According to National Association of Realtors' 2008 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, now over 80% of people use the Internet as a primary tool in their search for a new home. Sites like NesbittRealty.com are used by more and more people every day. Some claim that, "Internet condo buyers devote more time to research before working with a real estate agent. But after that, they move quickly, spending just two weeks looking for a new condo, new home, pre-construction condo, townhome, or loft with an agent."
Although some of our clients know exactly what they want and view only a few homes or condos, many of our clients relentlessly research and analyze neighborhoods and homes before taking time to tour properties listed for sale. We find that our site and our Guide have complemented--not diminished--the role played by our real estate agents and realtors. Most Internet condo, townhome, loft, or single family home buyers use an agent in the home buying process.
Our site provides a convenient method to do research about Northern Virginia home listings. NesbittRealty.com provides resources for home buyers and investors looking for new real estate opportunities. If you're reading this now then you have a clue just how big our Internet presence is.

King Street Garden Park
Near King St. Metro in Old Town Alexandria VA, King Street Gardens Park can be found at the foot of the George Washington National Masonic Memorial. The main feature of King Street Gardens is a large metal sculpture with hanging gardens.
The metal sculpture and sunken gardens are of historic aspects of the site. The abstract metal sculpture somewhat represents a plow, a ship’s prow or a colonial style 3 cornered hat, with the sunken gardens representing the wetlands. Trellised gardens were popular during the Victorian Era, and up to date the gardens relive that era. The street grid plan was originally laid out by George Washington.

Although smokers argue that they should have the indisputable right to smoke in their own homes, non-smokers who are concerned about second-hand smoke in condominium communities have challenged that idea. An increasing number of condos are banning smoking, preventing people from lighting up anywhere, even in their own units.
Property managers say properties that choose to go smoke-free have a few options for dealing with long-time tenants who smoke. They can help them quit, or they can grandfather in those who currently live there. Some smokers are opting for electronic (smokeless) cigarettes.
The Tobacco Control Legal Consortium will help landlords draft leases that include smoke-free clauses. It's interesting that the country is moving toward an increasing relaxed stance toward marijuana smoke and at the same time an increasingly intrusive position on tobacco smoke.
