Happy Friday! As my first work week is finally winding down, I realized I have a lot on my plate already. Although I am focusing on doing the little tasks/marketing, I am starting to dip my toes into the property management division and sales division of Condo 1 (much earlier than I expected). I am hosting an open house in Waterview (http://www.waterviewresidences.com/) for one of the other agents, Stevie, this Sunday from 2-4. We went to the unit 2 days ago, and I was stunned. Right when you walk in the foyer there was an elegant lobby area with marble floors, friendly front desk attendants, and an exquisite modern seating area. The unit was on the 19th floor, and I am still getting used to the high rise buildings in Arlington compared to Chapel Hill where there is a 9 story building restriction. The rooftop sold me. The 31th floor rooftop had the most amazing views of the river and downtown DC (look at the website I attached if you don’t believe me). The rooftop has the most relaxing breeze, a grill, tables, long chairs, and a great entertaining atmosphere. After seeing this one building I am really looking to seeing all the different upscale condos around Arlington!

New Agent Blog

Hello everyone! My name is Alexandra Earnshaw, and I just moved to the area a mere 5 days ago. I am a southern girl, originally from North Carolina. I recently graduated from the Kenan Flagler Business School at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go tarheels!) with a major of Business Administration with specializations in Finance and Marketing. My whole life, aka the past 4 years of college, I have dreamt of moving to DC after graduation to do real estate. Today is my first day of the real world, a real 9-5 job. My unemployed friends make fun of me saying that now I have business cards I am officially an adult and have sold my soul to the working world. Although I have my real estate license, I am going to be doing marketing/whatever my boss tells me, and hopefully once I learn the area, begin selling. I successfully conquered the metro, and driving in the city is my next adventure. My roommate and I decided to live in Van Ness of northern DC because we wanted to be in the “middle” of it all without paying ridiculous rent, but as I walked around Clarendon today, I wish I investigated this area more before moving because it seems like it has a great night life, while still being incredibly clean, and safe. Maybe once my lease runs out I’ll be moving into this area.
