Can You Be Thoughtful When Purchasing A $595,000 Colonial House Like 7928 Lake Pleasant Dr In 22153?

When you're researching 5-bedroom houses in Springfield, Virginia, should you love the seller as you love yourself? When I became a Realtor, I agreed to adhere to a Code of Ethics and one part of that code is the Golden Rule: treat others as you wish to be treated. But how can the Golden Rule apply when the other party has a house selling for $595,000 but you want to pay $565,250? It doesn't mean that you need to be stupid. It doesn't mean that you have to be a chump. But it does mean that: We always remember the seller is entitled to the same level of humanity, dignity, and sense of fairness as I expect for my buyer client. I believe the Golden Rule transcends divisions of class, status, or race. We investigate before we buy and whenever possible before we even make an offer.

If the idea of following the Golden Rule appeals to you, I'd love the opportunity to be of service. As usual, here are some of the newest listings on the market.
