I have lived in Loudoun County for 34 years. I attended Broad Run High School in the days we referred to it as Corn Field High!

After attending WVU, I married and returned to Good Ole' Loudoun to raise a family. During the past 34 years I've gone from raising 4 wonderful kids, 28, 26, 23 & 21 on a 30 acre working farm in Western Loudoun to residing with my husband, Tim ( Agent Support ) and my Jack Russel, Dordy as empty Nester's in the great town of Purcellville. I devoted 13 years to working with Loudoun County Public Schools, now to Real Estate!

What Should Buyers Know About Auctions? Vicky Chrisner aka " The Real Estate Whisperer" is a Certified Auction Specialist. Here is what she has to say about Auctions!

Auctions are just one more tool, which can be good for both buyers and seller in today's market. As they are being used with increasing frequency, I get more and more questions... and I hear potential buyers saying things that they assume but which are completely wrong. Sadly, I also hear inaccuracies about auctions and intimidation with the auction process, even from real estate agents.

So, as a Certified Auction Specialist, and an agent who works with both buyers and sellers, I thought I should make an effort to educate the public on the process. As it is a large topic, I will attempt to share what I know through a series of posts...which are intended to educate buyers, sellers and the general public.


Our first post is "Auctions, Part 1: Where is the Auction Held?" . By understanding where the auction is, you automatically know certain things about how the auction will be promoted and run.
