Marine Corps Charity Benefit, Saturday March 9, 2013

Marine Corps Charity Benefit, Saturday March 9, 2013.

We were fortunate enough to be invited to the USMC Charity Benefit at the Quantico Officers Club on Saturday, March 9.  One of my client’s Andreea Mickliss of the Officer’s Wives’ club helped to organize the event. 

After navigating the driver’s license check at the gate, we wound ourselves back onto the extensive base.  There are nearly 100 square miles of land at the base.  At first we wound through trees with nothing but a small creek defining the edge of the base with the few older homes of Quantico located just beyond.  Eventually we found ourselves in what resembled a 1950s small town with several huge barracks and grounds.  We kept going until we found the Clubs at Quantico.

The country-western themed charity auction, buffet and dance was very well attended.  They raised over $20,000 to benefit the education fund for children of USMC.   The two auctioneers pumped up the crowd and obtained records donations for the items.  Many books written by generals were auctioned, along with a bourbon collection,  chairs signed by generals, backyard party kits, and a weekend at an Annapolis B&B.  The “Military-by-Owner” website and leasing facilitator was one of the largest corporate donors at the event.  The taco buffet was very popular.  Then the DJ provided dance music for the revelers who loved the line dancing and the slow dancing.

Distress Sale of Luxury Homes = Maximum Savings

DC Luxury Home for Absolute Auction, No Minimum Bid

As we move into the real estate recovery, there are fewer short sales and foreclosures coming on the market.  However, there are still some really interesting real estate opportunities coming on the market in the DC & Northern Virginia area.

Take for example,  3101 Chain Bridge Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20016.  This home is currently valued at over $15,000,000, but is being offered for absolute auction on April 6, 2013. Here are some of the details about the property:

SHEER SPLENDOR!  Said to be the grandest property in Washington, D.C., this stately mansion is in a magnificent location overlooking historic Battery Kemble Park.  The estate offers over 15,000 square feet of luxury living which includes a ballroom with a butler’s pantry and two bathrooms.  In addition, a pool/guest house, gym, seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, 4 half bathrooms, cozy library with a fireplace, generous kitchen, dining room that seats eighteen, large living room with a fireplace and a family room with a fireplace and porch.  The main level of the home is designed around a wide central hall and boasts a huge, very comfortable elevator, and a caterers entrance/garage downstairs.  An enclosed rooftop ensures spectacular evening entertaining for family, friends and VIP’S!

Some of my clients have been building their real estate portfolios over the past few years by bidding at auction.   I have never seen as much auction activity as in the past 3 years.  There are usually on-line auctions of moderately priced homes on-going in the area.  I am always receiving notifications of properties for sale at auction, and the auctions are usually set up for Realtors to show their clients the properties before the auction.  Of course, these properties are being sold AS IS, without inspections.  However, in my experience, the title is clear when the properties transfer to the new owner

Let me know if you would like more details about this property?  Or if you would to receive notifications of “cheap homes” being sold in the area?
