If your Internet search for a realtor covering Northern Virginia has landed you at Liz Lord’s site, you are in luck. Stop, go no further, and pick up the phone to arrange a meeting. You will not regret it. She is a real professional, who will listen to your needs and give you a forthright, honest, and detailed strategy for either purchasing or selling your home. If you have found out about Liz Lord through the Internet, however, you will no doubt be in the minority. Most likely you will have heard about her from a satisfied client, just as I did. I reached out to a Foreign Service couple who had just completed a home sale to ask them who they would recommend, and their response was immediate: “Call Liz Lord. She’s super.” I followed their advice, and did not regret it for a moment. I suppose that just about anyone can sell a house when buyers are clamoring for places and competing offers are raining down. What Liz Lord helped me navigate was something far more difficult — a market that was shifting fast, and unfavorably from the standpoint of a seller, with prices tumbling, interest rates rising, and offers dwindling. When there was unpleasant news to deliver, Liz did not hesitate to deliver it, but I always felt certain that she was seeking the very best sale opportunity that the changing conditions would allow. Her efforts successfully attracted two offers, even in a declining market, and the final sales priced came in higher than the list price. Her confidence in her own skills was evident in yet another way — at the outset, she offered to cover the costs of staging, and never flinched from that commitment. And yes, she kept me fully informed of every step along the way, and when the sale finally closed in November 2022, she had made certain that every single detail made it to the finish line. That’s why I can say that the easiest decision I made during the whole sale process was the first one — giving Liz Lord a call.
