to purchase pied-a-terre with a garage, if you don't need or want a garage. But it does mean that: We want to act honorably and honestly in all our actions. We're not interested in wasting the seller's time or the listing agent's time. We think it's important to understand the real estate market in the City of Alexandria specifically in 22314 or Virginia Village. This way we can speak with some authority about the price of townhouses like 1221 Powhatan St. Each day, I check the MLS to see what is listed for sale. Here's what I found interesting today.
