Jacobson Realty and Home Staging Announces Company Growth

Jacobson Realty and Home Staging Announces Company Growth

Welcome Robin Ellison Grove and Vicki Martin to the company.

Jacobson Realty and Home Staging is pleased to welcome Robin Ellison Grove and Vicki Martin to the company. Grove and Martin, both longtime residents of Western Prince William County, have been in real estate for more than twelve years.

Owner and Broker Belinda Jacobson-Loehle established Jacobson Realty and Home Staging in April 2002.  “We are thrilled to have Robin and Vicki join our team,” she said. “They both are true professionals who know and love this area, which is what you need in a realtor in order to get exceptional, personalized service.  They have a real knack for home staging as well, helping sellers get the highest sales price. But even more important to me is that they are ethical and trustworthy.”

When asked about her philosophy on home buying, Grove said, “For the majority of people, the sale or purchase of their home is the largest individual investment. I never lose sight of the amount of trust that a seller or buyer is placing in the realtor they select.”

Grove also said she believes Western Prince William County still has a sense of community and green space but is convenient to D.C. Metro’s cultural activities, a major attraction for potential and current residents.

Martin said, “The housing in the area is widely varied and can accommodate a multitude of buyer needs.”

First-time buyers and retirees are two of her favorite groups to work with, Martin said.  “I am committed to building long-term relationships and making the whole real estate experience a successful one.”

According to Jacobson-Loehle, Western Prince William County is a dynamic community that has a lot to offer.  “There’s no better place, in my opinion, to be working with buyers and sellers,” she said.  “I look forward to collaborating with Robin and Vicki throughout this exciting period of growth.”

Gainesville Virginia Voted Number One for Young Families

Gainesville Virginia Voted Number One for Young Families

personal finance,

A recent article on nerdwallet.com, an online source for consumer-driven advice about personal finance, named Gainesville the number one best city for young families in Virginia, and we have to say, we agree whole-heartedly! The article cites that about 40 percent of households are families with children, which is the highest percentage of any city in the state. Pair that with fabulous schools, lots of family-friendly activities and beautiful scenery, and you’ve got a recipe for a great place to raise your family.

Gainesville District Supervisor Peter Candland commented for Bristow Beat on the nerdwallet.com findings, saying he isn’t surprised:

“Gainesville is a great place to live, work, and play. We have parks, schools, churches, and shopping so conveniently located that families can spend more time together and less time traveling to and from various events. Part of what makes Gainesville so great is a real sense of community within our neighborhoods and schools. Families can find a place to belong and become actively involved in the community. With the scenic Bull Run Mountains and the beauty of the Rural Crescent as backdrops, Gainesville combines the best of suburbia and wide open spaces. It is an idyllic slice of heaven right here in northern Virginia.”

Here are just a few reasons to bring your family to Gainesville:

Affordability – According to the nerdwallet.com survey, the median home value is $408,100, but when you compare that to the median annual family income for 2013 of $138,125 you are looking at an affordable equation for homeowners.

Growth and prosperity – According to the nerdwallet.com survey, family income has grown over 67 percent in the past 14 years. Though this community still provides a smaller-town community feel, it has definitely experienced significant growth in the past decade. According to bestplaces.net, Gainesville has grown183.53 percent since 2000!

Family friendliness – Gainesville and the surrounding area offer many family-friendly activities. You’re just an hour drive from the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains where you can experience the natural beauty of Virginia as you travel through the rolling hills, camp in the crisp mountain air or hike the beginner- and kid-friendly Old Rag. Teach your kids to golf at one of the area’s scenic golf clubs (or get a sitter and unwind on your own). Enjoy great food at one of Gainesville’s many family-friendly restaurants like Pizza NY Margherita or Grafton Street Irish Restaurant and Pub.

Educational quality – GreatSchools ranked Gainesville schools with an 8 out of 10, while the state average is 5.7. Gainesville schools are part of the Prince William County Public School District, which was also ranked in the top 8 percent in the U.S. (by Washington Post High School Challenge). Given those numbers, there’s no wonder why families with young children are flocking to this community! Find more information by visiting the Prince William County Public Schools website.

Beautiful communities – With nice houses come perks like great community amenities. Gainesville communities offer beautify scenery, landscaping and trees, walking paths, playgrounds, pools, golf courses and more.

We’re proud of Gainesville’s number one status and its many attractions. If you would like to know more about the area’s neighborhoods, call Jacobson Realty and Home Staging today at 703-338-9678, or emailBelinda@JacobsonRealty1.com.
