    I have called northern Virginia home for more than 36 of my 72 years. If not a Virginia native, I am very much a Virginian. For the past 19 years, my mission has been to help people realize their dreams through the sale or purchase of real estate and to assist them as their goals change through the various stages in their lives.

    Whether your immediate goal is the sale of a home you have outgrown, a home filled with treasured memories prior to retirement, an inherited property, or an investment property, I will strive to make you feel as though you are a member of a larger real estate “family.” On a scale of 1 to 10, I want your experience working with me to be a 20. Because my business is built on referrals, I want to serve you in such a way that you will be delighted enough to refer your friends and family to me for years to come.

    Thinking of selling a townhome? You will receive the same treatment I would provide to someone selling a multi-million dollar estate. Not only will a professional photographer help me showcase the property, we will create a floorplan, a virtual tour, and a short video walk-through. Aerial photographs will be taken of the home and surrounding neighborhood to highlight any community amenities. This material will be wrapped into a dedicated website, and featured on all major real estate portals, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube so as to provide maximum exposure for your property.

    Experience

    Over the past 19 years, I have helped families prosper regardless of whether the housing market was balanced, putting a premium on negotiation, or skewed so as to provide disproportionate bargaining power to buyers or sellers. I’ve helped investors thrive when buying and flipping, as well as when buying and holding properties for rental. Through life’s most difficult transitions like probate, divorce, and downsizing, I have guided clients through the process, allowing them to get on to the next chapter.

    Expertise

    The National Association of Realtors recognizes me as a Seller Representative Specialist, a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, a Certified International Property Specialist, a Real Estate Negotiating Expert, an Accredited Buyer’s Representative, a Military Relocation Professional, a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, and a Green Realtor.

    Through the Residential Real Estate Council I have earned its Luxury Home, Divorce Specialist, Probate Specialist, and Residential Listing Certifications. I’m a Certified Investor Agent Specialist and a member of the Luxury Home Marketing Institute.

    Excellence

    As someone who looks at the housing market through the lens of a trained statistician, I am in a unique position to assist sellers in setting their listing price and buyers in deciding an offer price. Those that have given me the privilege of listing their homes over the past 19 years have on average garnered 99.5% of the agreed upon list price, regardless of market conditions.

    Going through a divorce is already tough enough—but trying to sell a home during that process? It can feel overwhelming. In this video, I’m walking you through my divorce home selling guide, where I break down exactly what happens from decision to closing so you can approach it all with a clear head and a solid plan. I’m Dwight Morris, a certified divorce specialist with Innovation Properties and part of the NOVA Real Estate Solutions team, and I’ve helped a lot of couples through this exact situation. I put together this video to guide you through the five major phases of selling a home during a divorce. We’ll start with the decision and agreement phase—getting legal and financial advice, drafting a solid pre-sale agreement, and making sure you have a divorce-certified realtor (like me!) in your corner. Then we’ll get into preparing the home for sale—things like repairs, decluttering, and getting a professional valuation to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table. Next, I’ll walk you through how we list and market your home—think high-quality photos and videos, plus getting it in front of the right buyers on multiple platforms. After that, we’ll cover how we handle offers and negotiations—not just chasing the highest price but making smart, fair decisions for both parties. Finally, we’ll talk about everything from under contract to closing—inspections, appraisals, and making sure everything wraps up as smoothly as possible. If you’re thinking about moving to Northern Virginia be sure to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, or schedule a Zoom call.

    Heading to your first open house? Make sure you always come prepared! This includes: 🏡 A list of must-haves and deal-breakers 📱 Your agent’s contact info (and a way to take notes or photos) 🔍 An open mind – photos don’t always tell the full story Bonus tip: Walk the neighborhood afterward.

    Thinking about retirement and wondering whether a condo or townhome or single family home is the right fit? In this video, I break down the real differences between these options and help you discover which works best for retirement—especially if you’re planning to settle down in Northern Virginia. Retirement is a huge milestone, and the type of home you choose can make a big difference in your daily life. I’ve worked with so many clients through NOVA real estate who are in this exact phase of life, and I get asked all the time: should I go with a condo or townhome or single family home? Here’s the truth—there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s why I dive deep into the pros and cons of each type. For example, a condo or townhome or single family home each offers different levels of privacy, space, and maintenance responsibilities. If you want less upkeep and more community access, a condo might be perfect. If you value privacy and a yard, a single-family home might be worth it. And townhomes? They’re a great balance for many people. We also talk about accessibility, finances, and how your health and mobility might influence your choice. The whole goal here is to help you discover which works best for retirement—not just now, but long term. So whether you’re looking into NOVA real estate or just exploring your next step, this video is a must-watch if you’re serious about finding the right fit. If you’re thinking about moving to Northern Virginia be sure to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, or schedule a Zoom call.

    Navigating probate in Virginia can feel super overwhelming, but in this video, I’m breaking down how to create a faster Virginia probate process with some smart, proactive steps. Whether you're dealing with an estate right now or planning ahead for the future, I’ll walk you through planning strategies that work so you can avoid common headaches and delays. We’ll talk about what really slows things down—stuff like disorganized executors, disagreements between beneficiaries, complex assets, and missing documents. Trust me, these issues pop up more often than you think. But here’s the good news: there are ways to make things a whole lot easier. I’ll show you how to use tools like revocable living trusts, joint ownership setups, and transfer-on-death designations to completely avoid probate when possible. If you’re already in the probate process though, don’t worry—I’ve got tips for keeping things on track. Having an organized executor who can stay on top of documents, court deadlines, and financial records is key to a faster Virginia probate process. We’ll also dive into Virginia’s simplified procedures for small estates, how to prevent disputes through good communication, and why understanding taxes is crucial. Plus, I’ll explain how a certified probate specialist, like someone from NOVA Real Estate Solutions, can help manage real estate within an estate more smoothly and efficiently.

    In this video, I’m diving deep into the world of divorce home appraisal and sharing some insider tips for a smoother settlement that can really make a difference during a tough time. If you’re dealing with a divorce here in Fairfax, Loudoun or Prince William counties in Virginia, you probably already know that getting a divorce home appraisal isn’t as simple as a regular home sale. It’s all about fairness, impartiality, and making sure both sides get an accurate picture of what the home is really worth. I’ll walk you through why an appraisal matters so much—especially when it comes to figuring out buyout amounts or refinancing options. We’ll talk about why choosing the right appraiser is so important, how to get your home ready for inspection, and what makes a divorce home appraisal different from the usual process. You’ll hear about things like retrospective valuations, client identity, and other small details that can have a huge impact on your settlement. Plus, I’ll share some practical, real-world advice from nova real estate solutions that’s helped other folks avoid costly mistakes. My goal? To help you navigate this process with confidence, so you can focus on what’s next in your life.

    Have you ever heard horror stories about families getting torn apart over inheritance issues? Yeah, VA probate fights are no joke—they can be messy, emotional, and crazy expensive. In this video, I’m breaking down how to prevent them before they even start. Whether you're dealing with an estate now or planning ahead for your loved ones, this is one of those topics you don’t want to ignore. I’ll walk you through all the common reasons why VA probate fights happen—things like someone contesting a will, arguing over who gets what, or accusing the executor of mishandling things. And trust me, these aren’t rare. But the good news? You can totally avoid most of these problems with the right prep. I’ll also explain why proactive estate planning is key. That means having a clear, legally solid will, using tools like revocable living trusts, and making sure your beneficiary designations are all updated. If you’ve got assets outside the will, like retirement accounts or life insurance, those need attention too—otherwise, they can trigger VA probate fights faster than you’d think. And if you’re the one handling someone’s estate? Don’t panic. I’ll give you some real-world tips on how to stay organized, communicate clearly, and when to bring in the pros. Trust me, with the right approach (and a little help from folks like me at NOVA Real Estate Solutions), you can avoid most of the stress.

    Spring gets all the hype, but is it actually the best time to sell? Spring is popular—more buyers, more competition. But here’s the thing… 🏡 Summer = families rushing to close before school 🍂 Fall = serious buyers, less competition ❄️ Winter = fewer listings, but more motivated buyers 💡 The best time to sell? When your home looks its best, and you have a smart strategy. #homesellingtips #realestatetiming #sellsmart
